Meredith MacRae, who played comely country girl Billie Jo Bradley in the 1960s sitcom Petticoat Junction, died Friday from brain cancer. She was 56.
Many episodes of Petticoat Junction were directed by Richard L. Bare. Richard had produced and directed the Behind the Eightball series of shorts (serials) at Warner Brothers from 1945 thru 1955, as an independent producer putting up his own money.
