Shapely and just a bit feisty (for a woman of the time) Kay Lawrence uses her good looks and tight body to temp not only the Creature from the Black Lagoon, but to pit her boyfriend David against his jealous rival Mark. While there are those who maintain that her presence on board the Rita as it travels up the Amazon and deep into the Black Lagoon, some would disagree. This portion of the audience enjoys the sex appeal Kay exudes and the tension she creates as she bounces from one man to the other and then into the clutches of the Creature itself.
