Check out the memories of another actress and comedienne from Georgia, Jan Hooks from Saturday Night Live, Designing Women and Third Rock from the Son th-cam.com/video/cJJ59_pCL0U/w-d-xo.html
I recently saw a rerun of The Andy Griffith Show with Peggy cooking for the boys and singing on the porch. She was so pretty and her presence gave life to the show..it was the best gal this show ever had!
@@BrotherTim I will have to disagree. Helen was perfect in her part and was also great with Opie and aunt Bea. Helen played the teacher part well and Andy loved her. Watch them on the show. Admiration for each other. It shows. Yes, I know he was married and divorced. Helen earned respect in the town of Mayberry but she never tried to take over the show. This doesn't mean Joanna wasn't absolutely great. Maybe he did not ask her to stay on the show. He had lots of ladies but they were not asked to stay on. I really do not think Joanna could have lasted 7 to 8 years. RIP to all the greats that still bring us joy and comfort, no matter how long they were on the show. We remember every one of them with respect and love.
I liked the friend or relative of someone who could outshoot Andy at the skeet shooting range. I think she was friend of Barney's girlfriend, now that I think of her. Her outdoing Andy in such a way was kind of a fun twist with a mild sexy flavor. But she was a one hit wonder.
@@teller1290 Second season episode, 'The Perfect Female' (Nov. 27, 1961) guest starring Gail Davis, 35, as Thelma Lou's crack shot cousin, Karen. Arkansas native Gail Davis, tv's "Annie Oakley" (1954 - 57) and Gene Autry's Flying A Productions' film and TV contract player thru portions of the late '40 to mid '50s, looked like she was born with that over-under (shotgun) in Karen's hands. What's remarkable, especially for "TAGS" fans, is that out of Gail's dozens and dozens of credits, this guest shot was her final onscreen performance! (ed. - according to IMDB). She was so good in 'The Perfect Female.' Andy definitely looked like he was having a good time. AND the writers wrote her character well. Most children in the '50s and early '60s were enthralled with Saturday morning live-action half hours like "Sky King," "Fury," "Buffalo Bill, Jr.," "Roy Rogers," "Annie Oakley" (sharp-shooting Annie with her little brother Tagg, about 12) in both first-run and network repeats, before ABC's, NBC's and CBS's switch to cartoons in the '60s. Lots of boys wanted to be Tagg; lots of dads wanted a shot at Annie. Can you imagine a hit sitcom today where part of the plot shows the male lead enthusiastically participating in trap / skeet shooting?! If it did get past the network censors several of the pc-minded advertisers would remove their spots for sure, meaning the networks couldn't afford to take a financial bath for that week's show. . . . And if Ron Howard was invited by an elementary school to be a guest speaker and tell the children what it was like playing Opie when he was their age; in the chance he brought that episode as an example, why, he'd by tarred and feathered by some of the staff AND some of the appreciative children's parents.
Joanna was never the same when she & Ryan O'Neal divorced. Her drug & alcohol problems began right around that time. He went on & never looked back, but she was devastated. So tragic.
She was my favorite of all of Andy's on-stage romances. I heard bits and pieces about her problems in life that just didn't seem to fit such a beautiful woman but were true. Such a down-home, all-American girl that these vices and demons wouldn't leave alone. Thank you for putting this all together with much respect you showed toward her.
Losing her family so horrendously is a pain few people ever feel. It's no wonder she drank. She was so beautiful, and I remember every episode she appeared in on the Andy Griffith show, which I still watch on a daily basis. She was always classy.
Thank you for the non-judgmental, to-the-point review of Joanna Moore. What a lovely, sweet spirited woman who lit up the screen with Andy with her warm personalbility. She was a true beauty.
I was watching an episode of Andy Griffith off of Sundance, where Miss Peggy fills in temporarily for Aunt Bee. She comes over to Andy’s house and sees he burnt the chicken. She fixes up the place and gets a candle light dinner feast for Andy and Opie and herself. After dinner, they’re on the porch. Andy grabs his guitar. They’re singing. I forgot name of song. She has a real nice soft singing voice though. Very pleasant to the ear. Found out later (further readings) that she is Tatum O’Neal’s Mom.
Beautiful lady with beautiful voice. I could never understand why she left the show. Andy's other girlfriends came nowhere close to Peggy in looks ... and that accent! Her accent melted all our hearts. Love your tribute to her.
Joanna Moore was a wonderful actress with a great sense for displaying subtle humor with spot-on comic timing. I never tire of watching her appearances on "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" (1962-1965) where she was featured in two different episodes: "Who Needs an Enemy" and "Crimson Witness." She also made appearances on "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955-1962) when the show ran for a half hour. Thank you for this sweet tribute!
Your are Miss and never be forgotten I will you were a regular on the show. You brought a lot of love warm ness togetherness and you were a great actor/singer. RIP❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She died on the day/year my father passed. Brother, you do these eulogies in a way that conveys a love and respect and admiration for these figures who inhabited a long ago time in our minds and hearts. Thanks.
Thank you Donald. I appreciate that. There are others I want to do around Georgia. This area is not like California or Nashville where you can find public figures close by. Thanks for watching.
@@tonyadianasalisbury3959 Moore had a largely tragic life. Her family were all killed in a car accident when she was a young girl. This must've been a highly traumatic start to her life which psychologically shadowed her for long thereafter. I think it led to lifelong substance abuse and great unhappiness with those nearest to her. RIP
I love Joanna Moore. She was absolutely beautiful! She was the perfect addition on the Andy Griffith show. She was perfect for Andy. I didn't know she was from Georgia! My home as well. Thank you so much for Sharing.
I visited her grave site on a quick trip through Americus, GA. a few years back, which has an amazing old Hotel I stayed in called The Windsor. She had a difficult life as described here and I was glad to pay my respects to a gentle soul. :-) She also had great scenes in the film "Nevada Smith" with Steve McQueen in 1966.
She was beautiful..superb actress..stunning voice...Her life did seen to have it's problems,such a shame..She deserves a big beautiful headstone...She had a wonderful career and everytime I luck up and see a show with her in it ..it makes the show so much better because she's in it...
Her stone is very similar to her parents stone. I recorded more video on the graves right above hers but it was corrupted. The ones above her are her grandparents and they have stones like that too. The only real difference is that the others have a concrete cover and hers doesn't. I don't know for sure but I would guess that there is some kind of policy where family plots have to look somewhat similar. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute. Her "Miss Peggy" character will live on. Absolutely a beautiful lady in her day and, as others have said, a speaking voice like no other. I hope she finally found the peace that eluded her in this life.
Wow,I didn't know she was buried in Americus!!! I wondered where she went on when she was on Andy Griffith. I would think they would want to keep her on that show!! Also her singing voice was truly excellent as I recall the number she sang with Andy!! Of all of Andy's love interests on his show,she was truly my favorite!! I am also a fellow Georgian.
She was 7 when she lost her parents and her sister, wow, terrible! Then she had to change her name. My goodness. I really liked her character on Andy Griffith. She was my favorite. The episodes she was in were some of my faves. Nicely done! Thank you!
I grew up in Americus. She was 11 years older than me. I just turned 78 in February. Americus is also known for having two head coaches in the NFL AT THE same time. Most people remember Dan Reeves who died on 1-1-22. He was only 1 Year and 18 days older than me. I went to school with him ; 1st at a small county school New Era, then at Americus High where as a Senior Dan helped us win State Championships in basketball and baseball PLUS in football he broke his collarbone, missed 4 games, but he healed up and at the close of the season and we played and beat Dublin in Dublin 26-21 who won the State Championship at the end of the season and had also won the championship the year before the season.In the 4 games he missed one was a regional game and we lost it 7 to 6. Back then if you lost a region game you got disqualified for the playoffs. Dan was an All State basketball player and was drafted by a big league baseball team but in football he only was honored as HONORABLE MENTION since he missed those 4 games. His cousin Jerry Reeves was All State BACK OF THE YEAR that same year 1960. Jerry, a very good friend of mine,picked up an AMAZING 13.3 yards a carry that season. Both Dan and Jerry were invited to the Ga. North/South all Star game. Jerry had a good game. Dan was held out of the starting QB job till the North got ahead by a couple of touchdowns. The South coach put him in and he brought the South team back to a victory. Dan was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the game. Most of the other players were a year older as Dan started to school at the age of 5. The South Carolina Gamecocks had already offered him a Scholarship so with his fine character he turned down the opportunities many of the big southern schools offered him following that game. Charles Chappell, Americus, Ga. By the way the other Head Coach is Chan Gaily who was a QB at Americus High, later at Univ. of Florida Gators. He started as a Sophomore, and lettered 3 years. Chan coached at Ga. Tech for about 6 Years. Also I believe he was Head Coach at the Air Force Academy and one the Natl. Champ for the Division they play in. In pro ball he was head coach of the Dallas Cowboy’s, coached at Denver with Dan for a few years and a few other teams. He was also the Head Coach at another Pro Team up near New York
Her daughter looks just like her. RIP. You proved she moved on to other things. Some think she died out after Mayberry. Many stars went through the Andy Griffith show. Love them all. Valuable information you have brought out.
Re: "Some think she died out after Mayberry" -- that run as Peggy was in the middle of her career, far from her (troubled, sad) end. Re: "Her daughter looks just like her." To a degree, but unfortunately -- looks-wise -- Tatum had Ryan O'Neal as a dad. Hands down, Joanna was prettier at ages 20 - 30 than was Tatum.
Oh I just love her! Sooo pretty and sooo sweet! I had no idea about her parents and little sis.How horrible for her.Your first name being changed seems rough to.She adjusted well with what went on but then the issue with her kids happened which maybe lead to the later issues.I love her singing and speaking voice.I had no idea she was Tatum's Mom.Yes Tatum sure does look like Mom.I always hoped Peg & Andy would get married even though I really liked Helen to.It looked like Andy had chemistry with her and Helen.Born in the early 60's but watched and still watch The Andy Griffith Show. I know she was only in 4 episodes but still can't wait until they show those episodes cause I really like her acting and her warm and friendly voice.Sleep with the angels Dorothy.You brought alot of joy to so many people.You are loved and missed by us! Thank You for taking us along on this ride to see her resting place.Not all of us can get there so we really appreciate you doing this and posting it.
She worked alot on TV in the fifties and sixties. She was Ryan O'Neil's first wife and Tatum's Mom. Ryan, who was 7 years younger, was typical when his star was rising, he dumped her when she needed him most. After that, she became addicted to alcohol and she was diagnosed with Cancer. I wish she could have lived longer, especially for Tatum.
Fob1xxl, I have seen the program where Ryan and Tatum reconcile to a certain degree and he admits he should have stayed with Joanna. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Yeah that's what I made that same comment but I didn't I just didn't read your comment and then put that down I just put it down first I mean not I don't not first but you know but she also made a movie with Elvis Presley and Follow that dream and she played as the welfare lady
My wife and I just saw the episode where Miss Peggy helps out while Aunt Bea is out of town and I told my wife that she was Tatum O'Neals mom. Thanks for the very informative video. It looks like I need to get down to Americus and pay my respects. Thanks again BrotherTim.
I was born in the sixties so l didn't watch Andy Griffith until they went into reruns😀😂. I actually enjoy them shows more today in my 50s than when l was younger.
@@BrotherTim these are the show's with meaning good wholesome family shows. I loved Sunday night sitting on the porch eating 🍦 so nice. These were the days family was awesome!🌄😍😘🐕🐾😒
Thank you for doing this video. I always loved Johanna Moore. My husband and I love those four episodes of Andy Griffith she was in, they're our favorite episdoes. My husband especially loves the one when when sings "Down in the Valley." We watch the Andy Griffith show every single day. Great tribute video.
@@BrotherTimthat’s so true- you can’t watch too many AG shows!☺️And I think Joanna Moore was absolutely stunning and a wonderful actress. I just wish she could’ve stayed on the show.
You did a great job of remembering a true southern lady. We all have to wonder what would her life been like if her parents and sister had lived. I also loved her best in the sweet movie with Elvis. Two southern people.
@@BrotherTim I'm greatful of your words and I'm not a family member. If a family member was to read what Brother Tim said, he put in to words what most of us fans would liked to have said.
Out of all the love interests Andy had, Miss Peggy ( Joanna Moore ) was the most gorgeous and sweetest! She was INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't know how in the hell she didn't become more famous......After hearing her story I realize why.
I didn't realize she was Tatum mom either until I started doing the research. She was not only beautiful but played the part of a very smart southern belle. Thanks for watching Annie.
Very nice tribute, heartbreaking story.. she was a beauty and had a wonderful voice, you're right, I noticed whenever she spoke onscreen. Bless her memory 🌛
What a wealth of knowledge you have. Thank you for taking the time to make this informative yet melancholy video tribute to Joanna. I still watch her to this day thanks to my DVD collection!
We're just watched the episode of Andy Griffith last night where she sang on the porch. I didn't know she was Tatum O'Neill's mother. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful tribute to such a beautiful woman. Such beauty and talent, a warmth shines through our TV screens whenever Miss Peggy was on camera. The sad truth is that Ryan O'Neal has hurt so many, many people who should have been loved by him. Kudos to Tatum for being there for her mother in her final days.
She was a meanie in one episode in THE FUGITIVE(LOL),other than that she was a doll who was beautiful and had a Southern accent that could melt butter.
Donna, I too enjoyed her in both TV and Movies. Don't be to hard on the cemetery. I did this video about 2 months after the world shut down and on the day I recorded, I had to stop several times because a man was mowing the lawn 2 sections over from where these graves were. I also don't know if you noticed, but you can see some orange barrels and fencing near that area. There had been a lot of rain a few days before and those were put up in an area that had flooded. Thanks for watching
@@BrotherTim No actually I hadn't noticed that & had no way of knowing if it was being maintained, but always hate to see that in a cemetery. They shouldn't shut down the outdoors, ha, but yeah things were stricter then. Thanks
She was so beautiful. This is so sad. Also what is worse is seeing her Grave Site and all those other peoples graves not being taken care of, it makes me so Angry when I see that, really it’s why I don’t want to go to them, it’s so disrespectful. Thank you for this video and the Prayer you said for her. R.I.P. Sweet Lady. ❤️
Thank you for watching and for the comment Moondance. She was very pretty. FYI, I published this video over a year ago right in the middle of the shutdown. They did have 1 guy there that day mowing the lawn but it is a huge old cemetery so I figured they had cut way back on maintenance staff at that time. Thanks again.
@@BrotherTim Sorry about that, note to self “ look at when it was posted”. I do like what you do, my girlfriend and I would go to old Cemetery’s to find very old graves, we would tidy them up and pay our respects. It’s just even before that I would see that a lot, graves not taken care of, and all I mean is mowing. I really do enjoy your video’s it’s very interesting.
Wow, Tim, what an incredibly sad life she led. You did a very thorough tribute! I didn't understand what you said at the end after until next time, though.
Thank you kindly sir. I can only strive to be as good as you are with your tributes. I close out some of the videos by saying "until next time, the road is closed". My channel art says, On the Road with Brother Tim so I thought that would be appropriate. Thanks again for watching, it is an honor.
I remember Joanna Moore and her comfortable southern accent. Thanks for this informative vlog. You gave facts about the actress's life I had never heard. It proves again that bad things can happen to good people.
So sad she didn't have a good real life. Her Hollywood life seemed to be better than her real life. She was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood
many small Southern towns have beautiful cemetaries with monuments and landscaping -- Mobile Alabama has one near downtown dates back to before the Civil War--some of the tombstones are amazing
Very true Michael. Those type of markers aren't use as often as they once were. I have visited some old church graveyards that still allow the markers that sit upright but if you want to see skilled craftmanship just find an old cemetery and it will be filled with beautiful monuments and thoughtful engravings.
Lived in Albany Ga. for several years during and after high school. That was a favorite wknd outting. To ride around south Ga. visiting little one red light towns looking at historic buildings churches and cemeteries. Sometime if we were lucky we'd find a dinner on the grounds after church picnics to sneak into. Church folks knew but welcomed us everytime. We'd usually leave a donation when we started to leave. Saw some beautiful things of history from earlier and better times.
So often I look back and notice so and so is passed away. I always feel such regret that our life is so brief. I watch a movie and the individual is so young and strong. Come to find out that they're already either in their eighties or their already passed on.
I lived in Americus when the tornado devastated the town. I worked at the Zaxby's and had fallen off a porch the night it happened and had to go to the hospital. the tornado ripped through and destroyed everything. All of the employees of the restaurant came together to help those devastated by the storm. One thing that I distinctly remember was us going up and down the highway and picking up the pieces of wall art from the restaurant that had been scattered about for miles. George W. visited the town and declared an emergency. I left shortly after the town's destruction and went on to 'bigger and better things'. It was a painful time for many Americans, including myself. It is also worth mentioning that much hasn't changed since. I didn't know that she was laid to rest there. I will visit her the next time I head back through. 💕 Subscribed.
I'm not from the area but my mother in law lived there. She is now in a nursing home but I hope to get back there and do another famous grave in that cemetery soon. Thanks
I remember her on the Andy Griffith Show. Not clearly but vaguely. I had been noticing your video for about a day. So I cheated a little and read her Wiki article. Life is all about choices. Some choices are good for you others bad. Her Daughter Tatum has had her own struggles with substance abuse. Life throws a lot of wrinkles in out pathway and one of the challenges are what mechanisms we use to cope with it's challenges. Usually children learn things about life from their parents. Neither Joanne or Ryan were very good in showing positive ways to handle stress. So given that as a legacy it helps me to understand and empathize more with Tatum's addictions.
James, I wouldn't call that cheating. I once heard that what the parents do in moderation, the children will do in excess. It seems that in their case, it is true. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
JC you are so right. I think it has to do with wholesome family shows with characters that felt like you could get to know. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Howard Morris did appear in 1 episode that he wasnt earnest t bass he played the character George and if you look at the credits Howard Morris did direct the episodes he did appear in

Yes she did.

I thought she was more then 4 episodes. I enjoy watching her. Such a BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!!!! Tatum has her Beauty. RIP
I grew up in Americus. She was 11 years older than me. I just turned 78 in February. Americus is also known for having two head coaches in the NFL AT THE same time. Most people remember Dan Reeves who died on 1-1-22. He was only 1 Year and 18 days older than me. I went to school with him ; 1st at a small county school New Era, then at Americus High where as a Senior Dan helped us win State Championships in basketball and baseball PLUS in football he broke his collarbone, missed 4 games, but he healed up and at the close of the season and we played and beat Dublin in Dublin 26-21 who won the State Championship at the end of the season and had also won the championship the year before the season.In the 4 games he missed one was a regional game and we lost it 7 to 6. Back then if you lost a region game you got disqualified for the playoffs. Dan was an All State basketball player and was drafted by a big league baseball team but in football he only was honored as HONORABLE MENTION since he missed those 4 games. His cousin Jerry Reeves was All State BACK OF THE YEAR that same year 1960. Jerry, a very good friend of mine,picked up an AMAZING 13.3 yards a carry that season. Both Dan and Jerry were invited to the Ga. North/South all Star game. Jerry had a good game. Dan was held out of the starting QB job till the North got ahead by a couple of touchdowns. The South coach put him in and he brought the South team back to a victory. Dan was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the game. Most of the other players were a year older as Dan started to school at the age of 5. The South Carolina Gamecocks had already offered him a Scholarship so with his fine character he turned down the opportunities many of the big southern schools offered him following that game. Charles Chappell, Americus, Ga.
By the way the other Head Coach is Chan Gaily who was a QB at Americus High, later at Univ. of Florida Gators. He started as a Sophomore, and lettered 3 years. Chan coached at Ga. Tech for about 6 Years. Also I believe he was Head Coach at the Air Force Academy and one the Natl. Champ for the Division they play in. In pro ball he was head coach of the Dallas Cowboy’s, coached at Denver with Dan for a few years and a few other teams. He was also the Head Coach at another Pro Team up near New York
Her daughter looks just like her. RIP. You proved she moved on to other things. Some think she died out after Mayberry. Many stars went through the Andy Griffith show. Love them all. Valuable information you have brought out.
Thanks, I appreciate that very much.
Re: "Some think she died out after Mayberry" -- that run as Peggy was in the middle of her career, far from her (troubled, sad) end.
Re: "Her daughter looks just like her." To a degree, but unfortunately -- looks-wise -- Tatum had Ryan O'Neal as a dad. Hands down, Joanna was prettier at ages 20 - 30 than was Tatum.
@@scvandy3129 Tatum didn't look like her at all, IMO. Tatum was freckled and boyish. Joanna was fair and had beautiful delicate features.
Thanks. I. Dearly. Love. Her. Voice an. Her singing
No thank you Mary for watching and for the comment.
You are to be congratulated for the very respectful and loving manner in which you presented the life of Miss Moore.
Wow, thank you John. I appreciate the comment very much.
Beautiful, talented lady.Thank you for the wonderful tribute !
I appreciate you watching the video and for the comment.
She was also in The High Chapperal tv show with Cameron Mitchell. Another very fine actor. It was a sweet love story.
She guest starred in a lot of westerns back then. Thanks for watching Joyful Hope.
Oh I just love her! Sooo pretty and sooo sweet! I had no idea about her parents and little sis.How horrible for her.Your first name being changed seems rough to.She adjusted well with what went on but then the issue with her kids happened which maybe lead to the later issues.I love her singing and speaking voice.I had no idea she was Tatum's Mom.Yes Tatum sure does look like Mom.I always hoped Peg & Andy would get married even though I really liked Helen to.It looked like Andy had chemistry with her and Helen.Born in the early 60's but watched and still watch The Andy Griffith Show.
I know she was only in 4 episodes but still can't wait until they show those episodes cause I really like her acting and her warm and friendly voice.Sleep with the angels Dorothy.You brought alot of joy to so many people.You are loved and missed by us! Thank You for taking us along on this ride to see her resting place.Not all of us can get there so we really appreciate you doing this and posting it.
Thanks for the comment Rita. I am so glad you enjoyed the video.
@@BrotherTim 👌🏻
She worked alot on TV in the fifties and sixties. She was Ryan O'Neil's first wife and Tatum's Mom. Ryan, who was 7 years younger, was typical when his star was rising, he dumped her when she needed him most. After that, she became addicted to alcohol and she was diagnosed with Cancer. I wish she could have lived longer, especially for Tatum.
Fob1xxl, I have seen the program where Ryan and Tatum reconcile to a certain degree and he admits he should have stayed with Joanna. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Yeah that's what I made that same comment but I didn't I just didn't read your comment and then put that down I just put it down first I mean not I don't not first but you know but she also made a movie with Elvis Presley and Follow that dream and she played as the welfare lady
I better kids never visit or put flowers on her grave
I loved her southern accent
She was a true Southern Bell, Mississippi Mud. Thanks for all your comments and for watching the videos.
My wife and I just saw the episode where Miss Peggy helps out while Aunt Bea is out of town and I told my wife that she was Tatum O'Neals mom. Thanks for the very informative video. It looks like I need to get down to Americus and pay my respects. Thanks again BrotherTim.
Thank you for watching and for the comment William. Her plot is not easy to find but there is a GPS locator on findagrave.com. Thanks again.
I was born in the sixties so l didn't watch Andy Griffith until they went into reruns😀😂. I actually enjoy them shows more today in my 50s than when l was younger.
I watched the show mostly in reruns on Superstation WTBS but enjoy it still today. Thanks for watching.
@@BrotherTim these are the show's with meaning good wholesome family shows. I loved Sunday night sitting on the porch eating 🍦 so nice. These were the days family was awesome!🌄😍😘🐕🐾😒
Thks for this video, I thought Joanna Moore was a beautiful woman. She had gorgeous eyes, her daughter Tatum has her eyes just beautiful ❤️
I totally agree!
God bless her beautiful Soul. 🙏❤💐
Thank you for doing this video. I always loved Johanna Moore. My husband and I love those four episodes of Andy Griffith she was in, they're our favorite episdoes. My husband especially loves the one when when sings "Down in the Valley." We watch the Andy Griffith show every single day. Great tribute video.
No, thank you for watching. I really appreciate it. You can never watch to many Andy Griffith Shows.
@@BrotherTimthat’s so true- you can’t watch too many AG shows!☺️And I think Joanna Moore was absolutely stunning and a wonderful actress. I just wish she could’ve stayed on the show.
You did a great job of remembering a true southern lady. We all have to wonder what would her life been like if her parents and sister had lived.
I also loved her best in
the sweet movie with Elvis. Two southern people.
Thanks for watching and for the comment Rosi
Excellent biography and tribute to this wonderful actress.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. I really do appreciate it.
@@BrotherTim Your very welcome!
She was a beautiful lady an her voice was one of a kind she has been missed I 😍 loved her on the Andy Griffith show as Peggy she was a great actress
I agree Cynthia. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Here after the loss of Ryan. What a beautiful tribute.
Thanks for watching
Fella, that was probably a more heart felt and well said eulogy than what she likely had in 1997.
I appreciate that David R. Thanks for watching.
@@BrotherTim I'm greatful of your words and I'm not a family member. If a family member was to read what Brother Tim said, he put in to words what most of us fans would liked to have said.
Out of all the love interests Andy had, Miss Peggy ( Joanna Moore ) was the most gorgeous and sweetest! She was INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't know how in the hell she didn't become more famous......After hearing her story I realize why.
Thanks for watching Erika.
She was soo Beautiful.
I remember her well she was so pretty.
She was beautiful. Loved her on Andy Griffin
Yes she was Bette. I appreciate the comment and for watching.
She was so beautiful. I didn't know she was Tatum O'Neal's mother until I read Tatum's book, 'A paper life.'
I didn't realize she was Tatum mom either until I started doing the research. She was not only beautiful but played the part of a very smart southern belle. Thanks for watching Annie.
@@BrotherTim Georgia native! She was stunning!
I knew from 1967 when I read a magazine article about Ryan O'Neal and his wife and two children.
@@richardranke3158 Never lost her lovely southern twang. She was a natural on "Andy Griffith Show."
Absolutely true beauty and southern belle….Ellie and Helen couldn’t hold a candle to Peggy!!! (Always thought Tatum was gorgeous as well)
So true!
She had a life of tragedy...RIP
I have read that Tatum and Griffin both had issues with addiction. That often is genetic. It's very sad. She had a hard life. God bless her.
Nice video, thanks for sharing. She sand that song 'Down in the Valley, so beautifully.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Thanks for that beautiful piece!! That was awesome.
Thank you for watching Don and leaving a comment. It is much appreciated.
She had the voice of an angel. 👼
Thanks for the comment Beautiful Sky.
I like the one episode that she was in , when aunt Bee went out of town and she cooked for Opie and Andy LoL
Great 👍 memories. Born 1958. Rip greatness Amen 🙏.
Thanks for the view and for the comment Rodolfo.
Loved Joanna Moore in anything she acted in.
She was a beautiful and talented lady, Cindy. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
What a beautiful eulogy you gave. I couldn’t have expressed it better myself.
Thank you kindly ChrisTopher. I appreciate you watching and for the comment too.
Very nice tribute, heartbreaking story.. she was a beauty and had a wonderful voice, you're right, I noticed whenever she spoke onscreen. Bless her memory 🌛
Thanks for watching Kenneth
What a wealth of knowledge you have. Thank you for taking the time to make this informative yet melancholy video tribute to Joanna. I still watch her to this day thanks to my DVD collection!
My pleasure!
Very nice tribute made here to Joanna. May she be with all her family together now.
Thank you Jeanne for watching and the nice comment.
She was a keeper! R.I.P. sweet.lady.
We're just watched the episode of Andy Griffith last night where she sang on the porch. I didn't know she was Tatum O'Neill's mother. Thanks for the video.
I am glad I was able to give you some info you didn't know. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful tribute to such a beautiful woman. Such beauty and talent, a warmth shines through our TV screens whenever Miss Peggy was on camera.
The sad truth is that Ryan O'Neal has hurt so many, many people who should have been loved by him.
Kudos to Tatum for being there for her mother in her final days.
Thanks for watching Mello Me.
My mama is buried here also .
She was a meanie in one episode in THE FUGITIVE(LOL),other than that she was a doll who was beautiful and had a Southern accent that could melt butter.
Very true Frankie C. Thanks for watching.
This women was a beautiful women physically ...but her personality was also very beautiful.
I agree Edwards Cherry. Thanks for watching.
Loved her in everything I saw her in. She could sing too. It's a shame the cemetery isn't being maintained tho!!
Donna, I too enjoyed her in both TV and Movies. Don't be to hard on the cemetery. I did this video about 2 months after the world shut down and on the day I recorded, I had to stop several times because a man was mowing the lawn 2 sections over from where these graves were. I also don't know if you noticed, but you can see some orange barrels and fencing near that area. There had been a lot of rain a few days before and those were put up in an area that had flooded. Thanks for watching
@@BrotherTim No actually I hadn't noticed that & had no way of knowing if it was being maintained, but always hate to see that in a cemetery. They shouldn't shut down the outdoors, ha, but yeah things were stricter then. Thanks
Always loved the episode where her and Andy sang
Thanks for watching Kathy
She was so beautiful. This is so sad. Also what is worse is seeing her Grave Site and all those other peoples graves not being taken care of, it makes me so Angry when I see that, really it’s why I don’t want to go to them, it’s so disrespectful. Thank you for this video and the Prayer you said for her. R.I.P. Sweet Lady. ❤️
Thank you for watching and for the comment Moondance. She was very pretty. FYI, I published this video over a year ago right in the middle of the shutdown. They did have 1 guy there that day mowing the lawn but it is a huge old cemetery so I figured they had cut way back on maintenance staff at that time. Thanks again.
@@BrotherTim Sorry about that, note to self “ look at when it was posted”. I do like what you do, my girlfriend and I would go to old Cemetery’s to find very old graves, we would tidy them up and pay our respects. It’s just even before that I would see that a lot, graves not taken care of, and all I mean is mowing. I really do enjoy your video’s it’s very interesting.
Wow, Tim, what an incredibly sad life she led. You did a very thorough tribute! I didn't understand what you said at the end after until next time, though.
Thank you kindly sir. I can only strive to be as good as you are with your tributes. I close out some of the videos by saying "until next time, the road is closed". My channel art says, On the Road with Brother Tim so I thought that would be appropriate. Thanks again for watching, it is an honor.
Great job on this. I live 3 miles from Agnes Scott College here in Decatur Georgia where she went to college.
Thanks for watching Mitch!
Wonderful story! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
What a tragic life.God rest her.
BrotherTim I don't think a person could show more respect and appreciation to someone than you.
You're a good man and thank you for this video.
I appreciate that EBthere. That means a lot to me.
I loved her voice !!!!😇
Yes Yolanda, both singing and speaking voices were lovely. Thanks for watching.
@@BrotherTim you are so right !!!! You have a blessed day, especially because you're brother Tim.😇🙏👌🤗
She had such pretty eyes
She was on the rifleman too with Chuck Connors on one episode, she was married to a newspaperman who was jealous & was making trouble for Lucas.
She made a ton of guest appearances in the early 60's. Thanks for the comment.
I remember Joanna Moore and her comfortable southern accent. Thanks for this informative vlog. You gave facts about the actress's life I had never heard. It proves again that bad things can happen to good people.
Thom, so glad I was able to give you a little more info on this beautiful, talented woman. I appreciate you watching and for the comment.
So sad she didn't have a good real life. Her Hollywood life seemed to be better than her real life. She was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood
Very true Dan. We never know the demons that people are living with. Thank you for watching the video
@@BrotherTim yes sad but true
Tatum sure looks like her mother
many small Southern towns have beautiful cemetaries with monuments and landscaping -- Mobile Alabama has one near downtown dates back to before the Civil War--some of the tombstones are amazing
Very true Michael. Those type of markers aren't use as often as they once were. I have visited some old church graveyards that still allow the markers that sit upright but if you want to see skilled craftmanship just find an old cemetery and it will be filled with beautiful monuments and thoughtful engravings.
Lived in Albany Ga. for several years during and after high school. That was a favorite wknd outting. To ride around south Ga. visiting little one red light towns looking at historic buildings churches and cemeteries. Sometime if we were lucky we'd find a dinner on the grounds after church picnics to sneak into. Church folks knew but welcomed us everytime. We'd usually leave a donation when we started to leave. Saw some beautiful things of history from earlier and better times.
So often I look back and notice so and so is passed away. I always feel such regret that our life is so brief. I watch a movie and the individual is so young and strong. Come to find out that they're already either in their eighties or their already passed on.
Life is a vapor. It appears for a little while then vanishes away. Thanks for the comment David
lovely lady and fine actress, this is a beautiful cemetary!
I lived in Americus when the tornado devastated the town. I worked at the Zaxby's and had fallen off a porch the night it happened and had to go to the hospital. the tornado ripped through and destroyed everything. All of the employees of the restaurant came together to help those devastated by the storm. One thing that I distinctly remember was us going up and down the highway and picking up the pieces of wall art from the restaurant that had been scattered about for miles. George W. visited the town and declared an emergency. I left shortly after the town's destruction and went on to 'bigger and better things'. It was a painful time for many Americans, including myself. It is also worth mentioning that much hasn't changed since. I didn't know that she was laid to rest there. I will visit her the next time I head back through. 💕 Subscribed.
I'm not from the area but my mother in law lived there. She is now in a nursing home but I hope to get back there and do another famous grave in that cemetery soon. Thanks
I remember her on the Andy Griffith Show. Not clearly but vaguely. I had been noticing your video for about a day. So I cheated a little and read her Wiki article. Life is all about choices. Some choices are good for you others bad. Her Daughter Tatum has had her own struggles with substance abuse. Life throws a lot of wrinkles in out pathway and one of the challenges are what mechanisms we use to cope with it's challenges. Usually children learn things about life from their parents. Neither Joanne or Ryan were very good in showing positive ways to handle stress. So given that as a legacy it helps me to understand and empathize more with Tatum's addictions.
James, I wouldn't call that cheating. I once heard that what the parents do in moderation, the children will do in excess. It seems that in their case, it is true. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Thanks for the video! Loved Joanna Moore!
I am glad you enjoyed it Joanetta. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Saw her in ,"Route 66" 😀🌲
I'm very familiar with Joanna Moore. Brilliant and talented. Tatum O'Neal's mother. I can't believe how much tragedy Joanna had.
We never know what demons others are dealing with, even those close to us. Thanks for the comment.
She is perfect.
True statement T M. Thanks for watching.
Ernest T was only in 5 episodes but everybody knows who he is
JC you are so right. I think it has to do with wholesome family shows with characters that felt like you could get to know. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Howard Morris did appear in 1 episode that he wasnt earnest t bass he played the character George and if you look at the credits Howard Morris did direct the episodes he did appear in
@@norms3913 ya he was the tv repair man right
@@GoDawgs18 idk what character he played but he came up to the lake with barney when barney was looking for Andy and Helen
That guy was a nut lol fife used to call him that.
To me, there was no one else on the Andy Griffith show who had the talent and personality of Joanna Moore. She still stays in my mind.
Very True. Thanks for watching
@@BrotherTim You are very welcome.
