“`Julie Adams was a lovely ingénue whose image graced 1950s cinema. She is best known for performances in The Creature From the Black Lagoon and Bend in the River. JULIE ADAMS / THE CREATURE –>
“`In 1946, at the age of nineteen, Adams was crowned as Miss Little Rock (while she lived in Arkansas), and then moved to Hollywood to pursue her acting career. She was reliable in Westerns while at Universal Pictures. Her film credits include Bright Leaf, The Mississippi Gambler and The Man From the Alamo.
“`Her transition to television was seamless. Adams guest-starred in 77 Sunset Strip, The Rifleman, Cheyenne, Maverick, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Andy Griffith Show, Perry Mason, Dr Kildare, Bonanza, The Virginian, Ironside, Night Gallery, The Mod Squad, The Big Valley, Marcus Welby M. D., Murder She Wrote, The Streets of San Francisco, Medical Center, Ellery Queen, Cannon, Quincy M E, Mannix, The F. B. I., Police Woman, and Diagnosis: Murder.
“`Later in life, she was honored for her work in sagebrush cinema, and for her appearance in one of the great horror classics. I recently had the pleasure of meeting her at a book-signing event at the Hollywood Heritage Museum. It was a real treat.
“`Julie Adams was ninety-two.
