Julie Bishop (August 30, 1914 – August 30, 2001) was an American film and television actress. She appeared in over 80 films between 1923 and 1957.

Bishop was born Jacqueline Wells and used her birth name professionally through 1941. She also appeared on stage (and in one film) as Diane Duval. She settled on the name by which she is best remembered when offered a contract by Warner Bros. on the condition that she change her name, which was associated with her almost exclusively B-movie appearances through 1941 (amounting to nearly 50 films over 17 years). She choose the name because it matched the monograms on her luggage (she had for a time been married to Walter Booth Brooks III, a writer).

She made 16 films at Warners, including a supporting role in 1943's "Princess O'Rourke", supporting Olivia de Havilland and Robert Cummings. While filming, she met her second husband, Clarence Shoop, a pilot. She was Humphrey Bogart's leading lady in "Action in the North Atlantic" (1943), played Ira Gershwin's wife in the biopic "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 (who received an Oscar nomination for his work in the film). She was among several former Wayne co-stars (including Laraine Day, Ann Doran, Jan Sterling, and Claire Trevor) who joined the actor in the 1954 aviation drama "The High and the Mighty".

Bishop had one daughter, actress Pamela Susan Shoop, and one son (also by Shoop), like his father a pilot.

Julie Bishop at the Internet Movie Database

Colorado-born leading lady Julie Bishop, who also acted under her birth name of Jacqueline Wells and the stage name Diane Duval, started off as a silent movie child actress, working with such legends as Clara Bow and Mary Pickford.

The daughter of a wealthy banker and oilman, she was raised in Texas and eventually Los Angeles following her parents' divorce. She was signed by Warner Bros in 1940 and played a dutiful sweethearts opposite filmdom's top male stars, notably Errol Flynn in "Northern Pursuit" (1943), Humphrey Bogart in "Action in the North Atlantic" (1943), John Wayne in both "Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949) and "The High and the Mighty" (1954), and Alan Ladd in "The Big Land" (1957), her last picture. But, for the most part, she was never given anything challenging enough to become a top-flight star.

She also appeared on stage in "Hamlet and "The Merchant of Venice.

A licensed private pilot, Julie painted still lifes and staged several exhibitions in her post-career years. She died at age 87, on her birthday.
