I received the following email yesterday.  I'm sharing it below in the extremely slim hope that someone knows how to find Julie Gibson:

Quote
I am the Institutional Historian for Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho --- the hometown of Camille Sorey, who was professionally known as Julie Gibson.

Several sources show that she is still alive and soon to celebrate her 105th birthday. She is reportedly the oldest film celebrity in the world.

As you are aware, she appeared in two (2) features with the Stooges.

I have attached her senior portrait at Lewiston High School, 1931.
.
As she is also an alumna of Lewis-Clark State,  I want to contact her.

Can you assist me?

I know Jim Pauley wrote an article, "Lunch with Julie Gibson" in the Summer 2004 issue of the Three Stooges Journal (#110), but for some reason I don't have any issues from that year in my collection, so I can't check to see if there was any reference to where she was living back then. 

If anyone has a clue, please let me know right away.  The Lewiston Tribune is planning on doing a front-page article on Julie Gibson on Sept. 6th, her 105th birthday.

The Journal article identifies her as living in Los Angeles.  WhitePages.com currently identifies her address and phone number as shown below, and it also identifies her association with Charles Barton and her age as being 104.  I can't vouch for the accuracy of this information, as it may be obsolete at this point in time, but it's probably worth giving the phone number a try.  Last I heard, Ms. Gibson was having age-related problems, but that shouldn't be a surprise.  Maybe a caregiver would answer the phone and provide additional information on Ms. Gibson.

314 N. Clybourn Ave
Burbank, CA 91505
(818) 841-7785

Note that the WhitePages.com listing is for Julie C. Barton.  I'm guessing the middle initial of "C" may refer to her birth name of Camille.

Thanks, Hiram!  I just passed that information along to the author.   :)

I don't think Mr. Branting managed to get in touch of Julie Gibson (the phone number hiramhorwitz found was disconnected), but he gave her a nice write up for her 105th birthday:

Commentary: Former Roundup queen made her mark in Hollywood
Julie Gibson, nee Camille Sorey, graduated from Lewiston High School in 1931; the celebrity is now 105 years old

Not a complete surprise that the phone number is no longer in service.  Thanks for the followup, D-R.
