"The Munsters", Pat Priest, Marilyn Interview: Behind the Scenes

This is a behind the scenes interview with Pat Priest "Marilyn" from The Munsters and its a great one!
I chat with Pat about her special relationship with Al Lewis "Grandpa", Fred Gywnne's lack of interest in "Herman" once the show ended, and the pranks during filming The Munsters. Pat discusses the initial intimidation of Yvonne DeCarlo, the audition for the Munsters and her close connection to Butch Patrick. I also talk to Pat about working with Elvis Presley and Lucille Ball and her overall acting career. Pat tells it like it is and also expresses her love of her fans! Amazing stories. Appreciate you Pat, thanks so much!
