Juli Lynne Charlot (born Shirley Ann Agin; October 26, 1922 – March 3, 2024) was an American singer, actress, and fashion designer.
[1] After graduating from Hollywood High School, she performed with the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera as a singer and also sang with an orchestra directed by Xavier Cugat.
[3] In 1947, at age 25, Charlot was invited to a Christmas party in Los Angeles and planned to create a dress for the event.
[4] A week later, Charlot made two more circle skirts, taking them to a Beverly Hills, California boutique just prior to Christmas 1947.
[3][6] In early 2009, the Izcalli Boutique in Cuernavaca presented an offering of some of the original designs that were still in Charlot's possession.
The trunk show was a huge success and was accompanied by a Juli Lynne Calendar full of photos from her career.
