WHO'S WHO

YVONNE DE CARLO (MRS. BAKER) is a veteran film actress having appear­ ed in over 35 films in her career.

As a young actress, Miss De Carlo was under contract with Paramount and played a slew of parts as an extra, when Walter Wanger was immediately taken by her in a Universal office. From this meeting came an audition and her first major film "Salome Where She Danced."

After her first film came "Brute Force" with Burt Lancaster, "Hotel Sahara" with Peter Ustonov and "The Cap­ tain's Paradise" with Alec Guiness. Yvonne has also appeared with Clark Gable, Rock Hudson and John Wayne as her leading men.

Cecil 8. De Mille saw Yvonne by accident in a film called "Sombrero," when he was screening it as a test for Nina Foch in "The Ten Commandments." When she came on the screen he stood up and announced "That's the face I've been looking for as Moses's wife. Thus came one of her most memorable film roles ever.

After a semi-retirement, Yvonne was soon back with films, theatre and television. "The Munsters" featured her as the 165 year-old Lily Munster on T.V.
