  • Avonlea.tv pays tribute to Jackie Burroughs who starred as matriarch Hetty King on the series Road to Avonlea. While other characters from the show were drawn from the works of Lucy Maud Montgomery, Hetty King was original, and Jackie's portrayal of the perfectly flawed school teacher garnered three Gemini awards during the series' seven year run.
    Burroughs passed away on September 22, 2010.

    She was the heart and soul of a place many of us would love to escape; when the day's realities became too harsh. Aunt Hetty will live on forever; thank-you for such a loving tribute to one of Canada’s brightest stars.

    "I'll never forget the days of my youth. When the waves rippled between my toes, taking the pink and silver grains of sand back out to the depths of the sea. There was a peace then; an indescribable feeling of imortality in the ebb and flow of the tide, and the seemingly endless streatch of beach and sky. Now as I gaze out upon those same sparkling waters, I realize that youth is never left behind, but is carried always, gently, in the heart." -Hetty King

    My goodness, I had no idea she passed away. I started to cry when i saw this video. I was just typing avonlea into youtube to watch a few scenes and remember my childhood. My mom and I would watch Avonlea every week on the Disney channel from the time i was very young. I grew up with avonlea as a major part of my memories with my mom. I am now 23. It only seems like yesterday. Jackie will be dearly missed, but what an beautiful legacy she left as Aunt Hetty! I am still crying. Thank you Jackie!

    Road to Avonlea is my all time favourite show and Aunty Hetty will always be my Aunty. She will never be forgotten. I still watch the re-runs six days a week on CTV and ASN. Can simply not get enough of the King family, Sarah Stanley, the Dales, even Eulalie and Clara Potts

    She was such an incredible actress, especially as Hetty. I always loved watching Road to Avonlea when I was younger and it felt like I was actually part of that family just by tuning in. The show ended when I began high school so it felt like a door had closed but another had opened

  • @Michael-di4bb
    @Michael-di4bb Před 4 lety +2

    A truly gifted actress. Her voice, facial expressions, mannerisms, and movements stole every scene in this beloved show. Memories of my childhood came flooding back. Avonlea was a special, loving place to escape to during the cruelty of middle school for me. As I got older and entired junior high and high school, I lost track of the seasons. How could one let go of friends and family? During Covid 19 there was a part of me that longed to return to a time of innocence, beauty, humanity, values, and simplicity so sadly missing in these moderns times. It's been a joy to rediscover episodes from youth and so many I never got to see the first time around with through adult eyes. The entire 7 seasons has been a joy to watch in quarentine. Timeless. Jackie Burroughs rest in peace, rest in power.

    I loved Aunt Hetty! Even now I admire her character, I also remember admiring her as a kid. I’m 35 now, and I think she influenced the development of my character; the entire Avonlea show did. Even now, I love to read the Anne of Green Gables books and watch Avonlea on the Gazebo TV app. I long for a time like this. This video had brought tears to my eyes.

    Road to Avonlea was one of my favourite serials. But Aunt Hetty was something else.......
    I just did adore Jackie in her role. The character ,Hetty King was just made & cut for her. I don't think any one else could have played it so perfectly.
    I have videos of this serial & watch them. I never get tired to see the episodes again & again.
    I was really heartbroken to know that Jackie Burroughs wasn't there any more.
    Rest in peace dear lady, you'll always be in my heart.........

    its just recently started repeating on Itv 3 in England and iv completely fallen in love with it. Every character is fantastic but the actress who plays hetty king COMPLETELY steels the show ! Her comedic expressions are a joy to watch ! You cannot take your eyes off her when shes on the screen ! Every little sideways look she gives and slight twitch of an eyebrow . . . or the way her mouth moves . . its genius ! What an amazing actress. In series 1 she wasn't as funny, but now we're into series 2, you could see she really played with the role and developed it into a full blown comedy character !

    • @harrodsfan

      I think it is still on iTV3, or maybe the series has ended but it is on telly in Greece now and I watch it every day at 4pm. It's the second time shown in tv here as well as Mr Selfridge which finished last week. I watched all the episodes. Love both these series, they are classics.
