Julie Newmar is 92 and still thriving as a glamour icon.
The star, who played Catwoman in the Batman TV series back in the '60s, has endless theatrical productions to her name, like Damn Yankees and Ziegfeld Follies. However, she'll forever be associated with that classic black suit and the ears she wore while batting Adam West and Burt Ward in Batman. But in a revealing new interview, the star opened up about life in her nineties, and what she's been doing in recent years.
“I would say my life is about beauty,” Newmar told The Guardian. “I want to be a beautiful old woman; beauty in the garden; beauty in your behaviour, in your treatment of others. Because we all know that life’s a circle. All this stuff comes back. And in my 90s now, one has evolved. Big things happen now, and they’re more in the metaphysical; they’re in the ‘what can I do for others?’ Because I’ve already done it for myself.”

Newmar is a single mother to her son, John, who has Down syndrome. After developing meningitis at age three, he went deaf. At the time, she knew nothing about raising a child with special needs. But she figured it out and navigated the situation with grace.
“We made it work. So John had a lovely, lovely life," she explained. “I signed up to learn sign language at night school, so that I could speak to him in a way that would help his understanding of life."
He still lives with her and was out and about with a caretaker during her interview.
“I found someone who is deaf to take him out and about during the day, and then they have a special group of disabled people that self-organize that they can be with during the daytime," she noted.
Looking Back on the Batman Era
While Newmar said she was never romantically involved with Adam West, who played Batman, she had the time of her life on the show. If you need a little flashback, check out the video below:
