Julie Adams, 1926-2019

Julie Adams (l.) and James Stewart in a still from Bend of the River (1952)

Julie Adams, who started her career in Hollywood in th end of the 1940s before doing a whole bunch of TV from the laste 1950s on, died on Sunday at the age of 93. Among her movie roles is as the young lady in Bend of the River, alongside James Stewart and Arthur Kennedy. She had already worked with Kennedy in Bright Victory, which is another movie worth watching.

A lot of the headlines, however, are mentioning her role in Creature from the Black Lagoon, a movie I have to admit is one of my "blind spots", so I can't comment further on it.

In the late 1950s Adams started to work in TV and did a ton of guest star roles. IMDb lists several on Perry Mason and one on The Rifleman; I wonder if MeTV will be running any of those in the near future.
