136: Yvonne De Carlo
The future Lily Munster became a star when producer Walter Wanger cast her in
Salome, Where She Danced (1945). A curvaceous brunette in her early 20s, De Carlo fit the mold of Howard Hughesβ mid-century girlfriends to a T. But that relationship would be brief, and De Carlo would go on to distinguish herself in movies, television, and as a star of the original production of Stephen Sondheimβs
Follies.
