You know how there’s often that one family member who stands out for being a little different? In The Munsters (1964-66), that was Marilyn Munster, Lily’s niece, who was pitied by her family for being so “ordinary.”
In reality, Marilyn was a beautiful young woman, but in the quirky world of the Munsters, her normal appearance made her the odd one out. The role of Marilyn was originally played by Beverley Owen, but starting from the 14th episode of the first season, Pat Priest stepped in. Both actresses portrayed the charming yet “out-of-place” niece, though it’s unclear if the Munster family even noticed the switch, given their unique view of beauty.
