The Hollywood Stardust File

The Dark Journalist, Daniel Liszt, interviews Bruce Ross Morgan. He’s the son of Hollywood actress Yvonne De Carlo, seen in such films as The Ten Commandments and McLintock, but probably best remembered for her turn as Lily Munster in the TV series The Munsters.

Morgan has an upcoming memoir, Sapphire In The Sand, in which he discusses De Carlo’s career struggles, as well as her adventures with the likes of Howard Hughes, the reclusive aviator and legendary Hollywood showman.

This interview not only covers the dark side of Hollywood, but also gets into some truly mystical territory. For instance, we learn of De Carlo’s psychic abilities, and her encounters with UFOs and inter-dimensional humanoid beings. All is set against the backdrop of America’s entry into the space race and secret nuclear testing done in the Nevada region.

A masked Yvonne De Carlo appears in 1958’s The Sword and the Cross, an Italian-made peplum that paved the way for more Biblical adaptations by featuring several characters from the Bible — Mary Magdalene (De Carlo), as well as Pontius Pilate and Lazarus. The Canadian-born De Carlo (real name: Margaret Yvonne Middleton) appeared in more than 100 films, and played Lily Munster for three seasons on the TV comedy The Munsters.
