The Munsters Yvonne De Carlo has died
 

Yvonne De Carlo, the beautiful star who played Moses' wife in "The Ten Commandments" but achieved her greatest popularity on TV's slapstick comedy "The Munsters," has died. She was 84.

De Carlo died of natural causes Monday at the Motion Picture & Television facility in suburban Los Angeles, longtime friend and television producer Kevin Burns said Wednesday.

De Carlo, whose shapely figure helped launch her career in B-movie desert adventures and Westerns, rose to more important roles in the 1950s. Later, she had a key role in a landmark Broadway musical, Stephen Sondheim's "Follies."

But for TV viewers, she will always be known as Lily Munster in the 1964-1966 horror-movie spoof "The Munsters." The series (the name allegedly derived from "fun-monsters") offered a gallery of Universal Pictures grotesques, including Dracula and Frankenstein's monster, in a cobwebbed gothic setting.

Raph's Girl note: She died almost a year to the day as Grandpa...He died last Feb. :cry:

Ah, a shame. I always liked her. I love the Munsters. Rest in peace, Yvonne. You'll be missed.

My condolences to her family, fans, and friends.

Well, at least she's with other greats now....


Louis Armstrong...


Steve Irwin....


and don't forget Gerald Ford!

I thought she was already dead. :oops:

So I guess that leaves Eddie as the last surviving Munster, unless Marilyn is still alive.
