Yvonne de Carlo died last week at the age of 84. Most of us of course remember her from her roll as Lily Munster and possibly at Cleopatra in the epic “The Ten Commandments”. However back in Hollywood’s heyday she was one of the myriad MGM beauty queens that filled flickering theatres and covered the cracks in young boys rooms. I admit a bit of affection for the beauty queens of the 1940s. Of course in some dreamy way they were all angelic in their Vaseline lensed world but on the other hand they did not all look like coke addicts who never see a shower. Times change. My tastes (for reasons unknown) lean to dark hair and often to green eyes. So of all the famous “beauty queens” of the day the ones I found most attractive were Dorothy Lamour, Yvonne de Carlo, & Hedy Lamarr. There’s an interesting story there. Yvonne was first taken on by the studio just to remind Dorothy Lamour that she could be replaced! Hmmm, keep that in mind. A little Hollywood tip on relationship management. . .
