A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:

January 3, 1985
Born in France, Julia is the daughter of Dutch film producer Ludi Boeken and French journalist and writer Annette Levy Willard. Julia's first breakout role in France was playing Louba in "Louba's Ghost" at age fourteen; a film about Holocaust survivors for which Julia was invited to the San Francisco and Washington film festivals. In 2007 Julia starred in the Israeli hit drama Alufa-Ha where she plays an American spy working for the Mossad. Julia has always had a strong attachment for the country, as she completed an army training there. She was voted one of the top five hottest actresses in Israel. In the same year, Julia was cast as a recurrent character in the hit HBO series "Entourage", playing Johnny Drama's French girlfriend "Jacqueline", for which she was flown to the Cannes film festival to shoot the season finale. In 2008, she was cast as one of the leads in the biggest French Israeli Production of the year, "Revivre", to be seen on French screens and television. Julia would love to continue her international appeal working in both TV and Film and divides up her time between Los Angeles and Paris. She is also fluent in Italian and Hebrew.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
