Webb was best known for his role as Sgt. Joe Friday in the TV series “Dragnet.” However, their marriage didn’t last long and they divorced in 1954.

After her divorce from Jack Webb, Julie London went on to marry composer and arranger Bobby Troup in 1959. Troup had written the hit song “Route 66,” which became a popular TV show of the same name. Their marriage lasted until Troup’s death in 1999.

But before marrying Troup, Julie London had a brief marriage to jazz musician and drummer, John Gray. Their marriage lasted only from 1957 to 1958 before they divorced.

Despite being married three times, it was clear that Bobby Troup was the love of Julie London’s life. They met while working on a movie called “Emergency!”

and hit it off immediately. They were married soon after and remained devoted to each other until Troup’s death due to heart failure.

Julie London herself passed away on October 18, 2000, at the age of 74 due to complications from a stroke.

In conclusion, Julie London married three times in her life – first to Jack Webb, then John Gray, and finally Bobby Troup. However, it was clear that Troup was the love of her life as their marriage lasted until his death in 1999. Despite her personal life being turbulent at times, Julie London’s music and talent will always be remembered and celebrated.
