Martha Hyer
Played "Tracy Richards"
episode:
"The Richest Woman" January 5, 1966
She gave an incredible performance in her one
and only
appearance in the series. Hyer is a bit older than most Beverly
Hillbillies Beauties; 41 at the time this episode was filmed. She
only looks to be early thirties. "THE Tracy Richards," as the
Clampetts are led to believe she is named, is the world's richest
woman, spoiled, and highly egotistical. She's used to buying
anything she wants on sight for any price, and she sets her sights on
the Clampett mansion. The Clampetts do not want to sell their
house, and she schemes for the entire episode on how to make Jed sell
it. Tracy is a total b-word in the truest sense of the word as
she tries to play Jed's family against him and later seduce Jed into
selling his house. Nothing works, and she gets completely and
totally frustrated. It's incredibly funny. Tracy's only
redeeming quality is that she looks HOTTER than Hades. In the
final scenes of the show, you'll see her wearing a very tight and
pretty red dress. How come women don't wear dresses like that
anymore? Martha Hyer gives a memorable comedic performance as the
ultimate snobbish beauty.
