Millicent Patrick created the Creature from the Black Lagoon. A jealous co-worker, Bud Westmore claimed credit for it.
Press tour "The Beauty Who Created the Beast" was quickly changed by Westmore to "The Beauty Who Lives With the Beast", to avoid citing Patrick as the creator of the Gill-man. When she returned to Los Angeles, Patrick was informed that she no longer worked for Universal Studios"

@reverend Just a guess. I happened to know that story from a book (whose title I can't recall). My quote is from wikipedia.

You see the name of Westmore on many movies of that era.
