Biography[]

Marilyn was often regarded as the black sheep of the Munster family, due primarily to the fact that she was absolutely normal. Unfortunately, Marilyn's family often made it difficult for her to find true love. Most of her boyfriends ran in fright after meeting her family. This leads her to think that it is her ugliness driving them away, hence she is very insecure about her looks and desperate for a man. The rest of the family is very sympathetic to her because of she is so "plain" and are always surprised and happy when she gets a date.
