P.P. Cheesecake:

Did you know...?

Blonde Priest was replaced by redhead Debbie TAMMY Watson for the big screen's MUNSTER, GO HOME!. That was odd, since Marilyn Munster was a take-off on Marilyn Monroe!

Priest was born in Bountiful, Utah.

Pat's mother was Ivy Baker Priest, Treasurer of the United States under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961 and California State Treasurer under Gov. Ronald Reagan from 1967 until her death in 1975.
