Do you know Lurene Tuttle?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 I bet you do but you didn’t even know it.\u00a0 In past episodes of Two Chairs No Waiting I’ve talked about The Great Gildersleeve old time radio show. Turns out my friend Jimbo made me aware that there’s another connection between Gildersleeve and Mayberry.<\/p>\n

It seems the role of Marjorie, Gildersleeve’s niece,\u00a0 was played from the premiere radio program through 1944 by Lurene Tuttle. Tuttle was known as one of the most versatile actresses on radio, often appearing in 15 shows a week (Marjorie was junior to Tuttle by 20 years).<\/p>\n

What?\u00a0 You still don’t know who Lurene Tuttle is.<\/p>\n

Lurene Tuttle played\u00a0 “the shoplifter” in the The Andy Griffith Show episode The Shoplifter (episode #116).<\/p>\n

I mentioned this online and our friend from the iMayberry Community, Briscoe Darling, made me aware of something I had never realized.\u00a0\u00a0 He let me know that the lady shoplifter was the same lady that played Annabelle Silby in Opie’s Charity (episode #8)!\u00a0 Briscoe’s education is certainly worth every penny.<\/p>\n

Another bit of trivia for you, Lurene Tuttle was the mother-in-law of composer John Williams?.<\/p>\n

Follow me on Twitter <\/a>if you use twitter. I’ve been posting Mayberry things there as another way to let folks know about The Andy Griffith Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n
