He found fame as a child, appearing in a classic family TV comedy with a twist. For though they thought they were just an average close-knit clan, no-one else saw them quite like that. Yes, there was the well-meaning father, the loving mother, the unsophisticated teen and the live-in relative with weird habits.
And this actor played the precocious youngest member, complete – of course – with his scene-stealing pet Spot. The show ran for just two seasons on CBS in the mid-1960s, gaining a Golden Globe nomination but when ABC introduced Batman, ratings slumped and it was soon canceled, although it has run successfully in syndication ever since.
So can you guess who the 71-year-old who was doing some last minute Christmas shopping in Los Angeles on Monday. The former child actor, now 71, was wearing a T-shirt which paid homage to his appearance in Geneseo, Illinois, at Spook the Loop. The actor, who is rarely seen in public, was pictured with a female companion doing some last minute Christmas shopping in Los Angeles on Monday.
Patrick sported a classic pair of Ray-Bans, a dark pair of jeans, a black leather vest to complete the outfit and what appears to be a pair of green Slip-On Vans. It's Butch Patrick – Eddie from the Munsters. If you look carefully, his T-shirt gives a huge clue. There is a picture of his most famous character – the child with the huge widow's peak – staring out at you.
