She won the Tony for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play in 2007. Her television career gained recognition in 1993 as a cast member of the comedy series Grace Under Fire. The series debuted as the highest-rated new comedy of the season, but fell prey to behind-the-scenes conflicts amongst the production staff. Following recurring roles in Six Feet Under and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, she took her next regular role in the comedy series Cavemen. Her role as Leslie McKinney, the mother of Kate (Kaitlyn Doubleday), was short-lived, however, as the writers’ strike put the show on hiatus; it was subsequently canceled before the conflict was resolved. White also appeared in several films, including Flypaper, Say It Isn’t So, Sunday on the Rocks, War of the Worlds, and Transformers. In 2008, she was cast in the follow-up to the blockbuster action hit called Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In 2012, Julie White joined the cast of the NBC comedy series Go On, starring Matthew Perry (of the long-running sitcom Friends).
