"Homicidal" and the Original Lilly Munster Joan Marshall
She died at such a young age - 61 in Jamaica. No one knows for sure how she died. There was a rumor it was AIDS, but Wikipedia says:
[quote]I have a hunch that some idiot confused her with "Joseph Marshall" a dancer who did die of AIDS as per this article (EW link) Joan Marshall did NOT die of AIDS. There is no credible source for her cause of death.
Still would be interesting to figure out what she died of. Even Reddit was trying to find out a few years ago. She was a really great actress who never really took off career-wise but worked quite a bit. "Homicidal" will remain a camp classic.

How so, was she in the pilot and later replaced by Yvonne De Carlo?

They let the original Lily Munster go from the first pilot because she looked too much like Mortician (black hair, dressed in black) from The Addams Family.

Actually, as per the opening credits, her name was PHOEBE, not Lily.
And why was the pilot in color, when the series was in B&W?

I just watched Homicidal the other day. Its on the flip side of straight jacket, the joan crawford flick I got from netflix. It is campy. She was interesting. I googled her but not really all that much info on line. I think I remember she was married quite a few times.

Wow, I had no idea about the original cast. Really makes you appreciate Yvonne and that swinging theme song.

She worked as Barbra's personal assistant on A STAR IS BORN. That probably took a few years off her life.
