In lieu of this week’s Monstrous Monday post, I bid a sad farewell to the star of one of Steven’s and my favorite monster movies, Creature of the Black Lagoon (1954). Julie Adams passed away Sunday, Feb. 3, at age 92. I followed Official Julie Adams Facebook page, and I loved how gracious she was. She appeared in many movies and television shows, but she was reportedly delighted that she was best known for Creature.
She was still lovely.
I don’t know how recently she was making personal appearances, but I did wish I could make it to one.
You could not blame the Creature for being enamored.
I did not really know Julie Adams for anything other than Creature and her Facebook page, so I cannot do a real biography. I guess I can’t say much besides I was a fan, and I’m sad she’s gone.
It’s nice to see when antagonistic co-stars are friends off-screen.
I noticed on the Facebook page that she and her son, Mitchell Danton, published the book, Lucky Southern Star: Reflections from the Black Lagoon. I’ll have to look for a copy.
I guess I’ll close with a picture of her co-star. Steven and I will no doubt watch the movie again soon, in memory.

I loved that movie. She was of the elegant beautiful star era. (Her book sounds interesting)
It’s one of our favorite movies, and she sure was beautiful!
The Hollywood star system then produced such glamour girls
Indeed. I love the glamour of the old-time movie stars!
