Julie Michaels (born July 20, 1970) is an American actress and stuntwoman. Her first film role was Denise in Road House (1989).[1] She also appeared in Doctor Mordrid (1992), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), and Chick Fight (2020).
Michaels is from an Italian family.[2] She married stunt coordinator Peewee Piemonte.[3]
In May 2000 Michaels sued Morgan Gindal, producer of the television program V.I.P., and Lafitte Productions Inc., the company that produced the show, after she lost her job as stunt double for Pamela Anderson, the star of the series. The suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court said that Michaels adapted to the job by changing the color and style of her hair, having tatoos painted on, and having breast augmentation surgery in order to more nearly resemble Anderson. An injury while she worked on the show in 1998 prevented her from performing in the season's last five episodes. When the next season began in 1999, Michaels said that she was told that another double had been hired. She sought unspecified damages.[4]
