    I now I’m 64 years old but when I was younger 5 or 6yo, Irene came to visit a relative of hers at a house on Clark Lake in Michigan. My grandmother at the time used to be the cleaning lady for the woman who owned that house. The woman who owned the house was a relative to “granny” and Irene was planning on a visit so the woman offered to allow my grandma to bring all of her 12 grand children to Clarklake to visit and meet granny. we all piled into my grandmothers car drove to the lake. We walked in and there was this beautifully dressed very elegant, beautiful hair, beautiful make up beautiful jewelry, beautiful dress, woman sitting in the living room, and the woman who owned the house, said this is granny boys and girls. I walked right up to her, and I said, you’re not granny you’re too pretty!! Well, Irene laughed so hard, and she started speaking in Granny’s voice which tickled me so much. I ran into her arms and gave her a hug. I will never forget that day. It was so sweet.….

      The chemistry between the main cast members,was what made the show a cultural success .The actors,knew how to act ,and say their lines good enough to make it believable.Ebsen and Culp didn't like each other - but they kept their dislike apart from the show.They did reconcile on her death bed.

    Ive always had a personal place in my heart for her character as granny.
    Both of my parents were not very well off growing up in Buckhannon West Virginia.My dads mom,had a hard job,being widowed when my dad was only 7,and she had a home and 5 kids to care for alone.My moms mom was a very devoted christian,and yet,would be rather scornful yet,proper toward unruly children...like myself.I loved them both dearly.When I speak to friends about my family in West Virginia,I can only make a comparison of them with Jed and Granny.
    My uncle Arbrey was common law husband to my aunt Edith,who developed polio as a late teen,and he stayed with her and grandma to help best as he could.He was typical Jed.Easy going and kind hearted.
    I could go on and on...but tho we came from poor West Virginia hillbilly stock,Im very proud of them,for they were the root of family loyalty in my ancestry.And watching The Beverly Hillbillys is like listening to my grandma and my uncle.Im almost 70 now,and Irene blessed me with lingering,fond memories of my late family members of West by God Virginia.

      Clodhoppers...Now that’s a word which is not easy to work into a conversation. I wore “clodhoppers” every day on my parents farm growing up in the 50s. It is good to see that word in print! Cannot think of when I last heard it spoken...decades ago.

      @NoName99 NoFace88One very cold winter at age 19 I married. Spent my Christmas present money on a nice pair of furry ankle boots. My new husband could not believe my choice and called me Granny Clampitt. Didn't help that I was a skinny 5ft to his well-built 6ft or wore my bootees proudly with my favourite mini-dress. So when we went out we looked like Tom Jones with Granny Clampitt in tow!!

    • @DD-xt6vo
      @DD-xt6vo Před 3 lety

      @NoName99 NoFace88 Not American but as it turned out our son (and only child) married an American. He's in PA and has a son and daughter (who's married with a daughter) living in Virginia. Sadly the marriage did not last many years, he left me for an older woman and now they are both gone. So he never got to see me as a real Granny or Great Granny - Clampitt not so much anymore - nor to know our son's lived nearer to Nashville than we could have foreseen. Ironically as when he rang for our first proper date my radio was playing "In The Ghetto" and he idolised Elvis. I don't think he ever travelled out of England though, much less over to see Graceland. I've been over to see our family at least.
      We married on a last Thursday in November - Thanksgiving Day in America - by sheer chance as across the world with no idea so just another unlikely link to America.
      So who knows, your feisty sounding Granny Clampitt look-alike wife and I may yet be related - if only by marriage in some generation still to come.

    She was a knock out lady before the Hillbilly's show. She was a bundle of talent too. Sad, back then the cigarette companies pushed smoking as a pleasure and security. The cigarettes were the cause of death of many of Hollywood's stars!

    Why are all deaths characterized as "sad endings" by you folks?

    Bea Benaderet, Blanche on 'Burns & Allen' and eventually Aunt Pearl on Hillbillies, did try out for Granny; but when Irene did her tryout, Bea said to the producers, "*THERE's your Granny!*"
