More About Ivanna!

Quickly tiring of Ivan, Ivonna left him for the nightlife of Paris, where she briefly dated Louis XVI until he "lost his head" over her during the revolution! Shortly before WWI, she boarded the Lusitania and her last reported sighting was alone, drifting in a lifeboat, until Grandpa found her in Hollywood starring in "talkies" as "the ethereal girl".

Unfortunately, for Hollywood, Ivonna just didn't show up on film! In fact, even now it requires a special "lens adapter", developed exclusively for Macabre Theatre, that allows her image to be visible to the television audience! Well, Grandpa, knowing talent, even when he can't see it, convinced Ivonna that her future was in the dungeon business. So, while Grandpa is away on extended "business" trips, Ivonna continues his valuable research, while occasionally blowing things to smithereens!

ALL ABOUT BUTCH 

Butch Patrick physical statistics: 5' 7", Blue eyes, Brown Hair, 150 pounds

Butch was born on August 2, 1953, in Los Angeles. He made his acting debut in 1961, at age eight, opposite Eddie Albert in the film The Two Bears. While living in Illinois with his grandmother, Butch was flown to Los Angeles to test for the role of
Eddie Munster at CBS Studios. "I went in and an hour later I came out with the job," he recalls.

Although a cute little kid, he could play brat parts easily. Aside from acting, an underlying interest throughout his life has been
baseball. (His step dad, incidentally, is Ken Hunt, who played for the Yankees and for the Washington Senators briefly.)

Besides his two-year stint as a wolf boy with pointed ears in The Munsters, he was a regular on TV's The Real McCoys, General Hospital, and My Three Sons. In between, he appeared in numerous commercials and guest spots on many
situation comedies throughout the sixties.

In 1971, Butch starred in the Saturday morning kid's series about a strange world populated by living hats, Lidsville, opposite
Charles Nelson Reilly. This show lasted until 1973 and zoomed Patrick into a teen-idol phase of his career, with his face gleaming on the covers of several teen magazines of the early 1970s.

In recent years, he formed his own band, Eddie and the Monsters, and put out a single, "Whatever Happened to Eddie?" which brought him some notoriety from his role on The Munsters. It was because of that single in 1983 Butch is proud that MTV created the `Basement Tapes', which gave exposure to unsigned bands.

Patrick doesn't mind talking about being Eddie Munster anymore, but at one time he was bothered by it. He even boasts that he has saved the original Woof-Woof doll after all these years.

Around Halloween Patrick is usually booked solid for events that toast The Munsters and proudly welcome little Eddie, now all grown up. Butch is constantly on the go and often off to Hollywood and then Los Angeles, where his immediate family remains.

Butch has been in show business for over 35 years. His first acting job was a Kellogg's commercial in 1960. He was in 16 motion pictures working with such names as Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, Sidney Potier, Walter Brennan, Audie Murphy, Wayne Newton, Bobby Darin, James Arness, Bill Bixby and Clint Eastwood.

In the past few years he has done a lot of personal appearances around the country including talk shows such as
Oprah Winfrey, Geraldo, Pat Sajak, Jane Whitney, Good Morning America, Solid Gold, The Today Show
and MTV to name a few.

In 1985 Mr. Patrick was voted to the top of a "What ever Happened to?" viewers poll.

He did lecturing at Boston State University, high schools, middle schools, USC and conventions. He was also a guest on
Howard Stern, Johnny B. And hundreds of other DJ's.
