R.I.P. Yvonne De Carlo



Although she was no Carolyn Jones, Yvonne De Carlo, who died yesterday, held a very special place in my heart—my prepubescent, black-and-white TV loving, "I can't wait until 'Ultraman' comes on" heart.

And, as these photo galleries of her prove, I find that I was on the wrong side of one of the hip, "Gen-X" pop-culture arguments I loved to instigate: Lily Munster really was hotter than Morticia Addams.

John, John, John,

While a younger Yvonne De Carlo was hotter than Carolyn Jones.

Morticia Addams was hotter than Lily Munster. You must see the difference.

The walk, the shears, those eyes, that neck, no comparison man.

aw, I didn't see this until I read your post. That is sad.

BTW, the word verification is pffrt, which happens to be one of my favorite words. Just as an added thought.
