THE CAST OF JUD (1971) - WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

After recently watching the film JUD, and witnessing the performances of the actors in the movie, I was struck, and intrigued by the fact that many of the main performers either had a small list of acting credits, or just this film on their resumes. 


This prompted me to compose the following post, which I hope sheds light on these great actors, and what became of them. In saying this, I sincerely hope that they are well, and doing something they love in life, but, as a reviewer, it would have been great to have seen more work from them. I will start with lead actor Joseph Kaufmann. An actor who starred in a handful of films, he was perfect as the introspective, volatile Jud.


Robert Deman was also excellent as the sexually conflicted, photogenic Bill, who had an ingratiating, smooth charm.


Bonnie Bittner was a lovely, sensitive presence as Kathy, the only woman able to become close to Jud.


I also wonder what became of Alix Wyeth, the film's incarnation of a tigress. A woman of many passions and emotions, her Shirley was great to watch, a kind of movie version of daytime drama THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Jill Abbott.
