FROM RON ADAMS AT CREEPY CLASSICS:
I just had a call from Ricou Browning's daughter. He isn't doing very well right now and any hard copy letters or get well cards would be very appreciated.
Ricou played the Creature under water in all three CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON movies.
Please cheer him up with a card or letter addressed to:
Ricou Browning
5221 SW 196 Lane
Southwest Ranches,
FL 33332
I am writing my letter now. Let's let him know how much we appreciate his contribution to our monster kid upbringing if we can.
I'll fire one off too. Long before even knowing his name I followed shows in which he was involved, especially "Flipper" and "Sea Hunt".
He has been an inspiration to me! I'll write him immediately!

Thank you for posting this, Anton
Ricou is 91.
He's really put himself out for conventions and the like for fans. Hope they take the time to return the effort for him, now that he is feeling poorly.
He is owed some payback.
Sent a card today. He was always so nice and soft spoken when I met him at Monster Bash. I wish him the best and to a quick recovery.

It's a little awkward sending multiple Get Well cards to someone who is ill...
But, how about sending a nice Holiday card to Ricou to remind him that you are still keeping him in your thoughts?
I think he might appreciate that. I heard from a source near him that he has been heartened by the many get well wishes from his fans.
Does anyone have an update on his health?
Yes, yes. How is Mr. Browning ?
