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.

She was so beautiful in her youth. Even as Lily with that skunk streak she was a gorgeous woman, much more interesting than the two blond "Marilyns"

Now I'll be stuck with that MUNSTERS THEME as an earworm all night.

I had just heard about this! How sad. I love/ed the Munsters.

...and Brandeis....the skun streak...priceless

She was so beautiful and a great actress. May God bless her family and friends during this sad time of loss.
