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".
