>>>My one claim to fame is that I came up with "Nice Dress Nellie." It is based on a comment in one episode Andy made to Nellie about her dress.
I'm hoping to maybe get invited to Mayberry Days as one of the celebrities. They can introduce me from the stage and I'll smile and nod. Dan<<< I would like to provide unofficial Verification to Dan's claim (official verification, as we know, only comes in the mail). I remember when he dubbed her with this moniker. My "Claim to fame" on this nice lady is that I (with Allan's help) built her Character Webpage, listing as many of her appearances as I have been able to detect/recall at the time. (but I'm sure there are more) What has not been mentioned, is that she, like Mr. Schwamp remains a mystery as to her real name. Someone confused the episode that Andy mentioned her nice dress (When Barney locks everyone up in jail) with the one where she appears as one of the girls Barney sends over for Andy to choose from. That's an understandable mistake because that episode, I believe, is the only one that she actually speaks. Here is that webpage I mentioned. It has her picture. http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Nellie One of the more interesting appearances (and it's hard to tell from a distance that it is her) is when all the guys bring their car to Gomer at Andy's house...She is among those who pull up and get out. She is often seen with Tom Jacobs , as someone mentioned, and it also seen at times arriving with Mr. Scwamp. Sometimes her appearance is a very fleeting walk-through and you have to stop the DVD/Tape to see that it is her. She is Miss Mayberry/everywoman. The Untrained Voice Ken, Since you are a trained notice and A friend..I have to call you on this one >>I would suspect, however, that it could be possible that Skippy, Daphne, and Big Maude may have had tattoos. That's a rather common thing among ex-cons,<< Skippy and Daphne were not ex-cons. I believe they only "played " jail. I Believe you mean Naomi (also played by Jean "Hello Doll" Carson) and Sally. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
