90s movie star, 61, unrecognisable 28 years after playing iconic bully and appearing in Friends
WHEN it comes to cult classic films, 90s flick Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is at the top of the list.
One of the movie’s stars, who is now aged 61, looked unrecognisable – 28 years after playing the film‘s iconic bully.
Actress Julia Campbell is best known for her role in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.
The 1997 movie follows Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow), who decide to invent fake careers to impress their former classmates at a 10-year high school reunion.
Julia played Christie, who was their High School bully, who hadn’t changed one bit since their school days.
The mean girl character was hugely popular, and helped put the actress on the map.
In one her latest roles, the movie Jesus Revolution, the actress looks a far cry from mean girl Christie.
The film had a star cast which included Frasier star Kelsey Grammer.
The beautiful actress has continued to work through the years, and her next project is a film called Legendary Road, which she has just completed filming.
Julia has appeared in many high profile shows including The Resident and Dexter.
FRIENDS STAR
Die-hard fans will also remember that Julia also appeared in a an episode of Friends.
She played a woman called Whitney in season 7 (2000), who was dating Ross (David Schwimmer).
Julia also shared scenes with her friend Lisa Kudrow, as her character Phoebe was dating Whitney’s ex-husband in the episode.
ROMY AND MICHELE SEQUEL
Julia may also be soon reprising the role of Christie, as the wheels are in motion for a sequel to Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.
The follow-up to the 1997 comedy is expected to see Friends star Lisa and fellow lead Mira reprise their roles.
Last month, Mira appeared to confirm the sequel was in the works after it was first reported that they were in talks by The Hollywood Reporter.
Posting an image of the article on Instagram, she wrote: “We’re pretty excited about it.”
Lisa also seemed to confirm the second movie.
“There’s a script that’s really good, [by] Robin Schiff,” she told the Drew Barrymore Show.
Before adding: “So it’ll happen, I mean, we’ll see.”
Filming for the sequel is believed to be starting in June this year.
Ever since its release in the late 90s, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion has become a cult classic.
It has been turned into a musical adaptation in 2017 and a television prequel which premiered in 2005 on ABC.
