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

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective

5.0

I know nothing about horror movies, but I always enjoy forgotten history (especially if it in about women or other marginalized folks) and this was no exception. I was surprised by how much of Milicent's life I had almost heard about - in particular her working on animated movies. I am surprised I never came across her in my teen years when I was trying to learn everything about animation. (But also, it's not that surprising because the lack of women in animation in the early years prevented me from learning about the few who did work at Disney during Milicent's time!) I am so happy that I know her story now :)
