Geocache Description:

One Hundred SeventyNinth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Lily Munster
Lily Munster, Countess of Shroudshire
(née Dracula), is a fictional character in The Munsters, played by Yvonne De Carlo. The matriarch of the Munster household, Lily is an undead vampire. Her character was loosely based upon Vampira, who was coincidentally based upon Charles Addams's Morticia Addams.



Lily was born in 1827 to Sam Dracula (Grandpa) and his 166th wife (referred to only as "Grandma"). She lived with Grandpa for some time in Transylvania before meeting Herman Munster and marrying him in 1865. She, Grandpa, and Herman moved to America sometime before the mid-1940s and adopted her sister's child, Marilyn. In the mid-1950s she gave birth to Eddie, she and Herman's only child.

She is very close with her niece, Marilyn. She has a werewolf for a brother, who appears in one episode, and a sister who is mentioned a few times who is Marilyn's mother. Lily is the voice of reason in the Munster household, often relied upon to set problems right, and typically mediates when Herman and Grandpa squabble.


Lily is mainly a housewife, and her duties include spreading garbage around the mansion and "dusting" with a vacuum cleaner operating in reverse so that it blows dirt about in the nine-room-and-a-dungeon house. During the course of the series, Lily works as a welder in a shipyard, a fashion model, and a palm reader in a tea room. In one episode she forces Herman to give her money so that she and Marilyn can open a beauty parlor, but this soon goes out of business, as Lily assumes her clientele wants to look more like her. These part time jobs never seem to stick, and Lily would be back to being a homemaker by the next episode. Once, when she thinks Herman is going broke, she gets a job to help out, keeping this a secret, lest it wound Herman's pride. In some ways, Lily is a proto-feminist, striving against Herman's more traditional family values.


Lily is a beautiful and slender woman who appears to be in her middle-age years, although she is actually hundreds of years old. Her skin was green, which repelled some people. Later incarnations of the character, played by different actresses, would change her skin from green to pale white. A white streak in her hair recalls the monster's mate from Bride of Frankenstein. Lily usually dresses in an ankle-length pale pink gown that appears faded and old, sometimes covering up with a scarf. Her necklace features a bat-shaped medallion and a camo matchstick tube. When away from the Munster house, she sometimes wears a long silver cape with a hood.
