Pat Priest's Quotes
- [on The Munsters (1964)] I tested for the part on a Wednesday, they called me on Thursday, I signed the contracts on a Friday and started working on Monday. That was my big break.
- [on her reaction to being asked to provide an autograph] I was really taken by surprise! I couldn't understand why anyone would want my autograph. I was only doing a television show and felt I wasn't very important. I was very pleased, but also a little embarrassed by the moment.
- I think the most gratifying thing has been the many stories people tell me about watching The Munsters (1964) as a family and what these times have meant to them. When you work on a show, you never really know the impact you've had on people, until you do an autograph show, where they get to tell you how they feel.
- I have had very good feelings, and dealings with professional collectors. They are some of my best customers. I think they provide a wonderful service to fans and memorabilia collectors because a lot of the time these people would not be able to find out about or get in touch with those stars whose autographs they would love to possess.
