And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Here's a cool pik of her when she was young and hot: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/ca/29/8fca29a9dda5bb01ce5fc134aaac394e.jpg
She's been around:
Frances Bavier was born in New York City on December 14, 1902. Her first Broadway appearance was in April 1925 in "The Poor Nut", the start of a successful Broadway career. She traveled with the USO to entertain the U.S. troops in the Pacific during World War II. Her last appearance on Broadway was in the 1951 play, "Point of No Return" starring Henry Fonda. It ran for 356 performances.
Her first movie was the 1951 sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), which was also the first time Frances appeared with Olan Soule. He later went on to play Mayberry's choir director, John Masters, on the The Andy Griffith Show (1960). In the movie, they were both boarders in the rooming house where the alien stayed. She made many movies during the 50s and appeared on TV as featured characters on shows like It's a Great Life (1954) and The Eve Arden Show (1957) before what would become her most famous role, that of Aunt Bee to Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and Opie Taylor (Ron Howard) on The Andy Griffith Show (1960).
My first electric was a 6 string Silvertone from Sears, looked like a tobacco sunburst Gibson ES335. Ran it through a small Fender Bronco amp.
ReplyDeleteI had an acoustic Silvertone, the strings were about half an inch off the fretboard.
DeleteIs she in a jail cell?

Ain’t Bea was a badass.
ReplyDeleteI read she was an abrasive personality on the set. Didn't get on with anyone.
ReplyDeletePaul Harvey said she was as sweet off the set as her character was on TV. A far cry from Tom Bosley, or Wilfred Brimley.
DeleteDecorate the jail, or are those security bars at her house?
ReplyDeleteShe was really quite pretty....and not as old as I thought she was (now that I've probably got a year or two on her Mayberry days)
ReplyDeleteAunt Bee was never that thin
ReplyDeleteYeah she was.
DeleteAunt Bee was pretty hot back in the day.
Google Frances Bavier.
She’s in Otis’ old room
ReplyDeleteWaitwaitwait...I thought "Momma played bass"...?
