Helen was my least favorite of all Andy's girlfriends--she was always mad at him about something. Peggy was a close second favorite, but Ellie was my IT girl. Look at that smile--just as toothy! Loved, loved Ellie. I also loved her chemistry with Opie. Helen never seemed to lose her school teacher persona to develop a mothering-type relationship with Opie, as did Ellie, or even Peggy, who was so sweet to him.
And as far as favorite songs, I think Ellie and Andy's "Away in a Manger" in "The Christmas Story" was just beautiful. Lovely harmony. I read that she was very nervous about singing that duet with him, so he had her rehearse a few times and one was so perfect that they filmed it and just used it. It was over before she knew it. I wish she had stayed for more seasons Debbie in Tennessee Join me for "Life Lessons From Mayberry: It's All There in Black and White," a celebration of The Andy Griffith Show and the biblical truths life applications found in the beloved TV classic.
