Juli Reding Hutner, of Los Angeles, CA, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Springfield, MO, on September 16, 2021.
One of seven children, Juli was born in Quanah, TX, to Roy and Ruth (Wallace) Reding.
Juli “Chick” was raised in Branson, MO, graduated from Branson High School and attended Southwest Missouri State University before moving to Los Angeles, CA, to pursue her passion of acting. Juli had a successful career in Hollywood and, among her honors, was named “Ms. Los Angeles Press Club” of 1960, the “Mermaid of Marineland”, “Ms. Los Angeles Dodger”, “Ms. Hollywood Stars” for the Christmas Lane Parade, and “Ms. U.S. Air Force”. Juli was also signed to a Warner Bros Studios’ contract. Her TV credits include guest roles in “Sea Hunt”, “Burke’s Law”, “Dr. Kildaire”, “The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet”, “The Red Skelton Show”, “Big Valley” and “Murder She Wrote”, among others. Juli also had her own local talk show in Los Angeles called “Here’s Juli” which ran on KCOP, Channel 13. Her film career included starring roles in “Tormented”, “Mission In Morocco”, and she also appeared in the films “Why Must I Die”, “Cowboy”, “Darby’s Rangers”, and “The Helen Morgan Story”.
In the 1960’s Juli met the love of her life, investment banker and philanthropist Herbert L. Hutner, whom she married in 1969. Juli and Herb had a wonderful life together, travelling the world and donating their time to the many causes and charities they supported. Juli was a genuine person who never lost her mid-western warmth and charm. She could truly walk among both princes and paupers, yet would make everyone feel special and loved. Juli wanted to help everyone, befriend everyone, and invite everyone to dinner! She really did liven up the room with her presence and people loved being around her.
Juli was preceded in death by parents Ruth and Roy Reding; her husband Herbert L. Hutner; her former husband Reese H. Taylor, Jr.; her son Aaron Curtis Taylor; and her siblings Virginia Gray, Helen Workman, Billie Beckman, Edward Reding, and Jack Reding. She is survived by her son Christopher D. Taylor (Kyle), and the “apple-of-her-eye”, her grandson, Christopher H. Taylor. Juli is also survived by her sister Judy Siebert (Jack); her stepchildren Lynn Colwell (Steve) and Jeffrey J. Hutner (Jamie); and numerous nieces and nephews.
No formal services will be held, but the family will host a celebration of Juli’s life for her Springfield/Branson friends and family at the home of Kyle and Chris Taylor on Saturday, October 2nd open from 3pm – 6pm.
