    If you know anything more about Lisa Seagram, please CONTACT ME.   She had a pretty memorable character in Edythe Brewster.  She was the much younger and attractive wife of oil magnate John Brewster.  Hubby was played by Frank Wilcox and appeared more heavily in the first season of the show (1962-1963).  In the first season, Jethro's mother Pearl Bodine tries extremely hard to make Mr. Brewster her husband.  "I just don't like the idea of marrying anyone," he keeps telling her.  Uh huh.  Then he turns around and marries a hotsy-totsy young city woman. 

    Edythe is definitely a bit pampered and certainly uptown, but she's not really snobbish.  She doesn't know what to make of the Clampetts' hospitality and it usually reduces her to tears, or at the very least, shock.  But she does appreciate their kind thoughts and doesn't get mad at them like Mrs. Drysdale would.  She's a working woman, too; an interior decorator from New York City.  Some of the rich women you see in this series do not have jobs, so I give Edythe credit.  Ms. Seagram was fortunate to have such an interesting character in Edythe Brewster.  She did many TV shows in the 1960s.  Fans of the "Batman" TV series will remember her as Lila in the episode "Louie the Lilac" opposite Milton Berle.  She also did some movies, mostly in the 1960s and two in the 1970s.  She wrote and directed (but didn't star in) the 1997 film "Paradise Pictures".
