BONUS | Milicent Patrick with Mallory O'Meara | Who Is She? A Bechdel Test Fest Podcast

In this special bonus episode, Bechdel Steph talks to podcaster and author Mallory O'Meara about her book on the legacy of makeup artist Milicent Patrick, who designed the Creature from the 1954 horror classic, Creature From The Black Lagoon. Milicent was often uncredited for her work and not taken as seriously as her male colleagues, and Mallory's biography of her life and career is a fascinating exploration of how one woman navigated the male-dominated film industry in the mid-20th century. Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady From The Black Lagoon, is available in UK book shops now. Who Is She? A Bechdel Test Fest Podcast is a Bechdel Test Fest production. It was written and hosted by Beth Webb and produced by Stephanie Watts, with additional support from Corrina Antrobus and Caitlin Quinlan. Our music was written and produced by Zoe Mead, check out her band Wyldest on all major streaming platforms. Make Up clips were courtesy of Picturehouse Entertainment.
