Yvonne De Carlo, the actress who played Lily Munster on the 60's television show 'The Munsters', died Monday of natural causes at the Motion Picture & Television Fund's Retirement Home in Los Angeles.
Yvonne was born on September 1, 1922 in British Columbia, Canada. She was born with the name, Margaret Yvonne Middleton. People called her 'Peggy'.
As her mother was giving birth she let it be known that she had wanted a baby girl more than anything. She said her daughter would be a dancer.
Yvonne not only became a dancer, but a singer and actress. But before her rise to stardom she worked in a movie theater ushering people to their seats.
Her father abandoned the family when she was three and her mother struggled to make ends meet. All the while knowing that her daughter would indeed be a somebody one day.
Her mothers wishes came true..and then some.
Rest in peace Yvonne.
