This book reflects many of Butch's 1964 experiences, as well as all his early years in Hollywood! Louise Harrison wrote the Foreword for this book. Louise is the sister of George Harrison of The Beatles & traveled extensively with The Beatles at the height of their popularity. The Beatles and The Munsters both arrived on the American scene in 1964. Louise agrees that while The Beatles dominated the music industry of 1964, The Munsters dominated the comedic and laughter industry of 1964.
Butch has had a 50 year career in Hollywood, having made motion pictures with Judy Garland, Burt Lancaster, Eddie Albert, Jane Wyatt, Bobby Darin, Walter Brennan, Buddy Ebsen, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Vincent Price, Edward G. Robinson, Robert Taylor, Henry Fonda, Sidney Poitier, John Carradine, Andy Griffith, Richard Crenna, Bill Bixby, Ray Walston, Larry Hagman, Fred MacMurray, Dick Clark, Wally Cox and Wayne Newton, just to name a few.
Television appearances during the 1960's to 1970's (aside from The Munsters) include being an original first year cast member on the television series General Hospital, as well as The Real McCoys, My Three Sons, My Favorite Martian, Ben Casey, The Untouchables, Mr. Ed, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rawhide, Daniel Boone, The Wonderful World of Disney, The Monkees, Adam 12, Family Affair, The Dating Game, I Dream of Jeanie, The Detectives, Death Valley Days, Art Linkletter's House Party, Lucas Tanner, Headmaster, The Smith Family, American Bandstand, Rose Parade, Ironside and so on.
Television Commercials include both past and present. Past commercials included: Corn Flakes (Award Winner 1960), Frosted Flakes, Cheerios, Standard Oil, Mattel, Kraft, Froot Loops, Eldon Toys, Clearsil, Silver Dust, Johnson's Wax, Viceroy, Duz - Soap, Mr. Clean, Chevrolet. Present commercials from the past 5 years include: Little Caesar's Pizza (featuring Butch, Evil Kneival and Jimmy "Dyn-o-mite" Walker) and numerous regional campaigns have kept Butch visible and recognized throughout the world.
More currently, Butch has appeared on Howard Stern many times, A & E Biography (3 times), Late Show on Fox, Pat Sajak, Geraldo, Oprah (2 times), Today Show, CBS This Morning, VH1, MSNBC, Celebrity Justice, Co-Host of the Q Television Channel, MTV Halloween Special, WGN News Sportscaster "Celebrity Friday", TV Land "Best Of Series" including Cars, Music Theme, Marathon, Lidsville and Awards Presenter. Butch was also the 2005 Halloween Celebrity Judge/Spokesperson for the Hallmark Greeting Card Company. The Munsters television show crosses more corridors than any other television show, including: cars, comic books, toys and collectibles, horror/sci-fi, classic TV, autograph shows, costuming, etc.
This book will stand on its own merits to people who did not realize the broad scope of Butch Patrick's career, spanning many years in Hollywood. Book sales from existing Munster fan base, alone, will put this book in the black for it's publisher. A fantastic read for all ages with lots of laughs & amusing anecdotal Hollywood information.
