built 815 days ago
Y[V]onne De Carlo grew up to be an exotic film star in such 1950s movies as Salome Where She Danced, Song of Scheherazade and The Ten Commandments. But getting there was far from easy.

Yvonne De Carlo visited Vancouver more than once after she left, was one of the stars on hand for the 1987 celebration of the Orpheum’s 60th birthday. She retired in 1995, but there are web sites devoted to her, and many of her more than 75 movies pop up on television to this day.

Like many an ageing sex goddess, De Carlo found work on the big screen in schlock movies such as Russ Meyer's The Seven Minutes (1971), in which she played a senator who writes a pornographic novel under a pseudonym. She ... had the best lines as a diabolically possessed woman in Satan's Cheerleaders (1977): "Kill! mutilate! destroy!" she cries, before being ripped apart by dogs.

In 1955, De Carlo married Bob Morgan, a topflight stunt man, and the marriage produced two sons, Bruce and Michael. During a stunt aboard a moving log train for "How the West Was Won," Morgan was thrown underneath the wheels. The accident cost him a leg, and for a time De Carlo abandoned her career to care for him. They later divorced.

After an off year in 1946, Yvonne returned to the silver screen the next year as Cara de Talavera in SONG OF SCHEHERAZADE. It seemed to most that the only thing that was worth watching in the movie was Yvonne herself. Her next film was BRUTE FORCE.
