Julie Nicole Miranda James is the main protagonist in the novel I Know What You Did Last Summer as well as it’s film adaptation of the same name and its sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
She is portrayed by Jennifer Love Hewitt, who later played Dr. Liz Wilson in Garfield the Movie, Madellaine in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, Thumbelina in The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina, Melinda Gordon in Ghost Whisperer and Maddie Buckley in 9-1-1.
Movie
She was the only one who disagreed with dumping Ben's body and felt the guiltiest about the accident. She is Ben Willis' main target, whom he stalked, and sent the first letter that started the events.
She survives the events of the first film. In the second film, Ben had set up her, Karla and Tyrell, with the help of his son, Will. She again survives Ben's attack and kills him by shooting him many times.
She and Ray got married a year after the Bahamas attack. In the end of the second film, she is hooked by Ben Willis (who is under the bed) and dragged under the bed. As to whether or not this truly happened or if it was simply another nightmare of Julie's remains unclear.
It's revealed in the next film that Willis came back from the grave as an undead being, and that is how he is able to come back for Julie after being shot.
It is unknown if she was killed or survived. In the film I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, there is an article stating that four teens were murdered at the Bahamas, possibly referring to Julie, Ray, Ty, and Karla. However, it should be noted that none of the victims were mentioned by name, so it is possible they all survived.
Book
In the novel, Julie was a fun-loving cheerleader prior to the accident. Of all the teens involved, she feels the guiltiest, and has always regretted not going back to help the victim of their hit-and-run, a child named Daniel Gregg, as opposed to the fisherman in the film.
After the accident, she breaks up with Ray, quits cheerleading and devotes herself to studying hard, in the hopes of both forgetting the horror of the accident, and being accepted to an out of state university to escape the tragedy.
In the first chapter of the novel, she receives correspondence that she has been accepted to Smith University.
She lives with her widowed mother and dates a man named Bud Wilson, later revealed to be the elder half-brother of Daniel Gregg. After Bud reveals his identity, he tries to strangle her. Julie survives after Ray knocks Bud out.
