Yvonne: An Autobiography
There is little in this memoir devoted to De Carlo's career in B-films (invariably cast as a harem girl or South Seas vamp), her stint on the TV cult series The Munsters, or her triumphant turn on Broadway in Follies. Instead, DeCarlo opts to "kiss and tell" or more accurately, "not to kiss but tell." Although the actress fully describes her romantic encounters with Howard Hughes, Aly Khan, and the brother of the Shah of Iran, she also names all the Hollywood stars to whom she said "no." Titillating at first, but finally very, very tedious. Not recommended. Movie Entertainment Book Club and Nostalgia Book Club alternates.. Christopher Schemering, formerly with Arlington Cty.
