Just heard this on my local news but I can't find anything about it online except here. Yvonne De Carlo, probably most famous for her role as Lily on the comedy-horror series The Munsters, died at the age of 84.
That's the way TV fans will remember her, but she had quite a body of work in film as well, including roles in The Ten Commandments, The Desert Hawk, The Power, and Satan's Cheerleaders (great title!). She also starred in tons of TV shows, including Roots, Fantasy Island, Burke's Law, Murder, She Wrote, Dream On, Tales From The Crypt, The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., The Name of the Game, and The Virginian.
Her last role (besides a documentary a few years ago) was in the TV movie The Barefoot Executive.
Sarah's up to her neck in... whatever she's doing
that gets as deep as her neck. To be honest with you, I don't really know, but when she asked the Squadders for a hand
in reviewing this week's Grey's Anatomy, I happily volunteered. So you have me this week instead of Sarah. I
apologize in advance.
Not sure if younger readers will remember Tony Franciosa. Not only was it several decades ago
that he was a star, he really hadn't done anything in recent years, except for an appearance on Larry King
Live in 2001, a documentary last year, and the movie City Hall 10 years ago. But he was in
everything in the 60s and 70s. His many roles include The Name of the Game (a private eye show I
really liked when I was a kid), Matt Helm (the series, not the Dean Martin flicks), Search
(another show I loved as a kid), Finder of Lost Loves, as well the movies The Long
Hot Summer, Death Wish II, The Drowning Pool, Earth II, Assault on a
Queen, A Hatful of Rain, and A Face in the Crowd.
