R.I.P. Julie "Creature From The Black Lagoon" Adams
Julie Adams, Damsel in Distress in 'Creature From the Black Lagoon,' Dies at 92
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/julie-adams-dead-creature-black-lagoon-actress-was-92-1047543
A leading lady at Universal in the 1950s, she had memorable stints on 'Perry Mason' and 'Murder, She Wrote' and played Jimmy Stewart's wife on TV.
Julie Adams, the comely brunette with the cascading curls best remembered as the damsel in distress in the 1954 horror classic Creature From the Black Lagoon, has died. She was 92.
Adams died early Sunday morning in Los Angeles, her son Mitchell Danton, a TV editor, told The Hollywood Reporter.
In more than six decades in film and on television, Adams also starred with Donald O'Connor in Francis Joins the WACS (1954), played opposite Elvis Presley in Tickle Me (1965) and appeared with Dennis Hopper in The Last Movie (1971) and with John Wayne in McQ (1974).
Fans of Murder, She Wrote know Adams for playing the eccentric realtor Eve Simpson on the long-running Angela Lansbury starrer, and in the early 1970s, she portrayed Jimmy Stewart's wife in the legendary actor's first foray into starring on his own series.

I've often been tempted to buy it.
I've seen it once in 3D...on "Creature Features," decades ago. They sold the 3-D glasses at 7-11.
...the family has asked for memorial donations to charities The Nature Conservancy or the World Wildlife Fund.
In her Horror Society interview, Adams gave one reason why she thought Creature from the Black Lagoon's reputation has endured.
"I think the best thing about the picture is that we do feel for the creature. We feel for him and his predicament," she said.
