About the Author
Julie Heldman won 22 women's tennis tournaments, with victories over all the top stars of her era, including Billie Jean King, Margaret Court, Chris Evert, and Martina Navratilova. Julie represented the U.S. on two winning Federation Cup teams and at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, where she won three medals, a gold, a silver, and a bronze. Her highest women's rankings were number two in the U.S. (twice) and number five in the world (twice).
Julie has been inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame, the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame, the Eastern Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Dalton School Hall of Fame.
Julie graduated from Stanford University in 1966. After retiring from competitive tennis in 1975, she worked for several years as a journalist and a tennis commentator on network TV. In 1981, at age 35, she graduated from UCLA Law School with honors and then practiced law for four years.
After law school, Julie married Bernie Weiss, and in 1985, at age 39, Julie joined Bernie's startup eyewear business. Twelve years later, they took the company public.
In 1987, Julie gave birth to their daughter Amy.
In 1996, Julie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Four years later, she suffered a cataclysmic breakdown that lasted 15 years, with only one eight-month respite during 2011-12.
Driven: A Daughter's Odyssey is Julie's first book.
