The Munsters was a popular TV show that was considered to be a satire of monster movies. The show ran from 1964 until 1966 when the show was cancelled due to low ratings. For the first season of the show, the role of cousin Marylin was played by Beverly Owen.

After the first season of The Munsters ended in 1964, Beverly fell in love and moved to New York to get married to writer and producer Jon Stone. She broke her contract to do this and had to then be replaced before the second season. Pat Priest was brought in to continue portraying the role until the show was cancelled a year later. Because of her breach of contract, Beverly was given a five-year ban from the studio and the sad part is that she and her husband divorced in 1974.
