Saturday, 4/19 at 8 AM PT: Host John Semper Jr. talks with Julie Adams
JULIE ADAMS – Actress: Fans of the horror film “Creature from the Black Lagoon” tend to believe that Julie Adams became a leading lady on the strength of her role in it as the imperiled — and fetchingly underclad — heroine. In fact, she has been cast in many leading film roles, notably in “Bend in the River,” “The Private War of Major Benson,” “Mississippi Gambler,” “Bright Victory,” and “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, ” among others. She’s worked opposite Jimmy Stewart, Tyrone Power, Arthur Kennedy, Rock Hudson, Charlton Heston, Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Glen Ford, and Van Heflin. She’s also made guest appearances in over one hundred television shows, from “The Andy Griffith Show” to “Marcus Welby, M.D.” to, more recently, “Lost” and “Cold Case.”
If you were a fanof “Murder, She Wrote,” you would have seen her often as real estate agent Eve Simpson. Julie and her oldest son, Mitchell Danton, have written her autobiography entitled, Lucky Southern Star: Reflections from the Black Lagoon. Learn more about her extensive career at her website. Julie Adams and Mitch Danton talk with host John Semper Jr. in this, Part One of a two-part interview. Part Two will air in May.
