Apr. 19, 1964 - Yvonne De Carlo has been selected to portray the mother in “The Munsters,” a situation comedy about a family of five that looks like monsters but is unaware of it. The series will make its debut next fall over CBS.

“The Munsters” will be produced by Joseph Connolly and Bob Mosher, who created “Leave It to Beaver.”
