YVONNE DE CARLO, LILY MUNSTER, DEAD AT 84
Actress Yvonne De Carlo, who went from World War II pinup girl
to U.S. television's beloved Lily Munster, has died at 84 in
Los Angeles. Family members said De Carlo died Monday at the
Motion Picture and Television Country House from complications
of old age, the Los Angeles Times said Wednesday. The sultry
Canadian-born De Carlo made her name as a film "glamour queen"
during the 1940s and '50s, but was considered an accomplished
actress after appearing in some 100 films, including the epic
"The Ten Commandments" and "Band of Angels." The Times said
she was also a singer who performed opera and appeared in
nightclubs and on stage. Her most familiar role was that of
Lily, the vampirish wife of Fred Gwynne's Herman Munster on
the 1960s television series "The Munsters." The CBS series
lasted only two season, but inspired several TV movies and
lives on in reruns.
