ject. "There are some people,
like Woody Allen, who ques-
tion their religion all the
time," she says. "For me, it's
just there. I think that's true
for lots of Jewish people of my
generation, who are not ter-
ribly religious, but it's just
there."
Asked about Israel, Ms.
Kavner responds in the same
vein. Her parents have visited
the Jewish state, and her
sister Nora even worked on a
kibbutz, but as for her, she
says with a laugh, "I'm too
nervous to go to Israel. I don't
go where they fight!'
When Julie was 8 years old,
her family moved upscale to
Beverly Hills, a time and
place she would just as soon
forget. As a shy, dark-haired
and plump high school girl
among the rich and beautiful
youngsters of famous and
glamorous parents, she had a
miserable time. She tried out
for school plays and was turn-
ed down regularly. "I hated it,
I hated it," she says with deep
conviction and then draws a
curtain over that painful
period.
The wallflower started
blossoming when Ms. Kavner
enrolled at San Diego State
University as a drama stu-
dent. She was cast right away
in a major production and her
teachers were perceptive
enough to recognize and nur- al
ture her talent for comedy
and improvisation, though
she also made her mark as 1
the gaunt narcoleptic
Charlotte Corday in the
university's production of
Marat/Sade.
After graduation in 1971,
she honed her acting skills
over the next four years,
mainly in small theaters,
while supporting herself as
receptionist, typist, cocktail
waitress, breakfast cook and
flunky in a sorority house.
She was working as a file
clerk at the UCLA library
when, in best storybook
fashion, she got her big
break.
Through persistence and .
luck, she landed the plum
role of Valerie Harper's kid
sister in the immensely
popular television series,
"Rhoda." During the five
years of the show, Ms. Kavner
developed the character of the
beefy, nasal-voiced and klut-
zy Brenda Morgenstern, who
specialized in droopy bath-
robes and droopy dates, into a
national symbol for shlump-
iness. Brendy became a secret
cult heroine and Kavner
earned one critic's somewhat
dubious compliment as "one
of the few plain-looking peo-
ple with a major and sym-
pathetic role."
After a rare fallow period
