Interesting link on Ms. Owen, why she was cast, later left the show, and Pat Priest, the 2nd Marilyn.

Marilyn Beverly Owen and Pat Priest as Marilyn Munster

She deserves a lot of credit for playing it straight amongst all the monsters.

Wasn’t she also in an episode of either The Outer Limits or
Twilight Zone? In this episode, a woman was in a surgery recovery room. She had her entire head bandaged. The doctor slowly removed the cotton bandages from her face.
When the last bandage was removed, there was an audible gasp from one of the nurses. Everyone seemed to be staring at her in abject horror and sympathy.

Turns out, she has a beautiful face, and all the doctors have an ugly, twisted duck like face! They considered her as the Ugly Duckling.

What a good natured show that was. Zero cynicism or snideness.

Beverley Owen was born Beverley Ogg in Ottumwa, Iowa, on Thursday, May 13th, 1937. In high school and college, she was always doing television, theatre, and radio programs. She then moved to New York to pursue an acting career after graduating from the University of Michigan. She was fired many a time for her lack of typing skills while working at CBS, and for Ed Sullivan. She later became senior typist for the children's program, Captain Kangaroo (1955) show. She did many small parts in shows until she got the role of "Marilyn Munster" on The Munsters (1964). But after just thirteen episodes, were filmed, she left the show to get married. She is now divorced, but has two daughters, Polly and Kate. She is not always recognized as "Marilyn" because, on the show, she wore a blonde wig. In 1989, she got her master's degree in Early American History.

I never knew Beverly Owen played Marilyn. I thought Pat priest was the only Marilyn. Most people will remember Pat Priest as Marilyn. Pat was in 57 episodes as compared to only 13 for Beverly.

Prayers to her family. The running joke was that she was not beautiful. Great show.

[Gay State Conservative]

I watched The Addams family occasionally but never the Munsters.

[GreenHornet]

Beverley Owen played Marilyn for the first 13 episodes, then left the show to get married. Pat Priest took over the part for the remainder of the series. Because the two looked so much alike, many people did not realize there were two Marilyns. I read somewhere once that one of the reasons Pat Priest got the part was because she could fit into all of Beverley clothes, so they could use the existing wardrobe.

Wow, bummer. First Peter Tork and now Beverly Owen, aka ''Marilyn''. Who's left?
