Julie Held­man was a volatile and gut­sy ten­nis star, twice ranked num­ber 5 in the world. After retir­ing from ten­nis, Julie first turned to broad­cast­ing, and then law school, prac­tic­ing law, and busi­ness. In 1996, at age 50, Julie was diag­nosed with bipo­lar dis­or­der. Four years lat­er, she suf­fered a cat­a­clysmic break­down that last­ed near­ly 15 years.
