Margaret Yvonne Middleton, went to school for dramaturgy and had her film debut in 1942 in "Harvard Here I Come". In contrast to Fred Gwynne and the other players, who didn't shoot films or acted only in few movies, Yvonne De Carlo - as she calls herself - she has already been a star as an actress in minor parts during the 40s (with 28 films) and in leading roles during the 50s (with 26 films).
When she was offered to play the part of Lily Munster, she hesitated, but after all she agreed. At the beginning of the shooting the other players seemed insecure in the company of a real actress. But this circumstance vanished after a short time.
After "The Munsters" she appeared regular in other film productions. Her last appearance is dated in 1995 for a repeat performance of "The Munsters" with the title "Here Come the Munsters", where also Al Lewis, Butch Patrick and Pat Priest had small entrance as special guests. The leading roles were played by a new cast.
In the last few years Yvonne De Carlo was working on her biography which she published with the title"Yvonne".
