My condolences to the family of Julie Adams. I am saddened by the news of her passing and I feel like I have lost a neighbor(she did own 40 acres of land in Newton County, near where I live. She enjoyed taking her grandchildren hiking there).
Julie, a native of Arkansas, has been a favorite actress of mine ever since I first saw her in THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON(1955), when I was a youngster. I realize that she will be most remembered for her memorable role in CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON(1954) and rightly so. She was very beloved by her fans and she so appreciated them. Her role in this Classic Movie has made her an icon to monster movie fans, although, I think her steadiest genre was the Western and she was so good in them. That said, I think she was good in any genre that she appeared in.
Julie Adams had much talent, beauty, determination, and graciousness. She was a true Southern Star.
