Julianne marks her birth anniversary every 6th of May as she was born on that date in 1960. If you check her records, you will find that her place of birth was in Chicago, Illinois. Whilst the star was born in Chicago, it was in Oregon’s city, Lake Oswego that she was raised alongside her five siblings; among them, she’s the last.

You will equally find that Julianne’s parents, William and Ann Phillips brought up their kids in the Catholic faith. This is probably why they were reluctant to support their last child’s desire to forge a career in the modelling industry.

Little Julianne who would later pursue her dream career was a student at Lake Oswego High School. She attended Brooks College when she was done with the high school.

Although the way Julianne’s marriage to the legendary rock star ended was unfortunate, it greatly increased her wealth. The rock star handed her $20 million as compensation. For this reason, you will find the Julianne-Bruce marriage which lasted for only four years been listed on several platforms as one of the most expensive celebrity divorce settlements the world has ever seen.
