Grandpa

To millions of fans Sam Dracula is know just as Grandpa but he is really actor Al Lewis. The character of Grandpa was one of the favorite of the "Munsters" family. He was a Transylvanian Count born in 1367 but not unlike Al Lewis the actor who played him his age was fluid. He was a magician, an inventor,a successful mad scientist and a vampire. Sam Dracula married 167 but all of his wives are dead although he did claim to keep in constant contact with them. His youngest daughter is Lily (nee Dracula) Munster and is his favorite. He lives with Lily and her husband Herman whom he thinks is a dolt but does get along with. In the house with him are two of his grandchildren Eddy and Marilyn the child of another daughter who lives in the old country.
Sam's character has been portrayed by other actors but it will always be Al Lewis who is Grandpa. He went on to be Grandpa for the rest of his life saying "Hey Grandpa pays the bills!"
