Sobre Lee Meredith

Lee Meredith, originally named Judith Lee Sauls, entered the world in River Edge, New Jersey, and spent her formative years in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. At the age of 15, she became a member of the Manhattan Rockets precision dance team. After finishing high school, she ventured into modeling while also honing her craft at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Since 1969, she has been married to film producer Bert Stratford, and the couple shares two children. Meredith is perhaps most recognized for her portrayal of Ulla, the Swedish secretary, in the original 1967 film adaptation of The Producers. In 2002, she contributed to the 35th-anniversary DVD of The Producers, where she participated in an interview and revisited her iconic dance from the original movie. In 1972, she played a nurse in a sketch from the original Broadway production of The Sunshine Boys and reprised her role in the film version released in 1975, featuring legendary actors Walter Matthau and George Burns. The following year, Meredith was seen as the romantic interest of Reginald Van Gleason in the inaugural Jackie Gleason comeback special aired on CBS. In 1975, she had a brief stint on the Match Game 75 series. During the 1980s, she appeared alongside author Mickey Spillane in a series of commercials for Miller Lite beer.
