Julie Goulette
- Actress
Julie Goulette is quadruple threat actress, dancer, musician and producer, out of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, best known for her staring role as Most Animated Face in the Crowd/Hockey Fan in Merry Kiss Cam (2022). Though there are many many many other things for which she is known.
Goulette was born on March 17th, 1995, in St. Paul, MN to parents Gretchen and Mark Goulette. She was the youngest of three girls, and her parents knew right away she was something special. At less than one year of age, baby Julie rolled herself to the piano bench, vaulted atop it, and started plunking out the chords to Moonlight Sonata. Once referred to in The Paper as the bright shining star of New Brighton, Goulette continued to shine her light into people's eyes in the likes of Decorah, IA and Woodbury, MN.
Goulette made her stage debut as Mrs. Banks in the Wilshire Park production of Mary Poppins in 2004. Other featured roles include Dance Captain in Miss Nelson is Missing at a young age too shocking to be named (but definitely prepubescent). Her long stage career included humongous roles such as "Mermaid" in Peter Pan, "Oompa Loompa Number One" in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and of course, "Jet Girl Number Four" in the highly acclaimed West Side Story.
It was more than just stage work for Goulette, as she clawed her way to the top dancing and acting her little heart out, she was also making names for herself in music. For over four years, Julie led The Band as a Drum Major, marching herself through Minnesota's finest streets. She was once interviewed by A Broadcast Network saying "This is my dream. I've made it. I can walk backward and keep a beat with my hands... look out world, I can do anything!" Video footage of this interview, featuring Goulette walking backwards and wearing white gloves, and concluding the interview with a round-off back handspring, can be found here. But she was more than the standard triple threat actress, musician, dancer. Julie was also born to make her own shows.
It was in the 2000s, the world of production was bleak. There was absolutely nothing worth seeing coming out. One cold (winter's?) night, someone somewhere needed A Stage Manager for Lucky Stiff. And guess what, that very same night, Julie was tossing and turning, sleepless in her bed thinking about just how wonderful it would be to produce a show, nay, manage the stage of a show. When bam, the phone rang. Destiny.
Her movie, Merry Kiss Cam, releasing in living rooms somewhere on November 24th, 2022 required stamina. Long hours driving to set, hours in the chair getting her already perfect hair coiffed and face powdered, and hours of facial expression work in her bathroom mirror ("expressive eyes, not crazy eyes!"). She spent days chasing a laser light around the ice, digging deep within herself to avoid her eyeballs being burnt out of her skull. But after months and months of filming in the frigid arena, magic happened. And we're all here to see it unfold on the Silver Screen.
Julie Goulette has been sharing her time between her two homes, one in Woodbury, Minnesota, and one in New York, New York, a Penthouse on 5th Ave. She is known for thanking the little people who got here where she is today. Without naming names, she is most grateful for her family and ofc her Bronze Boys.
