One of my fondest memories is the laughs I got from the Munsters. But, her beauty was best displayed in the Ten Commandments. Sad she died so young. All the money and fame in the world doesn't matter when it's your turn to go.
Thanks for the memories!

I had no idea she was still alive - I hope she had a long and enjoyable retirement.
