I just watched an episode where she went away to get a singing job-she came back with a record she had made ,calling it a rock and roll song. It wasn't. And she did a lousy job singing it. As a kid I thought she was pretty good-she wasn't. She was off key most of the time

Yeah! I don't want to say anything bad about her because I like her. But same here, as a little girl I thought her singing was good! I also thought she was prettier than she is!! IMO Meredith was the least pretty of all 6 girls ( Jeannine Riley, Gunilla Hutton, Pat Woodell, Lori Saunders and Linda Kaye Henning) were all prettier than Meredith IMO!

As a little boy, I thought she was the prettiest, too. But, then I saw it again about 15 years ago, and I was like Whoa who is this Bobby Jo (Lori Saunders). I said that to my friend that the hottest female ever was on PJ. He said Oh, I remember the blonde.
Is there something about blonde hair when you're a kid that you think it makes a girl prettier?
Her father was Gordon Macrae, singer-superb in musicals like "Oklahoma" and "Carousel."
He set the bar and perhaps no one wanted to suggest that her talent was somewhat less when it came to singing.
I always liked her and thought she brought something extra to the role of "Billie Jo".
I liked her in the "Frankie and Annette" beach pix too, like in "Bikini Beach".
"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac'... HONEY!"
I actually thought she had a nice voice. Here's a youtube link the shows Meredith singing with her father, Gordon MacRae. Meredith looks like she was around 11 or 12.
