On the 6th of May in the year 1960, William and Ann Phillips welcomed a daughter into the world, and they named her <a href="/biography/julianne-phillips">Julianne Philips</a>. William Phillips worked as a broker of insurance and Ann Phillips was a stay at home mother and wife. The family already had five children, Julianne was their <a href="/biography/julianne-phillips">sixth</a>. The family moved to Oregon when Julianne was 7 years old, they settled in Lake Oswego, a wealthy suburb of Portland. She was raised as a follower of Roman Catholicism. Julianne attended Lake Oswego High School, and then completed her higher education at Brooks College.

Julianne was an attractive young <a href="/biography/julianne-phillips">woman</a>, confident and aware in regards to her talents and strengths. She was interested in modeling as a teen, although her parents didn’t approve of that career choice. After college, in the early 1980s, she went to Manhattan in order to try and find some work as a model. Standing 1.73 meters tall, she was able to be sponsored by the Elite Modelling Agency. The agency considered her to be a ‘perfect ten package’ and she was able to command a pay rate of $2000 per day. She eventually moved to Los Angeles to try and build an acting career. Her first appearance on a screen was in a music video for the rock musical group .38 Special. That role was her proverbial ‘foot in the door’, and inspired her to audition for additional acting work. In 1984 she appeared in two movies made for television, called Summer Fantasy and His Mistress. Her big breakthrough for her fame was her appearance in a music video for the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">musician</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> and his song titled ‘Glory Days’. Julianne and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a> were attracted to one another, and began dating. Their intense and steamy courtship was talked about among the Hollywood celebrity gossip avenues.

Julianne’s fame grew exponentially as a result of her courtship with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a>, and the relationship is responsible for much of her life’s fame. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a> was at his peak fame around that time, and the entertainment media was very interested in their relationship. They dated for 8 months, and on May 13th, 1985, Julianne Phillips and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> were married in her home town of Lake Oswego, Oregon. They had to keep their marriage plans very low key, to avoid a media circus invading their ceremony. They decided to marry as soon as their marriage license was valid, which was at midnight on May 13th, 1985. There were about 55 people in attendance, mainly family, but some famous people who were friends of the couple did also attend. Their marriage was somewhat rocky and they were apparently rather ill suited for one another.

The media speculated on their problems, usually blaming Julianne for their trouble. Julianne and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a> tried to keep the marriage together, but ultimately they separated in 1998 and finally parted ways in 1989. In the divorce settlement, Julianne was granted an alimony settlement of a whopping 30 million dollars, which Phillips did not receive until fifteen years after the divorce. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a> expressed his grief over the failing marriage in his 1987 album titled Tunnel of Love. He later revealed in his biography that he wasn’t ready for marriage, as he was essentially married to his career at that time. They also had an eleven year difference in age, which also negatively affected their compatibility. Their divorce was a ‘no publicity’ divorce, which caused the media to speculate on what exactly happened in their relationship to lead to divorce.

After her relationship with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a> ended, Julianne continued to build her acting career through hard work and dedication. She appeared in a variety of movies and TV shows. However, her filmography, which can be found on Wikipedia and IMDB, show that her list of acting roles was overall relatively unremarkable.

She had a variety of mostly forgotten roles after her marriage to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce</a> ended. In 1986 she starred in ‘Odd Jobs’. In 1998 she was in two films, ‘Seven Hours to Judgement’ and ‘Sweet Lies’. She starred in a film titled ‘Skin Deep’ in the 1989, in which she starred opposite <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ritter">John Ritter</a>. That same year, she starred in ‘Fletch Lives’ in a role opposite <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Chase">Chevy Chase</a>. In the year 1990, she was cast as the lead role in a new television series called ‘Sisters’, in the role of Frankie. Frankie, the character, was a business woman focused on her career and not much else. This role was, and remains, the biggest role in her career by far. The show was relatively popular, and is considered one of the better shows of the 90s. She worked on the show for a total of four seasons, and then left the show after it had it’s fifth season, in 1995. She did come back to the show, to star in the final episode in 1996.

After that show ended, she decided to return to her movie career, and she had an appearance in a film titled Big Bully in 1996. In 1997 she appeared in a few roles – in a film called Colin Fitz Lives!, another titled Allie & Me, and lastly she had a role in a made for television disaster movie titled Tidal Wave: No Escape.

Those were her last roles in film and television. Julianne has been dormant in show business since the year 1997. She has since strictly avoided the limelight and she prefers to live her life in a peaceful way. She never remarried, but she has had relationships with famous people, notably <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_Brosnan">Pierce Brosnan</a> and Bryan Kestner. She currently has her main residence in Los Angeles, and she also often spends her time in Toronto, Canada, and in El Salvador. Julianne has most recently appeared in the public eye in 2014, when she appeared in a special edition of Entertainment Weekly that showcased their report on the reunion of the cast of Sisters. She has a net worth that is equal to her alimony sum which is $30 million.
