Julie Bowen | Modern Family

Like many aspiring celebrities, Julie Bowen took acting classes before making her way into the entertainment industry. Her earlier stints in the business were for shows such as Class of ’96, Runaway Daughters, Loving, and movies like An American Werewolf in Paris, Multiplicity, and Happy Gilmore.

Along the way, she also worked on other titles, including the medical drama ER and the legal comedy-drama Boston Legal, where she portrayed attorney Denise Bauer. Among her many on-screen appearances, however, Julie is most known for her role as Claire Dunphy on the sitcom Modern Family. Throughout her time on the show, spanning from 2009 to 2020, the actress won six Primetime Emmy Awards back-to-back, winning two of them. Besides the show, she’s also appeared in Jumping the Broom, Horrible Bosses, and Hubie Halloween. With the actress still set to appear in the upcoming comedy film, Mixtape, it’s safe to say fans will still see more of Julie in the coming years.
