One of my icons died today. I realize that Yvonne De Carlo was much more than just Lily Munster, but "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family" are two of the main influences from my youth that set me on the path to Gothdom. Yvonne De Carlo was a beautiful woman, period, but Lily Munster had some great costumes. I know this post may sound a bit superficial - I do not mean for this to be so (I happen to be home sick with a fever, so I am a bit delirious). Yvonne was in the original
Ten Commandments and
Roots and so many more noteworthy projects. Her beauty and spirit will live on in my heart and many others, I'm sure.
