CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Star Julie Adams Coming to the Wildey Theater Near St. Louis

She’ll always be best known as Kay Lawrence, the beauty that the Gillman falls in love with the moment he spies her swimming above him in THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954). Mimicking her movements in the water, the Creature performs a lustful underwater mating dance – he’s directly beneath her but she’s unaware of his amorous overtures in the murky depths of the river. It’s a desire most men (and monster kids) could relate to and Julie Adams is the actress who will always be fondly remembered as the ‘girl in the white one-piece’. Now lucky St. Louis movie fans will have the opportunity to meet Ms Adams when she attends a screening of THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON this Thursday, October 17^th at the Wildey Theater in Edwardsville, IL (just outside St. Louis). They’re calling the event ‘Creatures, Cupcakes and Cocktails’ because guests will also have an opportunity to purchase cupcakes and cocktails the night of the screening.

October 17th is Julie Adam’s 87^th Birthday so be sure to wish her the best on her special day. She will be selling and signing copies of her book The Lucky Southern Star: Reflections from the Black Lagoon, which she wrote with her son Mitch Danton.
