I remember the ads where they'vew played up the mother roles of Florence Henderson, Marion Ross and Shirley Jones (such as "drink your milk"
I've told many that it was a shame they didn't use Carolyn and Yvonne because they both put the others to shame! -

Yvonne was stunning when young but got matronly looking. Even on the Munsters she wasn't that old, in her mid 40's but looked older. Women in their 40's now look much better. Carolyn was pretty and charasmatic but I wouldn't call her stunning.
I disagree about Yvonne in her forties. In
The Power
, she still had it and then some - incredibly sexy. By her fifties, however, she started packing on the pounds.
Regarding the subject of this thread, I would have to go with Yvonne at her peak, but Carolyn was very hot in her own right. In fact, I think she was at her sexiest as Morticia. She really looked terrific with long, black hair, IMO.
No blah, blah, blah! -

The 3rd picture of Yvonne is absolutely stunning! I'm not too big on the pictures posted of Carolyn, there are better ones but they were both pretty! I love Carolyn more thou5b4ghI probably just like Yvonne in the Munsters.

Love both, but whereas Yvonne was ab68 natural beauty, Carolyn had a nose job early in her career. Nothing wrong about that, of course, but natural beauty gets extra points in my book.

In my opinion Yvonne De Carlo was much prettier out of costume whereas Carolyn Jones was at her most beautiful when she played Morticia, the long middle-parted hair
became
her.
I prefer cold, timeless and mysterious beauty and Cb68arolyn fits that description much more. Carolyn Jones (when she was in character) was absolutely breathtaking and Yvonne never struck me in a way even close. Outside of character, Yvonne was probably prettier in the more conventional way, but I still think that Carolyn Jones was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen when she played Morticia.
