De Carlo, Yvonne (1922)
 A performer more closely
identified with Arabian Nights 'Easterns',
she also graced
a good many Westerns, mainly in the co-feature
bracket, from the late 40s to the 60s. Her projection of elaborately made-up
glamour, seen to particular effect in Border River,
was comp?lemented when occasion
demanded by down-to-earth
practicality (for example in Shotgun) and by an undercurrent of humour. The
latter came to the fore when she grad?uated
to the semi-character role
of John Wayne's housekeeper in McLintock!
