They never got around to fixing much of anything . Talk about a walk in and out closet. Just saw the episode when she & Hank Kimball got married :)

I think this leaves Tom Lester (”Eb Dawson”) as the only surviving cast member from “Green Acres.”

Eddie Albert was 99 when he died in 2005. Heck of a good run.

You are right, he is the last one left, and I suspect Arnold Ziffel was long ago invited to someone’s dinner, not as the guest of honor, but as the main course.

>>a funny, plain-spoken woman doing “man’s work” before feminism made the term quaint.
All In the Family would later feature a next door neighbor couple, Frank and Irene Lorenzo (Betty Garrett and Vincent Gardenia); Irene was a bit of a handy-woman who’d fix things at the Bunker house while her husband was first portrayed as a house-husband but also Wiki. says he was a salesman, too.

RIP Ralphie...
They don't make shows like 'Green Acres' anymore. If the libs in Hollywood made a remake of 'Green Acres', you'd have Ralpie as a lesbian and Haney as a Tea Party member.

Paul Henning’s three shows: Beverly Hillbilly’s, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres, were all classics.

Oh OK thanks I just remembered her being on the show. Green Acres was one of my favorites. The house reminded me of an old house I owned and lived in years ago LOL.

Also loved her as the cranky maid in Pollyanna. Eventually, she comes around to loving Pollyanna as well. She was always a terrifically funny actress.
To: lowbridge
RIP, she was always very funny on that show. One of the more sane characters iirc.
