Sadly, I heard and read she was quite mean

She was a lovely lady.

What year was this filmed?

❤❤❤❤

The legend. All that with rocks. Angular rocks. Not even biblical riverbed smoothed Goliath of Gath smiter pebbles!

Fond memories from early 80s!

She owned a large brick home in Siler City, which is only an hour and fifteen minutes away from me. It has now become a bed and breakfast.

I want a ferret to raise so only milk

This gentleman passed away before I was even born.. that’s a generation this world will never EVER see again .

Those buses are filled with CO2 gas highly flammable gas CO2 is highly flammable think that’s what they used for the fuel

See the Japanese bettle on the leaf?

Great story

She lived in Siler City the Mountains of North Carolina

Hey, it's my family and our old trailer! Thank you for posting this!

Went there a few times when I was a kid.

Imagine if the every town had a "miss Jenny". What a wonderful place it would be. She was such an inspiration.

I wonder if he is still alive?

Bro i been practicing all days my shots ❤ this motivates me more

I would loved to have met Miss Frances "Aunt Bea" before she passed. Wonderful actress. Loved the show! RIP Aunt Bea!

beautiful!!

Typecasting is never good for an actors career. What it does do is say how good you played the character.

I am a big watcher of the show. I will be 64 in July. She seems way older than 70 here. Not putting her down but just an observation. She played Aunt Bee so well.

My ex-wifes foster dad was from Old Fort and knew Woody well. He collected arrowheads with him and he himself once had many arrowheads but he passed many years ago. I took him up to Old Fort one time and we went to the Woody's museum in Old Fort. Saw the train and rode the country side and looked at his old homeplace. That was a good memory. Hard to believe that it has been so long ago now.

Print media should list her name as Francis (Aunt Bee) Bavier. She's not the first actress to live her retirement years in seclusion. There was only one person at the studio who she got along with and he was one of the grips. It would be interesting to hear his opinion.

I think it would've been easy for the people of Silar City to have learned her name and respected her by using it to refer to her. Ron Howard didn't like to be called by his character's name and he evenutally was able to get that respect. He and Don Knotts were able to break free of their charactor names by completing their careers in movie roles I think. Unfortunately she kept the same hair style and wardrobe choices that she used in portraying her character. It makes me sad to know that she died with no living relatives and no close friends. Maybe she was an introvert who loved a solitary life.

Not. Nice woman. Rude.

I respect her as an actress. She had the right to feel like she did. The role she played as Aunt Bea was loved by many people. May she rest in peace.

My mom preferred dogwood too but she used it for something else.

how ignurt

I remember watching this on Carolina Camera on channel 3 when I was a kid.

Rewatcing

Wow, this guy is awesome.

I think I remember reading once that Frances was from a wealthy family in NYC. Based on what I’ve read, she was one of those crazy acting elitists. She won Emmys for the role of Aunt Bea & accepted pay checks for her years of work, yet appeared to feel the show, the role & its fans were somewhat beneath her.

Where's the pickles??

The nostalgia from going back to this video.....

It's so true! Skipping makes you feel good.

Long shot but does anyone know the motorcycle make and model ???

❤

Why doesn't he ask if she's a lesbian

I can tell that she thinks that playing Aunt Bee was beneath her. No wonder Andy had so much trouble getting along with he

God bless the late Semie and all the Moseley family. Bless the Mosrite family of employees too. I've known several thru the years.

I am one of the Great-grandchildren. Hazel Thomas, their daughter, was my grandmother. I miss them so much. The family reunions, Christmas, and just stopping by on Sundays after Church.

My son used to watch this on repeat every day for over a year!
