Julie Carmen Exposes Her Roots

Common Sense Mamita Latest Episode Features Julie Carmen

Lydia Nicole’s latest Common Sense Mamita interview exposes Julie Carmen‘s early years training extensively with New York’s Group Theater gurus Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen and how she booked lead roles in iconic films directed by John Cassavetes and Sidney Furie. She opens up about the rigor of training daily at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater, HB Studio and INTAR Theatre. To say she studied intensely is an understatement.

Julie talks about booking her first movie-of-the-week (Freddie Prinze Story) that forced her to leave the Broadway production of Zoot Suit but  brought her to Hollywood and how lonely that felt for a New York native.


Julie Carmen is an actress, dancer, certified yoga therapist and in 2005, became a licensed psychotherapist. She won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for her role in John Cassavetes’ classic Gloria (1980), and is best known for her starring roles in John Carpenter’s cult classic In the Mouth of Madness (1994), Fright Night Part 2, and Robert Redford’s The Milagro Beanfield War (1988).


Julie was invited into the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in the class of 2016, and was inducted into the New Mexico Film and Television Hall of Fame in 2018. Her most recent films, Windows on the World opposite Edward James Olmos and Ryan Guzman; You Can’t Say No, opposite Peter Fonda and Dawn Patrol opposite Scott Eastwood, mark her return to the big screen after taking some family time.
