MINI BIO:
Pretty Yvonne Middleton from Vancouver, Canada, labored hard for three years as decoration on the fringe of Hollywood exotica and college comedies. But when they dressed her up in yashmak and bangles, and called her Yvonne de Carlo, she became a star. She put plenty of fire into a colorful series of easterns and westerns from 1945 to 1960 and even revealed a more delicate shade of beauty in the occasional quieter role.

She was honored with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the categories of Motion Pictures and Television. De Carlo was never nominated for an Academy Award.

Yvonne De Carlo Quotes:
Sephora: I feared only his memory of you.
Nefretiri: You have been able to erase it?
Sephora: He has forgotten both of us. You lost him when he went to seek his God. I lost him when he found his God.
Amantha Starr: You say you won't touch me. You give me your *word* as a gentleman. Well, what's to stop you from breakin' your word late one night and forcin' yourself on me while I sleep?
Hamish Bond: [grins] Only the word of a gentleman.
Amantha Starr: [late that night, unable to sleep] He said he wouldn't. But those are his footsteps, coming down the hall. Coming closer!
[listens tensely]
Amantha Starr: He didn't! Not tonight, anyway. Why not?
[Frowning at first, she thinks it over, then gradually falls asleep]
Amantha Starr: [Wakes up in bed, stretches] Mr. Hamish Bond can't keep me here! I'm leaving the moment his back is turned.
Michele: [Offers a tray of food] The Master said those low-down men didn't bother to feed you. You must be very hungry.
Amantha Starr: [Frowns] I'll leave... as soon as I've had the chance to rest and recover my strength.
[Picke up a knife and fork and begins to eat]
