Wow. Just saw a documentary on TV about her a few weeks ago. There was more to her than most of us knew in public. Amazing woman.
I loved The Munsters. When I was a kid, I would yell, "There's Grandpa!" when they would show Grandpa Munster in the beginning credits, and my mom would look out the window, "Where?". She fell for it everytime, or at least she made me think she did, and it cracked me up. (Hey I was a kid what do you expect?! lol)
Love her! Did any one see the bit in the N&O about the custom Jag she ordered during the Munsters run?... too funny. She was one of the last classic movie/tv queens. - ~K
