She then went on to star as Tammy Tarleton in the 1965 rural themed sitcom TV series Tammy.[2]
Watson's film appearances include the character of Marilyn Munster in Munster, Go Home! 1966.[3] The actress was a Universal Pictures starlet at the time, and the studio used Watson to replace Pat Priest.
