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.”

“Imagine walking down the street and finding yourself gazing at a gigantic, wrinkled face that seems to be holding up the elevated highway above you. And then another, and another.

Since 2008, artist-photographer Raquel Brust has been pasting her enormous images of regular people on the physical structures of Sao Paolo.” Read more about this fascinating project
