Sixteen members of the original cast of the classic 1960s sitcom including Griffith, Don Knotts, Ron Howard, Jim Nabor and George Lindsey starred in the genial comedy which was the highest rate TV film of the year.

Burt Mustin, with his trademark white hair and distinctive voice, had one of Hollywood's most unique careers, especially given that he started acting in his 60s. Born in 1884 in Pittsburgh, Mustin didn’t initially pursue acting. Instead, he led a remarkably full life: he was a salesman, worked in the newspaper industry, and even volunteered for the local amateur theater. It wasn’t until 1951, when he was 67 years old, that his acting career officially took off after director William Wyler discovered him in a theater production and cast him in Detective Story.
From there, Mustin became one of the most recognizable character actors in Hollywood. His appearances on classic TV shows became a hallmark of mid-century American television, making him an iconic “TV grandfather” figure. He was featured in Leave It to Beaver as Gus the fireman, and on The Andy Griffith Show, All in the Family, The Twilight Zone, and even Batman — all beloved shows where he brought warmth, humor, and an unforgettable presence to his roles.
Even more fascinating, Mustin’s acting career extended for 25 years, allowing him to work until nearly 93 years old, an impressive feat in the industry. He appeared in over 150 television episodes and films, often playing older men, though he brought a vibrancy to each character that audiences loved. Off-screen, Mustin was known for his friendliness and his love of golf, which he played regularly well into his later years. His passion for acting, combined with his late-in-life career start, makes Burt Mustin a true Hollywood legend who proved it’s never too late to begin a new journey.

Don Knott’s and his mother Elise Knotts
Elise Knott, mother of the beloved actor Don Knotts, played a significant role in shaping her son's early life and career. Born in 1882, Elise raised Don in Morgantown, West Virginia, during challenging times. By 1924, she was already a mother to her four children, including Don, who would go on to become a comedic legend.
Elise's resilience and strong work ethic deeply influenced Don. After losing her husband early in Don’s life, she managed to raise her children as a single parent, fostering an environment that nurtured creativity and determination. Don often credited his upbringing, including his mother’s unwavering support, as key to his success in show business.
Through her strength, Elise provided a foundation for Don to pursue his dreams, eventually becoming one of the most iconic faces in television history, known for his role as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. "Behind every star is someone who believed in their light long before the rest of the world saw it."

Love the way Sarah's included in the picture without actually showing her face, because, of course, Sarah was never actually seen on the show, but she was certainly one of the most important women of Mayberry!!!

Curioser and curioser...
As The Andy Griffith Show came to a close and Mayberry RFD took its place in the CBS lineup, producers decided to send Andy and Helen off with a new life in Raleigh, NC. But before departing for good, Andy and Helen make a final appearance, having returned from Raleigh to have their new son, Andrew Samuel Taylor Jr., christened in Mayberry amongst family and friends. Many fans, however, noted that Andy's middle name, which was seen in his high school yearbook in the episode "Class reunion," was actually Jackson. Stranger still, after many years have passed, Andy and Helen come home in the 1986 CBS special, "Return to Mayberry." The story line explains that Andy and Helen moved to Cleveland where Andy worked as an inspector for the U.S. Postal Service until retiring, and they decide to move back to Mayberry. Aunt Bee has passed by this time, but many of the classic charracters return to help Andy solve the lake monster mystery. The one person who did not appear, and indeed was never mentioned again, was Andy Jr.
Over the years there has been speculation, along with more than a few discussions across the internet about Andy's youngest son, but thus far it is still a mystery.
Andrew Samuel Taylor Jr., if you're out there, give us call or a shout-out and let us know how you'

Frances Bavier retired in Siler City, North Carolina in the early 70’s and lived in this house until her death in 1989.
The house was built in 1951 and has 4,950 square feet.
It was last purchased in 2021 for $375,000 and is currently valued at $517,000.
Nobody knows the pressures she was under to do her part well when others on the set probably didn't like her too well, and played tricks on her from time to time. She may have brought some of her problems on herself, but she did portray a totally believable Aunt Bee. In fact, she WAS Aunt Bee to millions of people, and was loved and admired greatly. She led kind of an unusual life, never married, no children, so perhaps that's why she wasn't as nice as she could have been. But she did try to make amends at the end with Andy and a few others. She was very prim and proper, which undoubtedly was misinterpreted by some as her being uppity. But again, she's part of television history, and is almost universally loved by AGS fans, numbering in the millions.
