poor Marilyn.

Marilyn Munster was the one member of the Munsters who looked like a "normal" human being.

It's not really Marilyn Munster's fault that she was born so plain and homely looking.

Oop! EDE and I, great minds thinking alike about Marilyn Munster. LOL

Pat Priest and Beverly Owens are the two actresses who played Marilyn in the TV show

I was actually reading about Beverly Owens reasons for quitting before I posted! Thus allowing Annkles to post eleven seconds before me....

What a difference eleven seconds can make

Though, really, since the goal of this thread is to have the last post, someone's beating you to a post is actually a good thing...

Beating and comedy are both easy.

Whisking, though, is hard. (Fashions in whisks keep changing and I never know which one to get.)

Whisking while on whisky is very hard.

Tell me about it. You can't make a good hard sauce without whisky. Or was that bourbon?

Better yet, both! *hi cleome*

Buddy!

I love you all but life has been a royal pain lately. Otherwise I'd have been around more.

Awww big cleome! hope things get better

So, what were her reasons for quitting?

She was apparently incredibly depressed at moving from New York to California to do the show, and begged to get out of her contract so she could return home and marry her boyfriend.

Thanks EDE. I hope that worked out for her and she didn't end up divorced and blacklisted by the networks.



There was a Steve Yeowell drawn book called 67 Seconds. It's a Lois/Jimmy take minus any superhero genre trappings of a photographer forever following an intrepid journalist who is always beyond him. The 67 seconds covers the main action as the photographer makes another life risking move to keep up. It was written by James Robinson presumably closer to Golxen Age times than everything later on.

67 seconds is also the time it takes to read lots of Big 2 comics due to lack of plot.

Beverly Owen was also married to Jon Stone, the showrunner on "Sesame Street" during what's considered its classic 70s era. I have two sets of 70s "Best of Sesame Street" DVDs.

Elmo always annoyed me.

Elmo always had nice things to say about you though.

That would be the boyfriend in question. They did eventually divorce. Though she later went back to school and pursued a Master's degree.

Good for her!

The closest thing to a Master's degree I have is an encyclopedic knowledge of all 80s adventure cartoons, such as "Masters of the Universe" -- the latter being one which I never even liked that much as a kid.

I was with mr_cleome visiting neighbors a few weeks ago. Everyone wanted to watch the new version of She-Ra, after the Blazers game. I have to admit it: really fun. (You don't need detailed knowledge of the original to enjoy it, either. I should know since I never saw any of those.)

Glad to hear something positive about it. It's one of the few 80s cartoons re-imaginings that I'm even mildly curious about. If only to see how much better the animation is than in the old one (seriously, Filmation in the 80s made Hanna-Barbera look like Tokyo Movie Shinsa.)

The Animaniacs savagely roasted both those rival studios in their episode "Back In Style."

Dot: "Hey what gives? Did somebody suck all the light out of the universe, or what?"
