Butch Patrick Returns!

Let's touch base with Butch Patrick, the former Eddie Munster.

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.
