Lily Munster Born in St Paul’s Hospital and raised in Vancouver, Peggy Middleton began her stage career as a teenager, first at the Beacon Theatre with a boxing kangaroo, and then dancing at the Orpheum and the brand new Palomar Supper Club in 1937. She changed her name to Yvonne De Carlo, moved to Hollywood and after a series of minor roles catapulted to fame with Salome, Where She Danced in 1944. The following year, she was voted “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World.” Today, she’s probably best remembered for her roles in The Ten Commandments, A Band of Angels, and, of course, The Munsters.
