I use to watch old movies on t.v. as a kid as often as possible. Growing up in 
the fifties, everything was black and white on our t.v. set, even well into the 
60's.  I was a huge Munsters fan and remember seeing the movie Band of Angels 
on t.v. and I couldn't believe that beautiful lady was Lily Munster a.k.a 
Yvonne De Carlo. My old framing warehouse use to be in North Hollywood and 
about 15 years ago or so, I was standing in line at a Thrifty drug store and 
she walked up and got in line behind me. She had put on quite a bit of weight 
and had a moo-moo on (those of you that grew up in the 50's and 60's know what 
I mean), but she still had that beautiful face and hair. I remember when I went 
to put my items on the counter she was setting her items down also and she 
looked at me and smiled and I said hello. I don't know if she thought I 
recognized her or not, but that was it. Every time I go into that Thrifty 
store, I have thought of her. I was sad to hear of her passing, but she had a 
good long run and will be remembered fondly.

  I find it a bit sad that for so many people De Carlo is synanymous to TV's 
  The Munsters.

  The older among us will surly remember De Carlo as the sexy, feisty, fiery, 
  queen of the adventure movies of our youth.
  Whether its in the Wild West(Tomahawk 1951), abord a pirate ship(Buccaneer 
  Girl 1950), in the treacherous dark allies of old Algiers(Casbah 1948), 
  decorating a saloon on a gambling riverboat(River Lady 1948), on a far away 
  island in the South Seas(Hurricane Smith 1952), or in a classic Film 
  Noir(Brute Force 1947), we always knew we can expect a real foxy lady.

  A lot of her early movies were with Universal International which produced 
  some of the most beautiful posters in the late 40's to mid 50's.  And they 
  are still reasonably priced.
