Are you sure that is not a pic of Helen Thomas?
By the way, Grandpa was the coolest Munster of them all. RIP.
Rest in peace, Grandpa. I disagreed with your politics but appreciate your honesty in what you stood for.
RIP you old crackpot. He was quite a trip. I heard him call Howard Stern more than once and he was out of his mind. This was ten years ago and he was nuts then. He always gave me a good laugh. He was a true character.
None exist. So it's real easy to be against such a thing.
and the death penalty,
Then he shall be remembered as a pro-drug, anti-justice @hole
Al Frankin, the chomping schmuck whose work as a lame comedian and actor, and failed political candidate never eclipsed his role as loser, died after years of failing mental health.
A couple of Munster trivia facts: Beverly Owen, who originally played Marilyn, did not want to be in the show. She signed to do the pilot, thinking that it was to be a one shot performance. According to Lewis, she sulked in her trailer so much that they finally let her out of her contract.
Mel Blanc did the voice of the Raven that popped out of the clock.
Similar...
LOL!
Those stogies probably added 20 years to his life.
A great actor. Loved the Munsters.
RIP.
Methinks your mental health could use some examination. Or maybe you could tell me what TV shows YOU appeared on.
Differences of opinion should not be grounds for the type of pettiness that you just displayed here.
Didn't he talk about screwing young boys on Howard Stern years ago?
Come on. Grampa Lewis was a hell of a lot better looking than Helen Thomas. Stop putting him down !!
I agree, he was the coolest Munster, and may he rest in peace. Prayers for his family and friends during this difficult time.

Yeah explian your comment here he was talking about al franken not lewis
Leo Schnauzer was my favorite character on Car 54. I remember the episode when he was in the hospital and they were going to give him money from some sort of fund they kept.
Al Franken's dead?
You are dating yourself! ;-)
