- Debbie Watson is the ideal perky teenager of the 1960s, who started when she became one of the hopefuls of Ted Mack & the Original Amateur Hour (1948) in 1963 and, the following year, she starred as "Karen Scott" in Karen (1964) on "90 Bristol Court" (1964) and, after that, she's the 3rd and last actress to play "Tammy Tarleton" on Tammy (1965). Both of her TV shows lasted 1 Season, each, by Universal Pictures Television (and now NBC Universal). In 1967, the movies, The Cool Ones (1967) & Tammy and the Millionaire (1967) were flops of the year and continued appearing on television until her retirement in 1972.

- For many years, Debbie Watson was a member of POCI, the national Pontiac Car Club, and owned a really cool 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari wagon.
- She has one son Darren. He was born in Aug of 1967.
- Her husband from 1966-1971, Richard Sanford Orshoff, was a record producer and engineer.
- The reason Pat Priest, who played Marilyn after Beverly Owen in the "The Munsters" television series, was not used in "Munster, Go Home!" was because the studio desired to bolster the career of Debbie Watson. Also, Priest was 30 at the time and in the film the character was made to be only 19, another reason for casting the younger Watson. This devastated Priest and it also angered most of the fans. Additionally, Watson's career was short-lived after this film.
