Cowboy Ronnie 77 Posted January 10, 2007 Carlo Ponti, having recently suffered with pulmonary complications, has sadly died. Even Dr Zhivago couldn't save him. What I found most interesting about that story is that Sophia Loren was once related to Mussolini. According to wiki: "Her sister, Anna Maria Scicolone, was formerly married to Romano Mussolini, a son of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow, here's a de Carlo obit, proving she is dead, but of course not sufficient yet for the CPDP or the DDP. Not that I don't think she'll get one soon enough anyways. EDIT: CNN on TV just announced it, which means it'll likely pop up there, and on a million Canadian papers, very soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted January 10, 2007 Film, TV star Yvonne De Carlo dies in L.A. at 84 LOS ANGELES, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Actress Yvonne De Carlo, known to one generation as Moses’ wife in C.B. De Mille’s“The Ten Commandments” and to another as the wife on television’s hit show“The Munsters,” has died at age 84, a source said on Wednesday. De Carlo, who last appeared on screen in a 1995 television production, died of natural causes at the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s Retirement Home in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, the source said. A spokeswoman for the home had no comment. Born Peggy Yvonne Middleton in Vancouver, British Columbia, she was best known for her television role on the popular 1960s CBS sitcom“The Munsters” playing the ghoulish wife Lily Munster opposite Fred Gwynne as her Frankenstein monster-like husband Herman.

She was 84. De Carlo died of natural causes Monday at the Motion Picture & Television facility in suburban Los Angeles, longtime friend and television producer Kevin Burns said Wednesday. De Carlo, whose shapely figure helped launch her career in B-movie desert adventures and Westerns, rose to more important roles in the 1950s. Later, she had a key role in a landmark Broadway musical, Stephen Sondheim's "Follies." But for TV viewers, she will always be known as Lily Munster in the 1964-1966 horror-movie spoof "The Munsters." The series (the name allegedly derived from "fun-monsters") offered a gallery of Universal Pictures grotesques, including Dracula and Frankenstein's monster, in a cobwebbed gothic setting.

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted January 10, 2007 2 things have happened here of greater than greatest great importance....well, at least of some level of interest to conspiracy theorists. Have you ever been reading the obituaries, scanning for your name when you have noticed a high level of people of one particular name? Let's say the name of the day was Victoria or Aloysius. Now, I know many are saying that this would tie in to death oddities; however that was related to parent/child or multiple sibling death or even spousal death in a week or less of time. This deals with names and more importantly the two we just experienced out in Filmland. We have Yvonne de Carlo and then Carlo Ponti. Notice the proliference of Carlo in the deaths. Coincidence? Or did the death swords get confused and in their anxiousness slaughtered all persons with a Carlo in their name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
