Julie frequently strips, fondles her breasts and other private parts for still photos appearing in High Society, which credited her as its "publisher" from 1991-1994. The busty blonde lives in Las Vegas. From the 9/17/98 New Times (Los Angeles): "Although only 34, the personable and articulate dancer, model, and ex-adult-movie queen qualifies as a senior stateswoman of porn. Unprepared for the adult film world straight out of Granada Hills High School in the early '80s, she paid a heavy price. After someone slipped a drug into her drink at an all-night party, she didn't fully regain her senses for a week, coming to in a Marina del Rey penthouse, where she had been raped by a succession of men over a six-day period. She developed, and later kicked, a drug habit. Having sworn off acting in adult movies, she continues to draw on her early screen success to boost her career as a feature dancer and model, even while acknowledging conflict with her chosen profession. Froma religious family (her sister is an evangelist in New York City), Parton, like others in porn, keeps a foot in two worlds. When not on the road stripping, she can often be found on Sundays singing in a Methodist church choir near her home in San Diego County - using an assumed name and wearing no makeup." Parton plans to launch Porn Radio on the internet in early 1999. As of 10/00, her web site had been down a couple of months. 4/11/01 Jason Sechrest writes: With "Saving Jezebel," the legendary Julia Parton hopes to enlighten a new generation of sex screen starlets while opening the minds of industry outsiders. (LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Julia Parton, once tabloid fodder for her rumored connection to a certain country-western songstress, said her goodbyes to the world of adult entertainment on February 22nd, 2001, with a final live performance on Danni's Hard Drive (www.danni.com). But don't think you've heard the last from her just yet! At the urging of close friends and various publishing houses, Parton has finally agreed to bring the story of her life to the printed page. "Saving Jezebel" will cover the icon's gamut of professions including feature dancer, magazine publisher, photographer, adult film actress, B-movie legend, and more. It also promises to expose her most personal traumas, leading up to the automobile accident that nearly ended her life in December of 1999. "The year I spent recovering from the injuries was the first time I ever sat still long enough to question where I was and how I got there. I came to realize I wasn't very happy with where I'd ended up," says Parton. To assist her in transcribing the tell-all, "Saving Jezebel" will be Parton's story as told by Jason Sechrest. "I've known Jason for years and have always loved the work he's done as a journalist," explains Parton, "but it wasn't until he interviewed me recently for a retrospective piece on my career that I realized how comfortable I felt talking to him. I've had such a hard time finding someone I wanted to tell my story to, but during our interview it became very clear to me that he was who I wanted. I have a lot of very personal, somewhat shocking stories to reveal and the great thing about Jason is that he's not easily shocked and he will never judge you. He's a lot like me actually. We both want to say similar things with this book." Parton and Sechrest are interested in opening readers' minds towards sexuality and the adult genre, while giving the industry's newcomers a list of dos and don'ts. Sechrest says: "Julia learned a lot of life's lessons the hard way and she is genuinely interested in giving the next round of starlets a guide to follow. Her life has been a roller coaster and my hope is that anyone who gets on that ride via her story comes away from it with a new perspective on women in her profession. I think the majority of the population tends to view women like her as being very one-dimensional. If anyone is going to break that stereotype with their life story, it's going to be Julia."
