BETTY LYNN – 94 YEARS OLD

Former actress Betty Lynn is best known as Thelma Lou in the 1960s hit sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. However, she achieved her top celebrity status way before that. In fact, she was already in the mainstream acting scene during the late ‘40s in films such as Sitting Pretty and June Bride. She received a huge credit for her achievement and just recently the governor of North Carolina presented the highest civilian honor that they could give, The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, to her.

Lynn’s acting career began to slow in the late 1970s, and her last television appearance was in the four-episode “Marlock” in 1986. She later retired from show business and left Hollywood. Betty was recently spotted living in an assisted-living facility in Mount Airy and she now spends most of her time conversing with her fans in the town.
