Lily Munster Passes

[voilodian ghagnasdiak]

Yvonne Decarlo passed away Monday at the age of 84. I was infatuated with her beauty at a young age...especially her portrayal of the voluptuous vampiress Lily Munster.



She had everything a boy could ask for..raving beauty, a knockout figure, and mostly of all, she was undead. I used to sit and wait hour upon hour for the Munsters to air on tv. She acted in a great number of other movies including quite a few "dusters" (westerns) but I'll always remember her as my Lily.

Yes, I will miss her,she was really good.

I loved her in those lush pirate movies she seemed to inhabit in the 40s and 50s.

I liked her a lot.
At least "Lily" won't feel totally displaced in her graveyard.

She really was a beautiful woman. I also prefer to think of her for her pre-Munster costume epics, which she became stereotyped for. With good reason though, she looked great in armbands and slit skirts.

And she was Canadian too

I don't mean to be irreverent, but wouldn't have been ironic if she had chosen to be buried in a manner similiar to Bela Lugosi? http://www.multiverse.org/fora/showthread.php?t=3830

She was one of Linda's faves when she (Linda) was a little girl. I haven't told her yet...

Why is there a mystique about the actresses of yesteryear that the divas of today lack? Give me Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, Linda Darnell, Gene Tierney or Veronica Lake anyday. No matter how they ended up in their later years, we always remember them for their simmering screen presence.

So true KG...Vivian Leigh, Jane Russell, Bette Davis...the list is endless.



But by gads Yvonne was beautiful. Those eyes, those lips, those legs...cringe.

Er...I'm assuming we're sure she is dead...
