Betty Lynn, Thelma Lou on ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ was a proud patriot who supported troops before fame
“I was very patriotic, as most people in those days were, and I wanted to do something for the war effort… I convinced Mother that this was what I wanted to do. Even though Mother was very scared for me… she signed the papers allowing me to join the USO.” – Fox News, August 30, 2022
