}} Yvonne De Carlo (born Margaret Yvonne Middleton; September 1, 1922 – January 8, 2007) was a Canadian-American actress, singer, and dancer whose career in film, television, and musical theatre spanned six decades. She obtained her breakthrough role in ''Salome, Where She Danced'' (1945), produced by Walter Wanger, who described her as "the most beautiful girl in the world." Success followed in films such as ''Criss Cross'' (1949) and ''The Captain's Paradise'' (1953). Her film career reached its peak when director Cecil B. DeMille cast her as Sephora, the wife of Moses, her most prominent role, in his biblical epic ''The Ten Commandments'' (1956). After her lead performance in ''Band of Angels'' (1957) and supporting role in ''McLintock!'' (1963), she played Lily Munster, the wife of Herman Munster, in the CBS sitcom ''The Munsters'' (1964-1966). ==Early life== Margaret Yvonne Middleton was born on September 1, 1922, in West Point Grey (now part of Vancouver), British Columbia. She was the only child of William Middleton, an Australian-born salesman, and Marie DeCarlo (August 28, 1903 – December 19, 1993),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VGPY-72X )〕 a French-born aspiring actress of Sicilian and Scottish origin.〔Yvonne De Carlo's official death certificate states her mother's birthplace as France.〕 Her mother ran away from home at 16 to become a ballerina; after several years working as a shop girl, she married in 1924. De Carlo was three years old when her father abandoned the family. She then lived with her grandparents, Michele "Michael" de Carlo (c. 1873 – July 1, 1954),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11671-106563-72?cc=1538285 )〕 who was born in Messina, Sicily,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DRGQ-DRB )〕 and Margaret Purvis (December 30, 1874 – October 26, 1949),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FLRW-VLP )〕 who was born in Scotland. When De Carlo was ten her mother enrolled her in the Jean Roper School of the Dance in Vancouver.〔"THE UNVEILING OF YVONNE (SALOME) DE CARLO: Herewith Some Early Film Entries in the Easter Week Sweepstakes" by THOMAS M. PRYOR. ''New York Times'' 25 March 1945: X3.〕 By the time she entered grade school she found her strong singing voice brought her the attention she longed for. De Carlo was taken to Hollywood, where her mother enrolled her in dancing school. Mother and daughter were uprooted when their visas expired and ultimately returned to Vancouver. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yvonne De Carlo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
