Yvonne De Carlo was a Canadian–American actress born on 1st September 1922 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
De Carlo’s career began in the early 1940s when she moved to Los Angeles and signed a contract with Paramount Pictures. Her first major film role was as Anna-Marie St. Clair in Salome Where She Danced. While the film was a critical disaster for producer Walter Wanger, it was a success for De Carlo and she signed a five-year contract with Universal Pictures.
Throughout the late ’40s and early ’50s, De Carlo continued to act in films such as Brute Force, Criss Cross, and The Ten Commandments.
However, it wasn’t until she landed her iconic role as Lily Munster on the TV sitcom The Munsters that she became a household name.
