darker side of the story, making her
late father sound even worse than he’s
portrayed in the film. Her mother
divorced him in the ’60s, and he died in
the ’70s.
La Bamba never hints that Ritchie
Valens was gay, but today’s teenagers
might infer that from the suggestion
that he died a virgin at 17. Having
been a teenager in the ’50s, Valdez
remarks, “Emotional choices were
simpler then and therefore easier to
handle .... Because of the mores, kids
had to wait until 16, 17, 18, possibly 19
before they did it. And then you had to
go to some other place like Tijuana, or
go with the two girls in your high
school that did it. Everybody knew
who they were.”
Luis Valdez is well on his way to
becoming the Chicano pioneer in stage,
screen and television that Ritchie
Valens was in rock and roll. “If you
wish to say that, I wouldn’t mind,” he
laughs at the compliment.
‘La Bamba’ opens today on a
multiple bill.
De Carlo lives a quiet life
Yvonne De Carlo and Rod Steiger will star as a murderous farm couple in 'American
Gothic,' to be released this fall.

Munsters' Revenge (1981). De Carlo
also performed on Broadway in Enter
Laughing (1964) with Alan Arkin,
Little Me in Las Vegas (1968) and No
No Nanette in Australia (1972). She
even played the title role in Hello Dolly
in New Haven, Conn., (1968) and
starred on Broadway in Follies (1970)
in which Stephen sondheim wrote I’m
Still Here for her.
Today, De Carlo lives in California’s
Santa Ynez Valley with her two
Rottweilers named Lily and Wolfgang.
She is divorced from stuntman Bob
Morgan and has two sons in their late
20s.
“I’m not a Hollywood person,” she
says. “I like to stay home and watch
horror films from my library.” (De
Carlo has a collection of more than 400
science-fiction and monster movies.)
Sure, she concedes, a face-lift might
have extended her glamour career, but
she says she was afraid to have one.
She has an active fan club and laughs
when the subject of her many love
affairs, including one with a Mafia
boss, comes up in the conversation.
“It was while I was doing Follies on
Broadway and some gentlemen from
the DA’s office came to see me
backstage and said they were
interested in learning what I knew
about Tony (not his real name). Well,
he was a wonderful boyfriend. He gave
me some expensive diamonds, but we
never discussed business.”
De Carlo says that along the
Hollywood path she fell in love with
Howard Hughes and wanted to marry
him. “But Howard told me frankly, ‘I’ll
make a terrible husband.’ He wasn’t a
kook in those days. He was handsome
and normal.
“I haven’t given up the idea of
finding another man to share my life
with,” she says, “but a good man is
hard to find.”
She is also writing another book. “I
had to leave a lot out of this one,” she
says, “and maybe I’ll put some of it in
my next effort — it’ll be a cookbook. I
love to cook. How do you like my title:
Romance on the Range”'!
