As most anyone who watched TV in the 60s (or long running repeats)knows,she was Lily Munster on "The Munsters" from 1964-1966.

She's just as notable for playing Moses' wife Sephora in The Ten Commandments just over 50 years ago.

She went peacefully and may she rest so.

She was excellent in McClintock. My favorite John Wayne movie.

She was gorgeous, even through green Lily Munster makeup.

Also passing a few days ago was Carlo Ponti (age 94), the Italian film director and Sophia Loren's husband.

The Munsters, another one of those shows, that was so good and funny. It's the likes of Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and others I can't think of right now.

They dont make them like that anymore. Only Seinfeld, was close these days. Just love those 4 characters...

Another good actress gone... :(

If you want to see a complete list of her TV & movie credits,go to Internet Movie Data-base or http://www.imdb.com

Type her name in the search engine and then cick her name and you'll be given the full list. It's bigger than you might think.

I've only seen her in McClintock,10 Commandments and The Munsters. Band of Angels sounds good though. :)

Many actors (and others) give their age as younger - and sometimes older - than they really are. Actresses in particular hit a casting wall when they reach 'a certain age' so if their bio reads as younger than they actually are, it gives them a few more years' edge. Sort of the reverse of all those boys who claimed to be 18 in order to enlist in WWI or WWII when they were actually 15 or 16, either having an older sibling vouch for them or faking a birth certificate because they were so eager to go and fight overseas. And then there are the people whose birth records were lost in a fire or flood, or those with, shall we say, *complex* family histories whose mother turns out to be a sister or grandma - dates get pretty vague in some of those cases too.
