She is best known for her portrayal of Sandra Corleone in "The Godfather". Very little information is available on her personal life.

Roles on Television

Ms. Gregg's first television role was in 1964 as a nurse in "McHale's Navy". She guest starred in many television shows in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, in both dramatic and comic roles. For example, she twice appeared on Bewitched, in two different guest roles. The first was in "Double Split," episode no. 62 in season 2, 1966, and the second in 1967 during season 3, episode no. 99, "The Crone of Cawdor." In the latter show, she played Terry Warbell, a magic crone, who stole the youth of people when she kissed them, including Darrin Stevens.

She also appeared in two separate episodes of "Mission Impossible", again playing different characters. In 1969, in season 4, episode 91 "Amnesiac", she played Monique, an Impossible Missions Force operative. That was the season when the show had no permanent female operative because Barbara Bain, who played Cinnamon Carter in seasons 1-3, had resigned and Lesley Ann Warren, who played Dana Lambert in season 5, had not yet signed on. Then in 1970 in season 5, she played Anna Kerkoska, a premier's daughter who needed rescuing, in episode no. 112, "Decoy". Anna fell in love with Jim Phelps, who did indeed rescue her by driving her across the border in a specially outfitted, low to the ground, automobile that could drive under the border gate.

Ms. Gregg was cast in a starring role in the short-lived drama series, "Mobile One", on ABC in 1975. She played Maggie Spencer, a television news assignment editor, in 11 episodes with co-star Jackie Cooper. The show was cancelled in December after those 11 episodes.

Her last television role was as Sally in the "Thanksgiving" episode on Showtime's "Brothers" in 1987. [ [http://www.tv.com/julie-gregg/person/29920/summary.html TV.com's summary of Julie Gregg's TV Roles] ]
