The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick by Mallory O'Meara

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

This book is fascinating. What a life to lead in the 1950s. I am not a horror fan, I’ve never even seen the creature from the black lagoon, but this woman’s life was really interesting. It would be higher than a 4 but it was a really slow start. She goes into depth about her parents and it’s not really necessary to the story in terms of how much detail there is. But the research she did and what she uncovered was fascinating. I recommend for anyone who loves horror movies and learning about behind the scenes of movies way back when.
