}}Patricia Ann Priest (born August 15, 1936) is an American actress known for portraying the second Marilyn Munster on the television show, The Munsters (1964–1966) after original actress Beverley Owen left after 13 episodes.[1]

Early life

Priest was born and raised in Bountiful, Utah.[2][3] Her father was Roy Priest.[4] Her mother, Ivy Baker Priest, was the United States Treasurer[5] from January 28, 1953, to January 29, 1961, whose signature appeared on currency printed during her tenure. Priest resided in Washington, D.C., with her mother. Priest graduated in 1954 from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia. (See Washington-Lee, Arlington, Virginia, Alumni Directory for the year 1955). She is also a graduate of Marjorie Webster Junior College.[6]

Priest was a page girl at the 1952 Republican National Convention.[4]

Show business career

Early in her career, Priest worked as a singer and actress on local television stations, including WTTG in Washington, D.C.[7] In the late 1950s, she acted in stage productions, including Bus Stop and The Tender Trap.[8]

Priest replaced actress Beverley Owen on the television sitcom The Munsters; Owen quit the series after the first 13 episodes. The running gag of Marilyn's character was that this beautiful blonde woman was keenly aware that she was the "ugly" or "plain" one in a family composed of a Frankenstein's monster for an uncle, a vampire for an aunt, a vampire for a grandfather, a werewolf for a cousin, and other equally odd members. Another tongue-in-cheek gag was that the character's name recalled sex symbol Marilyn Monroe. In a move that angered many fans of the series{{cn|date=December 2018}}, Universal Pictures decided to use starlet Debbie Watson (12 years Priest's junior) in the role of Marilyn Munster in the 1966 feature Munster, Go Home! (1966), instead of Priest, as Watson was under contract to the studio and it had plans to make her a film star.

After the series ended, Priest appeared on episodes of television programs, such as Bewitched, Perry Mason, Death Valley Days, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, in which she played Sue Ann Nivens' (Betty White) unappreciated younger sister.

Her film roles were in Looking for Love (1964), with Connie Francis, Easy Come, Easy Go (1967), with Elvis Presley, the horror film The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant (1971), with Bruce Dern, and Some Call It Loving (1973), starring Zalman King.

She retired from acting in the 1980s, but continues to attend some of the nostalgia conventions and "Munster" revivals around the country. She was restoring and selling homes in Idaho, where she has lived for over two decades, but she is now retired.[3] Married twice, she has two sons.

She has been treated for lymphoma in recent years;[9]. In 2001, Priest was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She finished maintenance treatments at St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute and is now in remission.
