I’m afraid to click on that link to “Granny” from the Beverly Hillbillies singing “I am Woman.”
Vince Guaraldi’s “Charlie Brown Christmas” is my favorite Christmas music - I listen to it endlessly at home and in the car, b/c I play it at no other time of year. It embodies Christmas. Played it in my classroom too - kids only know “Peanuts” through the Christmas and Halloween specials.
:^) Her first screen appearance was in the 1937 version of “A Star Is Born”. I had to check that, thought I remembered that, but it checked out, just not in the role I thought.
Granny died kinda early, but looked about 40 years older than she was.
It’s likely that most of us remember her as the wizened B Hillbillies character, who also helped launch the spinoff “Petticoat Junction” (I heard the choo-choo sound from the theme song before I started typing that one), with her line at Drucker’s Store, “you’re not gonna shoot me [x-number] of miles” when Drucker told her she had to reach her destination by Cannonball.
I think Drucker’s store was also the tie into Green Acres. Hayseed sitcoms were very good to that network.
