Subject: Jack Harris, who produced '50s horror movie 'The Blob', dies at 98

Written By: Philip Eno on 03/15/17 at 2:03 am

Jack Harris, who cemented his place in Hollywood history by producing the 1958 horror film “The Blob,” has died. He was 98.

Harris died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills surrounded by family, according to his daughter, Lynda Resnick.

Born in Philadelphia and a vaudeville performer from a young age, Harris was a decorated WWII veteran before getting into the movie business. He worked in marketing, publicity, distribution and production across his long career.

His first film, the B-movie “The Blob,” which starred Steve McQueen in his first leading role, became an enormous hit, grossing more than $3 million on a $110,000 budget and spawning a sequel and a remake.

Geeze.  :\'(  The lovely Aneta Corseaut  :-* was also a star in The Blob. Looks like The Blob eventually thawed out in Antarctica (due to global warming) and claimed his victims.
