Watching? one of Lydia's favorite episode, "The Beauty Contest," always leaves?me pondering the question of why there were so few contestants.? The Mayor's three daughters (in a deleted scene he tells Andy he doesn't mind which of his three daughters he chooses for Miss Mayberry and our own Lydia portrays his youngest?Josephine and?looks lovely, if I do say so myself), ?Floyd's niece (Virginia Lee),?Miss Ellie, and the other two girls who showed up at Andy's house? (Darlene-who at age 19?had lost all her baby fat-and Barbara Sue-who wasn't too pretty, but who had muscles), and that was it. And that was all?we saw on the stage.? Seven girls.??
It just felt like more girls should have been in the contest, but then no one has ever asked my opinion. Laura Lee Hobbs, Dime Store Clerk and Gold Truck Receiver Extraordinaire and I like a beauty?contest too "With girls?" "Well, they help." ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
