As Creature Weeks starts to wrap (tomorrow is the last night) I thought we'd take some time to focus on one of the lovely ladies of the Creature Series.

FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILM LAND'S INTERVIEW WITH JULIE ADAMS




And finally, here's a brief clip of Ms. Adams being escorted out onto stage at Creature From The Black Lagoon: The Musical courtesy of youtube user devincf!



Julie was born and billed early in her career as Betty Adams, before adopting the stage name Julia Adams which she later shortened to Julie. Her film career began with a small, uncredited roll in a 1949 crime comedy entitled: Red, Hot, And Blue.



She would gradute to a starring role for her next movie and make eighteen more pictures (most of them westerns) before landing the role of Kay Lawrence in Creature From The Black Lagoon.


Though all the Gill-Man movies had strong and memorable female leads, Julie is the one who seems to have made the strongest impression on fans. She is still remembered today and her official website actually has a store devoted to Creature merchandise.

She has remained active in film and is still acting today, having appeared most recently as Amelia on Lost.
