Her remarkable career includes Broadway, films and cabaret. She has performed in every major cabaret in the United States since her return to nightclubs in 1986 after a 10-year hiatus to raise her two sons and care for her aging parents in Omaha, Nebraska.

Her Broadway credits include "Kiss Me Kate," "The Pajama Game," "Kismet," "Jimmy," "Hannah - 1939," and "Legs Diamond" (for which she received a Tony nomination). In London's West End she created the role of Bianca in "Kiss Me Kate," and starred in "South Pacific," "Bet Your Life," and "Bells Are Ringing." She has also appeared in London's major supper clubs.

Many of her albums are considered collector's items and include: "Julie Wilson Sings the Stephen Sondheim Songbook," "The Cole Porter Songbook," "Live at the Russian Tea Room," and "My Old Flame." Her story is told in a recent book by Debra Grace Winer entitled "The Night and the Music" Rosemary Clooney, Barbara Cook and Julie Wilson - Inside the World of Cabaret."
