Mini Biography of Linda Kaye Henning

The daughter of veteran writer and TV producer Paul Henning and Ruth Henning , Linda originally studied to be a dancer before going into acting. After appearing in an uncredited role as one of the dancers in Bye Bye Birdie (1963), she landed the role of Betty Jo on "Petticoat Junction" (1963), on which she remained for its entire seven-year run -- and for which she is perhaps most famous. Following its cancellation, Linda made numerous appearances on episodic TV and game shows and performed in stage plays and musicals all across the U.S. Since the 1980's Ms. Henning has been a member of the California Artists Radio Theatre (CART) repertory troupe. Her most recent credits include _Sliders (1995) (TV)_, in which she has appeared in the recurring role of Mrs. Mallory.  She is the only actress that starred in "Petticoat Junction" (1963) for the duration of its seven year run on television.

Mini Biography ofMike Minor

The son of television producer Don Fedderson , Mike Minor was raised in San Francisco and educated at the University High School in Los Angeles and Brown Military Academy in San Diego. At 14, Mike was taking voice lessons when he got his first professional singing gig at the "Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills". Mike's early TV work began with guest appearances on such shows as "The Donald O'Connor Show" (1954) and "The Joey Bishop Show" (1961). Mike Minor is best recognized as "Steve Elliott" on "Petticoat Junction" (1963). Mike married actress Linda Henning in 1968, who co-starred on "Petticoat Junction" (1963) as "Betty Jo". The marriage lasted for five years. Mike has been on a number of TV soaps including "As the World Turns" (1956) and "All My Children" (1970), and "Another World" (1964) as "Dr. Royal Dunning". In 1999, Mike began performing on Broadway at the Duffy Theatre, starring as Inspector James Ascher in "A Perfect Crime".

 

Petticoat Junction

Petticoat Junction is an American situation comedy produced by Filmways which originally aired on the CBS network from 1963 to 1970.[ 1] The series is part of a triad of interrelated shows about rural characters created by Paul Henning , the other two being The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres .

The setting for the series was the Shady Rest Hotel just outside of the farming town of Hooterville (later the location of Green Acres ). The Shady Rest Hotel is situated on the train line of the C. & F.W. Railroad. The show repeatedly mentions the Shady Rest Hotel as being 25 miles (40 km) from Pixley and 25 miles (40 km) from Hooterville, dead in the center. The characters seem to go to Hooterville for some things and services, like Hooterville Hospital and Hooterville High, and Pixley for others, notably supermarket shopping, beauty parlors, and movies.

The petticoat of the title is an old-fashioned garment once worn under a woman's skirt. The opening titles of the series featured a display of petticoats hanging on the side of a large railroad water tank where the three daughters are skinnydipping . In fact, the show's opening theme is said to contain a hint of sexual innuendo in the line, "Lots of curves you bet and even more when you get to the Junction." This means that the line could be referring not to the railroad tracks, but to the figures of Kate Bradley's three beautiful daughters.

The idea for Petticoat Junction came from Paul Henning's wife. She used to tell him stories of her childhood when she was visiting her family's hotel in Eldon, Missouri . The stories she used to tell Paul about her adventures at the Burris Hotel became the basis of the show.

During pre-production, proposed titles were Ozark Widow , Dern Tootin' and Whistle Stop .[ 2] Set in the rural town of Hooterville , the show followed the goings-on at the Shady Rest Hotel, of which Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet ) was the proprietor. Her lazy Uncle Joe Carson (Edgar Buchanan ) helped her in the day-to-day running of the business, while she served as a mediator in the various minor crises that befell her three daughters: Betty Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Billie Jo. The actresses portraying Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo changed over the years. Billie Jo was played by Jeannine Riley the first two seasons, and then by Gunilla Hutton for one year before Meredith MacRae assumed the role for the show's remaining seasons. Pat Woodell was the original Bobbie Jo for two years, with Lori Saunders playing the part subsequently.

Betty Jo was portrayed by Linda Kaye (Henning), daughter of series creator Paul Henning , for the entire run. The character of handsome crop duster Steve Elliott (Mike Minor ) was added to the show at the start of its fourth season as a love interest for eldest daughter Billie Jo. A season later, however, Steve suddenly married Betty Jo; this was a result of the real-life relationship that had developed between Kaye and Minor. After Steve and Betty Jo married, they set up housekeeping in a cottage near the tracks between Hooterville and Pixley. A baby was added the following season. They moved back to the Shady Rest Hotel in the final year of production.

Much of the original focus of the show was on the Hooterville Cannonball , a steam-driven train (serviced by the above-mentioned water tower) run more like a taxi service by its engineer, Charley Pratt (Smiley Burnette ), and its conductor, Floyd Smoot (Rufe Davis ). It was not uncommon for the Cannonball to make an unscheduled stop in order to go fishing or pick fruit for Kate Bradley's menu at the Shady Rest Hotel. Occasionally, Betty Jo Bradley could be found with her hand on the Cannonball's throttle, as running the train home from trips into town was one of her favorite pastimes. Those trips usually consisted of a stop at "Drucker's Store," run by Sam Drucker (Frank Cady ). Drucker's Store is mentioned as a favorite of Hooterville farmers because he would give credit, while the Pixley stores wanted cash.

The town of Pixley, at one end of the Cannonball's route, was named for Pixley, California . A number of location shots, particularly of the water tower, were filmed in the real Pixley.

Another character was the unnamed canine companion of the sisters, referred to simply as "dog ". It was portrayed by "Higgins ", who later went on to even greater fame as Benji .

Homer Bedloe, played by actor Charles Lane ,[ 3] was vice president of the C. & F.W. Railroad. Bedloe was a mean-spirited railroad executive who visited the Shady Rest Hotel periodically attempting to find justification for ending the train service of the Hooterville Cannonball, but never succeeding. In the series pilot, it was established that the branch line had become separated from the main part of the railroad several years earlier, but that nobody had ever bothered to do anything about it, so the crew just kept operating the Cannonball on the remaining section of track.

The show benefitted greatly in its first four seasons from the very strong lead-in of The Red Skelton Show , which immediately preceded it on Tuesday nights. In its first season it even exceeded Skelton's ratings, finishing at #4 overall for the season. The rest of its time on Tuesday nights, it remained in the Nielsen top 25.

In 1967, the show suffered its first loss when Smiley Burnette, as engineer Charley Pratt, died of leukemia. Rufe Davis' Floyd Smoot took over both jobs as engineer and conductor for a while and then was replaced the following year by Wendell Gibbs, played by Byron Foulger . During the show's last season (1969–1970), Foulger became too ill to continue and Davis returned for the episode "Last Train To Pixley". Ironically, Foulger died on the same day the final episode of Petticoat Junction aired: April 4, 1970.

Illness kept Bea Benaderet away for the last portion of the 1967–68 season. She missed two episodes (ep. 159, 160), was back for one (ep. 161), then missed eight more after that before she finally returned for the last episode of the season (ep. 170). Storylines had her away on a trip, as everyone's hopes were that the actress would recover. Paul Henning brought in Rosemary DeCamp in several episodes as Kate's sister Helen. Bea returned for the 1968–69 season but her return proved short-lived as she only made three appearances (ep. 171, 172, 173) before becoming ill again. In the fourth episode when Betty Jo gives birth to Kathy Jo, Bea provided only her voice. She's heard at the beginning when Betty Jo and Steve read the letter Kate has sent them and when Wendell answers the phone at Drucker's store (she's on the other end). Bea's stand-in (actress Edna Laird) then plays Kate "full back" to the camera, with Bea again providing only her voice. She's heard when Kate is on the hand car helping Wendell and at the end when Kate is at Betty Jo's bedside. The episode aired 13 days after Benaderet's death (October 13, 1968) from lung cancer . Choosing not to recast the Kate role, or to sign Rosemary DeCamp on full-time (she was also playing Ann Marie's mother on That Girl ), the producers introduced the new character of hotel resident Dr. Janet Craig, played by June Lockhart , as a counsel of sorts for the girls.

Though still beloved by fans, the central premise of a country family was lost without a motherly figure. The long absence of Kate was only mentioned in passing during the final season's premiere episode: In episode 197, the Bradley sisters, and baby Kathy-Jo, return from dipping in the water tower. Steve has paternal qualms about his daughter's safety, to which Billie Jo/Bobbie Jo reply wistfully, "Mom taught us to swim in that very same water tower.". The decline in ratings, which began when the show moved to Saturday night, continued.

As a result of Benaderet's death in 1968 and the void she left which the producers unsuccessfully tried to fill with Lockhart, CBS originally was going to cancel Petticoat Junction in the spring of 1969. In the episode that was to be the last show of the series, Dr. Janet Craig (Lockhart) receives an offer for a better job opportunity in another city and decides to accept it. Although it is a more lucrative position, she, along with the other residents of The Shady Rest, are saddened at her leaving. However, at the end of the episode, Janet changes her mind and decides to stay on as resident doctor of the hotel when Steve and Betty Jo announce that they are going to have another baby. At the last minute, CBS decided to renew Petticoat Junction for the 1969-1970 season. The main reason for the renewal was that it would give the series five full years of color episodes when it would go into syndication, which would be very profitable for the network. When it returned for its seventh and final year in September, 1969, the only major plotline change was that Steve, Betty Jo, and their daughter Kathy Jo, moved out of their cottage and became residents of The Shady Rest Hotel. The storyline involving "the new addition" to their family was dropped and never referred to again. In the spring of 1970 as a precursor to the infamous CBS "rural purge", when all the other country-themed shows were axed the following season, Petticoat Junction was canceled despite the fact that its ratings had somewhat improved. On September 12, 1970, the series officially ended its prime-time run on Saturdays at 9:30 P.M and one week later, a new situation comedy took its time slot, which, over the next seven years would not only become one of CBS-TV's most popular and beloved series, but also help revolutionize prime-time television, The Mary Tyler Moore Show .

Petticoat Junction was set in the same fictional universe as the rural television comedy Green Acres , also set in Hooterville. Both shows shared such characters as Sam Drucker, Newt Kiley, and Floyd Smoot. A number of core Green Acres characters, such as Fred and Doris Ziffel, Arnold the Pig, Newt Kiley, and Ben Miller, actually got their "start" on Petticoat Junction in the 1964–1965 season, which saw a number of scripts written by Acres creator Jay Sommers. Characters on all of Henning's creations sometimes "crossed over" into one another's programs, especially during the first two seasons of Green Acres . In a 1968 episode ("Granny, the Baby Expert"), Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies comes to Hooterville to tend to Betty Jo and Steve's baby. Granny looks at a picture of Kate and is astonished at her resemblance to Jed's cousin, Pearl Bodine (previously played by Benaderet), and prior to her visit to Hooterville, reminded Jed that he was related to Kate through Pearl. Other crossover shows include one where the Clampetts, Milburn Drysdale, and Miss Jane spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1968 in Hooterville on The Beverly Hillbillies and a 1970 episode of The Beverly Hillbillies in which Mr. Drysdale thought that billionaire Howard Hughes lived in Hooterville (the man turned out to be Howard Hewes , who owned Hooterville real estate, including the field Steve Elliot rented to maintain his crop plane.).

Petticoat Junction was the only one of Henning's country trio not to be brought back for an updated reunion movie. The character of Sam Drucker, however, did appear in "Return to Green Acres" in 1990.
