| Born : 25 July, 1929 : Hollywood, California |
| Parents : Albert Victor Adamson Jr. was the son of Polish-descended actress Delores Booth and New Zealander Albert Sr. - better known as Denver Dixon, lead actor and occasional director of a string of formulaic low-budget westerns in the 1920s and 30s. |
| Married : Regina Carroll, born 1943 in Boston. |
| Children : None. |
| Died : 2 August, 1995. Adamson died badly, famously. Murdered in 1995 by a construction contractor living in his home while remodeling it (and, grotesquely, entombed by the perpetrator in the structure supporting a new jacuzzi; he went undiscovered for many weeks), this unfortunately remains the filmmaker's most wide-reaching claim to mass recognition. |
