The picture originally included with this page was that of "Downtown" Julie Brown, not the "Uptown" Julie Brown of the text. They are two different women, namely "Downtown" is African-American whereas "Uptown" is Caucasian.

I've read somewhere of Julie Brown (the "uptown" or "white" one) has Mexican or Spanish ancestry. It's typical for some old-timers in the Los Angeles area (I mean Anglos whose families gone back over a century) to have Hispanic roots, even though aren't culturally Mexican (Californio, but properly called Mexican-Americans). I don't find it anywhere on wikipedia, but I'm asking anyone can verify it...or it's a stupid rumor? San Fernando natives like Ritchie Valens and Paula Abdul are considered Latino, but I read Paula Abdul isn't really Mexican (why she's popular with Chicanos like J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez) and Selena in their community)?, but Ritchie Valens was and his song "La Bamba" shows his Mexican heritage. Julie Brown is just a (stereo) typical valley girl (West Coast style), with a regional personality similar to the Brooklynese, the New Englanders, the Southerners and the Northerners in movies, television and music. Julie Brown introduced the character of what a Californian is, the same way the Fargo movie depicts North Dakota and Jeff Foxworthy's deep-south "redneck" humor. + 207.200.116.133 16:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
