I remember it well as a kid and I think the show was so successful was because Lily, Herman and Grandpa showed problems that were common to all families; while what was UNCOMMON was the make-up and the gothic illusions.  After looking at the series again after so many years, I think DeCarlo added a stableness to the show that was needed.  After seeing the pilot I thought the first Lily acted more like a female hippie then a real mother, and I believe DeCarlo gave that realness to Lily in order to make the humor stand out.
An accomplished actress with a great career behind her, she will be missed by TV fans and Old Movie fans.</description></item><item><title>A lily for Lily Munster</title><link>http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/10/29617.aspx#29671</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jan 2007 21:39:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:29671</guid><dc:creator>Dixie Dugan, Chicago Il </dc:creator><description>Truly a wonderful actress...she was wonderful in such films as Criss Cross, Death of a Scoundrel, The Ten Commandments, McLintock!, and The Captain's Paradise.

The scene with her comparing her character's "simple upbringing" to that of "higher class" women.........how timeless &amp; true it was then, and more so now.  Sincere "inner beauty" will be this lovely woman's legacy.
