Betty Lynn

Retired actress Betty Lynn was one of the industry’s top-notch talents back in the days. Her most notable role throughout her professional career was her portrayal of Thelma Lou in the hit sitcom The Andy Griffith Show. She also lent her acting skills to a couple of films, including the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie back in the 50s and Meet Me in Las Vegas. She starred in other projects along the way, including Sitting Pretty, and Mother is a Freshman, Payment on Demand, and Return to Mayberry.

For her successful career, Betty became a highly regarded member of her hometown in North Carolina and has even taken credit for the Long Leaf Pine Order, the highest civilian honor granted in the state. She is residing in an assisted-living facility in Mount Airy. Once a month, Betty gets to visit the town and perhaps even share a few good laughs with her fans.
