Yvonne De Carlo, the 1950s screen beauty who became a household name in the ’60s as Lily Munster on the CBS sitcom The Munsters, died of natural causes Monday at the Motion Picture & Television facility in Woodland Hills, Calif., the Associated Press reports. She was 84.
What kind of pop culture junkie am I? I thought she was long dead!
Maybe I had her mixed up with Carolyn Jones?

I thought she was long-dead, too, Donna, so your pop-culture street cred remains intact.
But I would never, never, never mix her up with the amazing, sexy, wonderful, mysterious Carolyn Jones!
I don’t mean I mistook her for Carolyn Jones– my goodness, that would be blasphemy! I just meant maybe in my mind I knew the mother of a monster family was dead and I just assumed it was Lily as well as Morticia. 🙂
