She was born Betty May Adams in Waterloo, Iowa, but grew up in Little Rock, AR, where she began acting in elementary school. She left in 1946, after being crowned Miss Little Rock, to live with an aunt in Hollywood, CA, where she studied dramatics and worked part time as a secretary. Her first movie role was a small, uncredited appearance as a starlet in Paramount’s Red, Hot and Blue (1949). Next came a series of low-budget westerns for Lippert Studios, billed as Betty Adams. In 1951, she was signed to a contract with Universal Studios, where her first name was changed to Julia and, in 1955, to Julie. Around this time, Universal made a publicity splash by insuring her legs. In 1954, still billed as Julia, she was cast in the role for which she is often remembered, as Kay Lawrence in the 3-D thriller, Creature from the Black Lagoon. Her role was described as “not only lovely, but an intelligent researcher who is both feminine and strong-willed.” Other notable movies include the film noir Slaughter on Tenth Avenue (1957), Tickle Me (1965) with Elvis Presley, and the TV movie Go Ask Alice (1973). She was cast in a leading role as Jimmy Stewart’s wife on The Jimmy Stewart Show, in 1971. From 1987 to 1993, she had a recurring role as flirtatious real estate agent Eve Simpson on the popular TV mystery series Murder, She Wrote. In 2011, she published her autobiography, The Lucky Southern Star: Reflections from the Black Lagoon. Julie died on February 3, 2019, in Los Angeles. She was 92 years old. #grave #cemetery #mausoleum #graves #cemeteries #cemeterylovers #cemeterywandering #cemeterybeauty #cemetery_shots #cemetery_nation #cemeteryexplorer #cemeteryexplorers #famous #famouspeople #famousgraves #famousgrave #graveyard #gravephotographer #gravestone #gravestones #taphophile #taphophilia #celebritygraves #julieadams #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #universal #universalmonsters”. julie.
