Beverley Owen was born Beverley Ogg in Ottumwa, Iowa. In high school and college, she was always doing television, theatre, and radio things. She then moved to New York to pursue an acting career after graduating from the University of Michigan. She was fired many a time for her lack of typing skills while working at CBS, and for Ed Sullivan. She later became senior typist for the Captain Kangaroo (1955) show! She did many small parts in shows until she got the role of "Marilyn Munster" on Les monstres (1964). After 13 episodes, she left the show to get married. She is now divorced, but has two daughters, Polly and Kate. She is not always recognized as "Marilyn" because, on the show, she wore a blonde wig! In 1989, she got her master's degree in Early American History.
