Trivia
Though rarely credited, Bea Benaderet was the voice of several female characters in many Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.
Bea Benaderet was Lucille Ball's original choice for the role of Ethel Mertz on the I Love Lucy show.
Her son is actor Jack Bannon.
Was the original voice of "Betty Rubble" in The Flintstones.
Was originally considered for the role of "Granny" in The Beverly Hillbillies, but got the part of "Cousin Pearl Bodine" instead.
Her second husband, Gene (Eugene Twombly), a sound-effects technician (both worked on the Jack Benny Program) died of a heart attack just four days after she died of cancer.
She was one of producer/creator Paul Henning's favorite character actresses. When developing "Beverly Hillbillies, The" (1962)_ , he kept Bea in mind, and, although she was interested in the role of Granny, Henning felt she was too "busty" for the role. During auditions for the role of Granny, it was Benaderet who pointed to Irene Ryan and told Henning, "There's your 'Granny'!".
She died during the run of her TV series Petticoat Junction, and a stand-in, seen only from the back, and with no dialogue to speak, was used for the last episode in which she supposedly appeared.
You'd never guess it from her wholesome TV and radio appearances but Bea could out-cuss a Navy Bos'n. She would crack up her cast members on the Jack Benny Program by betting on which lines announcer Don Wilson would "f*ck up" on each show.
