Judith Parker Harris, the president and CEO of Worldwide Entertainment Corporation, who held the rights to the horror classic “The Blob,” passed away on March 31st in Los Angeles. She was 74 years old.
Harris passed away following a prolonged struggle against a persistent health issue. Her obituary portrays her as a highly esteemed and respected individual who skillfully maneuvered through the intricate landscape of the entertainment industry with great intellect and unyielding honesty. At the time of her passing, Harris was deeply engaged in devising innovative new projects.
At WEC, where Harris worked for a production and distribution company known for the 1958 sci-fi film “The Blob”, she looked after a collection of over 30 feature films. These movies included “Equinox,” “4D Man,” “The Astro-Zombies,” “Paradisio” and “Kill the Shogun.” Harris played a crucial role in developing multiple remakes of “The Blob”, and worked with her husband, Jack H. Harris (also a producer of “The Blob”), on the 1988 remake directed by Chuck Russell. This remake was distributed by Tri-Star. She collaborated once more with her husband for the 1991 film “Blobermouth”, a comical reinterpretation of “The Blob”.
To start off, Harris found her professional footing in the realm of commercial production. Over the years, she created more than three thousand advertisements for esteemed clients such as Shell Oil and Sears. Following her relocation from Sacramento to Los Angeles, she established a thriving ad agency that eventually amassed millions in revenue.
Throughout her illustrious career, Harris garnered numerous accolades such as the Crystal Award from Women In Film, the prestigious Clio Award in advertising, and multiple Healthcare Marketing Report Awards. Moreover, she was an inaugural member of GreenLight Women, a pioneering group dedicated to fostering diverse viewpoints within media, particularly among women over 40.
Harris is survived by Barbara Parker, her sister-in-law. Jack H. Harris died in 2017.
