2019 SCIBA Book Award Winner for Biography A Hugo and Locus Award Finalist Winner of the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award The Los Angeles Times Bestseller A Thrillist Best Book of the Year A Book Riot Best Book of 2019 One of Booklist's 10 Best Art Books of the Year 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, 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.Binding Type: Paperback

Love this sponge/soap holder. This is a perfect size to put scrubs, sponges, brushes and soap. Keeps your sink area clean and organized. It’s very sturdy and drains right into your sink. It also stays in place.

Great find
Color: Black
I had something in my sink to hold my washcloth but didn't like how it took up sink space. This was the perfect answers and now I can hang my washcloth on this and it hangs just enough over the sink so the drips stay in the sink. Also enough room for my scrub brush and sponge. Very happy with this purchase.
