Meredith MacRae, who played comely country girl Billie Jo Bradley in the 1960s sitcom Petticoat Junction, died Friday from brain cancer. She was 56.
The Petticoat Junction TV show was a 30 minute comedy series on CBS about a widow and her three daughters who operated a hotel on the outskirts of a small rural town. The girls' feeble-minded Uncle Joe often came up with zany ideas that put the hotel in jeopardy.
