Julia was a TV-show character starred by the African American actress Diahann Carol.
The Mattel doll Nurse Julia was made with the same mold as Christie and the only real difference between them is the hairdo, as Julia has got straight hair in an oxidized red tone or a beautiful brown shade.

This is the second issue Twist'n Turn Julia in a onepiece nurse uniform.
