LOS ANGELES - 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.

Say it isn't so!
What a stunning woman she was.
Also Moses' wife in "The Ten Commandments" ... so sad.
Oooops.
The make-up didn't do her justice in the Munsters role.
A pretty lady.

Deeply saddened.
I also enjoyed her in the John Wayne movie "McLintock".
RIP Ms. Decarlo and condolences for her family.
The Goth version of Ginger vs Mary Anne: Lily vs Morticia.
If you get a chance, rent "The Captain's Paradise". Aesome movie and she is MEOW!
