681.0. "RIP Raul Julia" by AIMTEC::MORABITO_P (Hotlanta Rocks) Tue Oct 25 1994 00:33

Raul Julia passed away today from complications brought on by a stroke.
He was 54 years old.  I enjoyed him in "Presummed Innocent" as defense 
attorney Sandy Stern.  Then there was a film he played in with Susan 
Sarandon that escapes me.  He will be buried in his native Puerto Rico.

    	I think the Susan Sarandon movie was "Compromising Positions".

    Raul Julia also appeared with Susan Sarandon in "Tempest", along with
    John Cassavetes, Gena Rowlands, and Molly Ringwald.

    This is a genuine tragedy.  I had the great honor of meeting Mr. Julia
    at a clean-up party after the LA riots.  He was a kind and generous
    _human_ being and his presence in hollywood will be missed.

    I also enjoyed all of his work, especially as the police detective in
    "Compromising Positions" and as the dictator's right hand man in the
    underrated but wonderfully funny "Moon Over Parador".  He did the Frank
    Langella role from "Dave" five years earlier, and did it better.

    I know this a late reply, but he really was brilliant as Gomez Addams
    in the Adamms Family, better in a lot of ways than the original..
