  • Born Adele Cracciola, she was sometimes credited under the name Adele Thompson, before settling on her stage name Adele Lamont. Adele was an actress, dancer, and singer who appeared in TV shows, commercials, and Broadway productions. She was most notably featured in the B-movie "The Brain That Wouldn't Die," which has achieved widespread cult legacy.

    She studied under Stella Adler at the Actors Studio in NY and starred opposite Robert Culp in the off-Broadway production of "He Who Gets Slapped."
