Which Marilyn do you prefer? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Golden One · 06-22-2001, 06:54 AM

As any true fan knows there were four marilyns in the original Munster family. There was Beverly Owen, Pat Priest, Debbie Watson, and Jo McDonnell. Of all of them I personally prefer Beverly Owen. Who do you like?

Pat Priest. I would to wash her bare feet and then kiss them.

I never knew about Debbie Watson and Jo McDonnell. Which episodes were they in?

Debbie Watson was Marilyn in the 1966 film Munster Go Home!BTW,I loved Pat Priest as Marilyn Munster.I didn't mind Beverly,but Pat seemed to like the role more and it showed in her acting.

If you count all of the movies and shows, there were eight Marilyns: Beverley Owen (pilots, episodes 1-13), Pat Priest (14-70), Debbie Watson (Munster, Go Home!), Jo McDonnell (The Munsters' Revenge), Mary-Ellen Dunbar ("The Munsters Today" pilot), Hilary Van Dyke ("The Munsters Today" 1-72), Christine Taylor (Here Come the Munsters) and Elaine Hendrix (The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas. Beverley Owen is my favorite! There have been 4 Hermans, 5 Lilys (if you count Joan Marshall as Phoebe as one), 4 Grandpas, and 6 Eddies. (One more for Herman, Lily, and Eddie if you count The Mini-Munsters, the terrible Munsters cartoon)

Pat Priest was the better Marilyn imo.

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

Pat Priest, without a doubt, is my favorite Marilyn!

I liked Beverly Owen, but I'm use seeing Pat Priest. Pat Priest is my favorite.

I'd have to pick Pat Priest. Beverly Owen only played the part in 13 episodes.
Pat Priest may not have originated the role, but she made it her own by playing
the role in more episodes than any other actress. And I, too, think she seemed
to enjoy it more.

Pat Priest

I love Pat Priest! I have met her and she has visited my home for the last two years. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

comedyfreak · 03-31-2006, 10:39 AM

How is her health now, heard she was battling breast cancer.

dirtprod · 03-31-2006, 04:04 PM

She told me her cancer is in remission.

My best,
Dirt

Beverly Owen without A doubt!!

Why did Beverly Owen leave the show? There was some fabricated site that talked about how she didn't get along with the cast and crew. Was their any truth to that?
