Juliette Bergmann (born November 30, 1958) is famous a Dutch female bodybuilder.

Early years

She was born in Vlaardingen, Netherlands, from a Dutch mother and an Indonesian father. During her childhood she lost two brothers, causing much grief to her mother, who laid a larger responsibility on Juliette, the oldest child. That period in her life, she believes, made her a disciplined and responsible person.

After finishing school she went on to study financial management, journalism and fitness training. She got married in 1975, but divorced later in 1985.

Bodybuilding career

She began training in 1981, but didn't become a bodybuilder until 1983, after having attended to a female bodybuilding contest where she got a very good impression of the competitors. By the end of that year she would enter her first competition, where she placed first.

In 1984 she won the Dutch National Championship and renewed her title in 1985. Later that same year she qualified for the World Championship, where she obtained first place. By the end of 1985 she competed in her first Ms. Olympia , but did poorly with a 14^th place.

In 2001 she got the first place in the lightweight and overall categories of Ms. Olympia , repeating her success the next year with first place in the lightweight category.
