When I was younger, I watched the Munsters and had a crush on Lily Munster. I thought it strange that I should fancy an ageing vampire, but looking back at pictures of the early Lily Munster, aka Yvonne de Carlo, aka Maria Montez, real name Peggy Middleton, it all made sense. She played the alluring vampish femme fatale, a gorgeous gothic beauty. She was in lots of bad movies which I've never seen before she shot to fame in the Munsters. Her life seems to have been a glorious exercise in gothic camp. For a proper obituary, go to the Guardian, which describes her transition from "vamp to vampire."
