Happy Birthday, Julie Adams

October 17th is Julie Adams' birthday.
She was born in Waterloo, Iowa. She
struggled as a secretary, trying to
make it in Hollywood. She found work
at Universal Pictures. I'm not even
going to mention the title of the movie
that made her famous, because she wanted
to be taken seriously for her other work.
(Sort of like Fay Wray and that ape guy.)
She is also sometimes called "Julia Adams."

"No matter what you do, you can act your
heart out, but people will always say,
'Oh, Julie Adams - Cre*ture from the
Black Lag00n.'"

Happy birthday, Julie.

Lucky Capri

So I'm watching the final episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season Three, right? We've talked about what fun Alfred Hitchcock Presents is before. And I see Julie Adams (sometimes called "Julia") strutting around in a sort of V-neck lamé Capri pantsuit sort of outfit, which in real life color I imagine is probably a shiny green lamé and black thing. This episode is called Little White Frock, but Julie Adams isn't wearing a frock. And she's not actually "strutting." She just has a really nice walk. Anyway, so I flashblack to an earlier episode from the same season, one called The Disappearing Trick, with Betsy Von Furstenberg. And I rewind, and I find that, sure enough, Betsy's wearing the same outfit. The costume designer added a sash belt and some kind of cameo or broach to the V-neck for Julie Adams, but otherwise it's the same outfit. And Betsy Von Furstenberg has a great walk, too. So I'm thinking. . .
What a thrifty costume designer!
What a lovely couple of struts!
What a LUCKY pair of pants!
