I have METV on and just noticed they announced her death.
I had no idea who she was but now I know. I think she was the prettiest one tho all three were attractive.
That’s how I found out about it,too.
I always thought the ‘hotel’ was a different kind of business.

At times, maybe....
Sooner or later, the porn parody crowd may try their hand with Not Petticoat Junction.
RIP.
Hard to believe Frank Cady (Mr. Drucker) outlived Meredith MacRae by a dozen years.
Now that one takes me Way Back
Spin off from Beverly Hillbillies,
And spun off in turn to Green Acres
IIRC, “Mr. Drucker” was also on Green Acres w/”Arnold” and his posse.
He was in a Perry Mason episode as well as a con man with a twin.
Sigh... Neither Uncle Joe nor Fred Mertz look as old to me as they used to...

Isn’t it interesting how that seems to happen?
That’s where I knew him from. I saw most of the “Green Acres” eps in reruns on the Family Channel back in the ‘80s. “Petticoat Junction” was harder to find in reruns, so I’ve seen few eps. They once mentioned the zip code for Hooterville which I traced to the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. I always thought the places seemed more like Oklahoma to me (or the San Joaquin Valley in CA, for that matter).
Just damn
I never got to hit that....
Rest in Peace
The Ensamble pic was taken after Bea passed away in October, 1968, and “Uncle Joe” was then the star...
Ahh, for the good old days of wholesome TV, fit for the whole family. A bit corny at times, but kosher...
Poor Meredith McRae - she had . . . Issues
