Pat Priest Got Lucky
One of the main reasons she landed the role was her resemblance to Own in terms of hair color, height, and physique. This lowered the cost involved with finding someone else. It was a great thing the priest’s father had been the Treasurer of the United States. It seems to have worked out fine and she played Marilyn very well.
The Raven
The Raven was a cuckoo bird living in the family’s clock. Repeatedly saying “Nevermore”, it was a reference to Edgar Allan Poe’s terrifying poem. The Raven regularly appeared on the show and he was portrayed by Mel Blanc. His other works include The Flintstones, Bugs Bunny, Heathcliffe and the Catillac Cats. He passed away in 1989, though his voice has forever been immortalized.
