The Two (3) Marilyns.

As you know, I am a fan of The Munsters, the CBS-TV show of the 1960s. The first Marilyn, Beverly Owens, left the series in the middle of season 1, because she was very unhappy, and wanted to marry her then boyfriend. So after 13 shows, she was let out of her contract.  She was replaced by Pat Priest in December 1964. When they were casting the movie (Munster Go Home), it was announced that Pat wasn't going to be in the film, she was pretty upset. It seems they wanted a younger Marilyn, so they went with actress Debbie Watson. I don't know... I still think Beverly Owens was the best.
