Marilyn's Diary


I loved Grandpa but he didn't have a lot of time for me. He was busy with his own pursuits. He spent most of his time down at the bus station.

As a vampire he could only come out at night. He loved the nightlife. He loved to boogie. He loved to get down.

He also loved to go down.

He finally accepted that he was gay very late in life. When he was around 1,985 years old. And then he had bad luck. When he finally came out the AIDS thing hit. He went to the vampire doctors and they couldn't figure it out. It was like he went on a diet or something. All the blood he was sucking was very thin. He got skinnier and skinnier.

Finally he moved to New York to work in the Fashion Industry.

He is happy now..

Well.

To spell it out.

AL Lewis who played Grand Pa on the Munsters was a famous advocate for gay pride in the Village for many years.

So that is the context for the character.

That still doesn't explain why he used to run around in dragula.

Didn't Al Lewis run against Hillary for US Senate? My bride and I saw him in the Milwaukee airport around that time. Just exchanged pleasantries, my quick take was he seemed like a nice guy.
