Above, Julie Adams and yours truly at the 2009 Monsterpalooza. |
Some sad news has been posted over on Facebook.
The first comes from Laura Wagner:
R.I.P., JULIE ADAMS, 92, a wonderful, underappreciated actress. I've always liked her so much, especially her TV work, and I was lucky to have been in contact with her. No date of death or details yet, but this news comes from her CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) co-star/friend Ricou Browning.
And, from Don Glut:
More bad news... I'm so glad I got to see Julie every few months for the past couple years, as we were both regular guests at the San Fernando Valley Comic Book Convention in Granada Hills. I always told her that I enjoyed her in a movie I'd just seen on TCM -- and she seemed delighted when it was something other that CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, like MAN FROM THE ALAMO.
Above, the autographed photo by Julie Adams I got from her in 2009. |
I first met Julie Adams at Monsterpalooza in 2009 in Burbank. I received the autographed photo from her and a photo with her at that show. I had seen her at subsequent shows and we always greeted each other. She was definitely "tickled pink" in 2009 when I looked at the photo and then her and said, "You haven't changed!" She was a very sweet lady that fans will sorely miss seeing at future conventions. At least she had the blessing of having a long and active life.
Her last post in her Facebook page on January 1, 2019:
Happy New Year from Julie Adams! I wish blessings to my friends and family this year and through the years. Thank you for being so wonderful. I hope 2019 brings joy and happiness to you and yours! Much love -- Julie
