Boston and Philly love to slander us, but they don't have as many fans as us

God rest her soul.
She also played as Thelma Lou's cousin Mary Grace on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where she had a date with Gomer Pyle.
A beautiful soul.

Don't watch GA but wanted to comment because I was a fan. She was great on "The Andy Griffith Show" as Thelma Lou's cousin, Mary Grace Gossage. Barney kept referring to her a a "dog". Ouch, what a trooper she was. SHe also had a great role in Disney's "Pollyanna".

RIP, Mary Grace.

There's a Virtual Memorial for Mary now on Findagrave. Be sure to stop by and leave a flower:

Oh I didn't know she passed away. RIP Mary Grace

I loved her as one half of the "Monroe Brothers". Her portrayal of Ralph Monroe was a classic. I noticed something a few years back when I saw a rerun of The Andy Griffith Show when she played Thelma Lou's cousin. She was wearing a dress in the episode and I realized that the baggy overalls she wore as Ralph Monroe really obscured the fact that she had a great figure!
