Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) in Rehab

Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster on TV in the '60's, has entered a private rehab clinic in New Jersey for addictions to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol.  At 57, he has been dealing with addictions most of his life.  A troubled romance with girlfriend, ex-cheerleader Donna McCall, may have set this in motion.  They met after she wrote a fan letter to him.  He moved to Philadelphia.  They have split up and maybe that was the last straw.  He signed himself in and reportedly had a positive attitude.


He stars in a web show about a former child actor, Life's a Butch.  A spokesman from that show said Butch was always professional, knew his lines and was alway on time.  The show is now on hiatus.
