As a teenager, Mallory O’Meara was thrilled to discover that one of her favorite movies, 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. As a young woman working in the horror film industry, O’Meara set out to right the wrong, penning The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick, the first book about one of Disney’s first female animators and the only woman in history to create one of Hollywood’s classic movie monsters.
