Julie Ann Brown (born August 31, 1958 in Van Nuys, California) is an American actor, stand-up comic, comedic singer-songwriter and screenwriter. Brown is perhaps best known for her work in the 1980s, where she often played a quintessential valley girl character. She attended Catholic school as a child, Van Nuys High School as a teenager, and as a young adult attended Los Angeles Valley College. Much of her comedy has revolved around the mocking of famous people (with a strong and frequently revisited focus on Madonna.) However, unlike some comedian who claim to love the celebrities they mock, Brown satirizes and attacks those whom she feels are undeserving of their fame and are of questionable talent.

Career

---

Comedian Lily Tomlin saw Brown at a comedy club and gave her her first break, a part in her 1981 film The Incredible Shrinking Woman. A string of B-movies followed.

In 1985, she released her first EP, a five-song album called Goddess in Progress. The album, parodies of popular '80s music combined with her valley girl personality, was quickly discovered by the Dr. Demento Show. The songs "'Cause I'm a Blonde" and "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" were given radio airplay across the world. The latter was a spoof on traditional 1950s songs about teen romance, à la "It's My Party", with cheerleaders' heads and pompoms being blown to pieces.
