Howard also played Radar Operator Johnson Ritter in all the “Austin Powers” movies. He’s the one who always spots Dr. Evil’s space vehicles.

I think Opie’s about the only one left.

Maggie Mancuso Peterson, who played "Charlene Darling", is still alive.

The town of Mayberry was also acting. It was originally Atlanta in “Gone With The Wind.”

and from wikipedia, Seinfeld connections with Howard family

"Ron Howard's brother, Clint Howard, played the role of the car thief in this episode. Their father, Rance Howard, made two appearances in the series - episodes 5.3, Seinfeld: The Glasses (1993), and 7.20, Seinfeld: The Bottle Deposit (1996)"

When Barney was dressed up in his salt and pepper, no woman could resist him, even Thelma Lou

Perfect casting — pretty, sweet, and funny in life and as Thelma Lou.

What is sad and tarnished the series are the Leftist cranks that Andy Griffith and Ron Howard turned out to be.

Andy was a schmuck politically.

And supposedly not a very nice man. I guess he kind of was Lonesome Rhodes.

She reminds me a little of Barbara Stanwyck in her younger years.

I understand in real life he had a lot of women that pursued him — he was never at a loss for companionship.

“Elinor Donahue” is still alive. She played Andy’s love interest Ellie the Pharmacist.
