'''Julie Bishop''' (born '''Jacqueline Brown'''; August 30, 1914 – August 30, 2001), previously known as '''Jacqueline Wells''', was an American film and television actress. She appeared in more than 80 films between 1923 and 1957.

== Early life ==
Julie Bishop was born Jacqueline Brown in Denver, Colorado<ref name="opa">{{cite book|last1=Lentz|first1=Harris M.

She used the family name Wells professionally through 1941, and also appeared on stage (and in one film) as '''Diane Duval'''. She was a child actress, beginning her career in 1923, in either ''[[Children of Jazz]]'' or ''[[Maytime (1923 film)|Maytime]]'' (sources are contradictory).<ref name="whf">{{cite book|last1=Mank|first1=Gregory William|title=Women in Horror Films, 1930s|date=2005|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9781476609546|pages=230–231|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1zGSCgAAQBAJ&q=%22Jacqueline+Wells%22+actress&pg=PA230|access-date=14 June 2017|language=en}}</ref>

== Career ==

[[File:Julie Bishop.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]
[[File:Jacqueline Wells (aka Julie Bishop).png|thumb|Julie Bishop also known as Jacqueline Wells in 1938 [[Photoplay]]]]
By 1932, she was already a veteran film actress. Her earliest talkies were with the [[Hal Roach]] studio, where she worked in short-subject comedies with [[Laurel and Hardy]], [[Charley Chase]], and [[The Boy Friends]]. Then she began freelancing, working in supporting roles at large studios and in leading roles at small studios. Her ingenue role in the 1936 Laurel and Hardy feature ''[[The Bohemian Girl (1936 film)|The Bohemian Girl]]'' won her a contract at [[Columbia Pictures]], where she starred in a succession of minor features, mostly action fare. She left Columbia in 1939 and resumed her freelance career.{{Citation needed |date=November 2023}}

In 1941, she was offered a contract by [[Warner Bros.]] on the condition that she change her name; "Jacqueline Wells" was considered a faded, B-picture name. She chose the name Julie Bishop because it matched the monograms on her luggage (created when her married name was Jacqueline Brooks).{{Citation needed |date=November 2023}}

She made 16 films at Warners, including supporting roles in ''[[Action in the North Atlantic]]'' (1943) with [[Humphrey Bogart]] and ''[[Princess O'Rourke]]'' (1943), starring [[Olivia de Havilland]] and [[Robert Cummings]]. While filming the latter, she met her second husband, [[Clarence A. Shoop|Clarence Shoop]], a pilot. She was [[Errol Flynn]]'s leading lady in ''[[Northern Pursuit]]'' (1943), played [[Ira Gershwin]]'s wife in the [[Biographical film|biopic]] ''[[Rhapsody in Blue (film)|Rhapsody in Blue]]'' (1945), and closed out her Warners years in 1946's ''[[Cinderella Jones]]''.

In 1949, Bishop played a down-on-her-luck wife and mother in the ''[[Sands of Iwo Jima]]'', opposite [[John Wayne]]. She was among several former Wayne co-stars (including [[Laraine Day]], [[Ann Doran]], [[Jan Sterling]], and [[Claire Trevor]]) who joined the actor in 1954's aviation drama, ''[[The High and the Mighty (film)|The High and the Mighty]]''.

She went on to work in television, notably opposite [[Bob Cummings]] in his situation comedies. She retired from acting in 1957.
