In this “The Andy Griffith Show” episode – which is the first of Season Four – entitled, ‘Opie The Birdman’ which originally aired on September 30, 1963, Opie becomes a mom!
In the past few weeks, I’ve received several requests to hear more information about Frances Bavier. As you know, Frances was Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Show but she had a long career before her time in Mayberry.
She was a stage actress beginning back in 1925 and continuing for the next 25 years before she moved along to film and television. We’ll hear all about that early career and information about the movies she appeared in as well.
