Biography

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Raul Julia was discovered while performing in a nightclub in San Juan by actor Orson Bean who inspired him to move to the mainland to pursue other projects. Julia moved to Manhattan, New York City in 1964 and quickly found work by acting in small and supporting roles in off-Broadway shows. In 1966, he began appearing in Shakespearean roles, creating a deliciously conniving Edmund in King Lear in 1973 and a smoldering Othello in 1979. Julia also made his mark on the musical stage playing one of the Two Gentlemen of Verona during its run in 1971, and a chilling role of Mack the Knife in The Threepenny Opera in 1976 and as a Fellini-esque film director in Nine (1982). The stage successes led to his movie works where he is better known. One of his best movie roles is a passionate political prisoner in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). Julia also appeared as dramatic heroes and memorable villains in a number of films and made-for-TV-movies. His later roles included the loopily macabre Gomez Addams in two Addams Family movies. With his health declining from 1993 onward after being diagnosed with cancer, Julia kept on acting, playing Brazilian rainforest activist Chico Mendez in The Burning Season (1994), for which he posthumously won a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award. On October 16, 1994, the weakened and gaunt Raul Julia suffered a stroke in his New York City apartment where he fell into a coma and was put on life support. He was transferred to a hospital in nearby Manhasset where his weakened body finally gave up the struggle on October 24, 1994 at age 54. His body was flown back to Puerto Rico for burial where thousands turned out for his state funeral to remember him.
