Elizabeth MacRae was most known for playing the Southern Belle ''Lou-Ann Poovie'', Gomer's girlfriend in The Andy Griffith Show spin-off series Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. (1964-1969). She also provided the voice of Ladyfish in the Don Knotts movie, The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964). She had a long acting career in other notable classic movies and TV shows such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, I Dream of Jeannie, Rawhide, The Fugitive, and so many others. Ms. MacRae sadly passed away on May 27th early in the morning in a nursing home in her native North Carolina. She died peacefully in her sleep from natural causes. She was 88. Her caretaker Mary told me she loved the drawing and the gifts I sent her. 🥹 (In the picture Mary shared with me, ''Betsy'' as friends called her was wearing two friendship bracelets my friend Catherine made her.)

Sadly, she was one of two surviving cast members from Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. Now, only Ronnie Schell (Duke Slater) is still with us at 93 years old.

We love you, Betsy. Keep singing your ''Old Black Magic'' wherever you are.

RIP beautiful Angel 💔

Urban Legend: The Wedding of Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors

As the story goes, a group of Gay men in Huntington Beach had an annual party. Their 1971 invitation joked “witness the marriage of Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors". The punchline being Hudson would take Nabor’s TV character name (Goner Pyle) and become “Rock Pyle”. This spread and soon people outside gay circles heard the “joke”.

The joke was on Hudson and Nabors. The two actors barely knew each other. But from that point they made sure they never appeared in public together.

Jim Nabors was the most famous marine in the USA as “Gomer Pyle”. And he was also gay. Around the time the rumor was circulating, Nabors met Stan Cadwallader, a fireman in Hawaii. The two became lovers and got married in 2013 when it was legal to do so. They were together for 42 years.

Rock Hudson died of AIDS-related complications in 1985.
