Of the 7 Flatt
& Scruggs episodes from The Beverly Hillbillies TV series, Joi
Lansing appeared in 5 of them. She was Gladys, the bosomy blonde
wife of Lester Flatt! Lester,
as you may know, was one half of the extremely successful musical duo
Flatt & Scruggs (he played guitar), but significantly older than
his wife. The ongoing gag of their "Beverly Hillbillies"
appearances was that these two older country boys had absolutely
stunning young wives. Joi always filled out her clothes
pretty well on the show, especially
on top, and although she could
act most of the times you'll sit there in front of the screen going
"Ga! Ga! Ga!". But seriously, she was funny in a cute
sort of way and didn't play an airhead bimbo.
