RIP Yvone DeCarlo (Lily Munster)

Haven't seen this one the wires yet, but it is mentioned here:

RIP ... only Pat Priest (assuming she's still alive) and the kid who played Eddie Munster (and who turned out to be a strange guy) are left.

 

Geez, I just did a Google Image search for her and the first picture that comes up is a topless one.

 

classic true story:

about a year ago, my family is at a bar mitzvah. the parents are not particularly attractive folks. some might say they are ghastly. well, we learn that his very hot, blond, leggy, mini-skirted young lady at the party is the father's second cousin.

one of my friends whispers to me: "cousin marilyn."

i'm still laughing. ;D ;D ;D

 

Didn't Eddie recently have heart surgery in Chicago?

 

Weren't there two Cousin Marilyns?

 

Yvonne DeCarlo was a real stunner in her day.

 

I was thinking the same thing...wouldn't have guessed it.

 

Even as Lilly, Yvonne DeCarlo was hot... an absolutely stunning woman in her younger days.

 

Actually, there were three. Beverly Owen originated the role but was replaced in the first season by Pat Priest. Right after the series was cancelled, the cast made the feature movie "Munster Go Home," in which Priest was not invited to participate. Marilyn was played instead by Debbie Watson.

Regarding Priest being a surviving cast member, Wikipedia's entry on her says she's suffering from lymphoma but there are no other details, ie. her prognosis.

RIP Yvonne, and best wishes to Pat.

 

One interesting note: Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster) was a year younger than Yvonne DeCarlo.

 

I'd have hit it.
