I was actually a guest on The Vicki Lawrence Show where I was this surprise guest brought out for Yvonne and after that we became friends. And then 10 years after that I started talking to Yvonne. But in the early '80s, I contacted Al Lewis and we became friends and I started attaching myself to the Munster name and brand. He replied, "No, after the show ended, everyone went their own ways. He also was asked if he had kept in touch with his on-screen family after The Munsters was canceled, especially De Carlo, who died on January 8, 2007. But that's a great idea, actually! I'll have to remember that!". Because sometimes your memory starts slipping on you. In an April 2017 interview, when asked if he recalled his TV mother (Yvonne De Carlo) hiding tiny portions of dialogue around the set, attaching them to props to help jog her memory, so the dialogue could be added to her performance: "No, not in The Munsters she wasn't doing that. I was about a head smaller than the other kids, and they liked that because it played off Herman's height." Living on the East Coast at the time, Patrick commuted to Los Angeles every week during filming of the series, appearing in 70 episodes during The Munsters ' two-season run from 1964 to 1966. My teeth were so bad, that even when I closed my mouth they stuck out. But maybe it was because my fangs were my own teeth. When asked how he landed the role of Eddie, Patrick recalled "I had a lot of experience. The role of Eddie was originally portrayed by child actor Happy Derman in the pilot episode before Patrick was ultimately selected out of hundreds of boys for the role. In 1964 while living in Geneseo, Illinois, outside of Chicago, Patrick landed the role of child werewolf Eddie Munster, starring alongside Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as Lily Munster and Al Lewis as Grandpa, on the CBS television series The Munsters, a fantasy situation comedy loosely based on Universal's movie monsters. She told them about me, and I got some small roles, then some bigger ones." She was asked if there were any other children at home. She always wanted to be an actress and was on the casting call sheet one day. She was the one who got me started and gave me all the encouragement. When recounting how he began his acting career, Patrick explained "I owe my career to my sister. These roles would have him appear opposite headliners including Judy Garland, Burt Lancaster, and Sidney Poitier. Over the next two years, Patrick went on to appear in guest-starring roles on numerous television series, including Ben Casey, Alcoa Premiere, Bonanza, My Favorite Martian, Gunsmoke, Mister Ed, and Rawhide and recurring roles on The Real McCoys and General Hospital. In 1961 he made his feature-film debut in the 20th Century Fox comedy–fantasy The Two Little Bears, in which he co-starred with Eddie Albert and Jane Wyatt. He was spotted by a talent agent at the age of seven, which led to a series of appearances in television commercials and guest appearances on TV shows. Patrick Alan Lilley was born on August 2, 1953, in Inglewood, California.
