Betty Lynn Quotes

• They were all wonderful [on Andy Griffith Show], but I enjoyed Andy and Don and Ron the most. Ron played little Opie so well. He really took acting seriously and worked hard to deliver his lines well. Andy was always fun and liked to tease. Don was nothing like Barney. Don was very quiet, which shows what a good actor he was.

I wouldn't stand in line for hours to meet me, but I'm so glad my fans do.

After all the federal, state and local taxes were taken out and then my agent's commission I only got $200 some dollars per episode.
