   Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   ) cdaley | Nov 2, 2023 |  ) spinsterrevival | Nov 4, 2022 | I'm not, to be clear, talking about generalizations about sexism and sexual harassment in Hollywood. I'm certain that part is true. But much of the analysis of Patrick's motivations seem to be drawn from O'Meara's personal experience rather than any evidence, barring documents and letters that she didn't directly mention in the text. Shorter version, this needed a lot of footnotes to make the assertions that it does. That said, worth reading if you have an interest in Hollywood of years gone by, or want to read about the story of Millicent Patrick, who was unjustly denied credit for her achievements for many years. (  ) danieljensen | Oct 14, 2022 | ) thornton37814 | Sep 11, 2022 | Author O’Meara writes passionately about her subject, but the telling suffers from O’Meara’s inexperience as a researcher. (O’Meara worked as a veterinary technician before changing careers to film production.) She relied mainly on interviews to gather information. Occasionally someone would steer her toward archival material, but she admits to spending only a few hours in libraries and archives. Since O’Meara is challenging the historical narrative, she should have supplied source notes to back up her claims. (There is a bibliography, and there are endnotes, but the endnotes are commentary, not source notes.) Several times she mentioned that she was unable to find information about some of the people who surrounded Patrick. I was able to quickly find information about several of these individuals using sources O’Meara said she had used - Ancestry.com, Newspapers.com, and FamilySearch. ) cbl_tn | Sep 10, 2022 |
 The Creature from the Black Lagoon has reemerged from the deep, deep waters of history.  [starred review] Patrick was a footnote long lost to film history, but O’Meara has decided to change all that with her fascinating biography. Patrick died in 1998, at age 82, largely forgotten except for a coterie of devoted fans. O’Meara has seen to it that she won’t be forgotten again. Her book is a fierce and often very funny guide to the distaff side of geekdom and reproduces photos and examples of Patrick’s work, many previously unpublished. That alone would be worth the price of admission to the world of this complex, brilliant artist. In this captivating and exhaustively researched biography, screenwriter and producer O’Meara chronicles the largely unknown story of artist and actress Milicent Patrick, designer of the monster in the 1954 film Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The Lady from the Black Lagoon uncovers the life and work of Milicent Patrick-one of Disney's first female animators and the only woman in history to create one of Hollywood's classic movie monsters. As a teenager, Mallory O'Meara was thrilled to discover that one of her favorite movies, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, featured a monster designed by a woman, Milicent Patrick. But for someone who should have been hailed as a pioneer in the genre, there was little information available. For, as O'Meara soon discovered, Patrick's contribution had been claimed by a jealous male colleague, her career had been cut short and she soon after had disappeared from film history. No one even knew if she was still alive. As a young woman working in the horror film industry, O'Meara set out to right the wrong, and in the process discovered the full, fascinating story of an ambitious, artistic woman ahead of her time. Patrick's contribution to special effects proved to be just the latest chapter in a remarkable, unconventional life, from her youth growing up in the shadow of Hearst Castle, to her career as one of Disney's first female animators. And at last, O'Meara discovered what really had happened to Patrick after The Creature's success, and where she went. A true-life detective story and a celebration of a forgotten feminist trailblazer, Mallory O'Meara's The Lady from the Black Lagoon establishes Patrick in her rightful place in film history while calling out a Hollywood culture where little has changed since.
