Her co-star Butch Patrick, who played half-vampire, half-werewolf child Eddie Munster on the series, confirmed Owen’s death in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“Beautiful Beverly Owen [sic] has left us,” Patrick wrote. “What a sweet soul. I had the biggest crush on her. Rip Bev and thanks for your 13 memorable Marilyn Munster episodes.”
