Guess Who This Is In Drag?

mjm

thought it was David Wayne at first, then I saw Irene Ryan and immediately recognized it was Jethrine Bodine. looks like an Elly May drag queen

NSRob

Speaking of which.... If Jethro's Beverly Hillbillies Mansion & Casino ever happens, Granny's White Lightnin' Bar will have bartenders that are dressed like granny.and who do bottle twirling.

No, really. :) http://www.jethroscasino.com/g...

Tampontammy

Max Baer Jr. in the Beverly Hillibillies

Jejunemoon

Dick Shawn in drag is the spitting image of Elaine Stritch!!

Michael Gardner

It's Jethro Clampett, right?

Wicked

Yes. It's Max Baer Jr (who played Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies) as Jethro's sister Jethreen.

Jack E. Jett

yes Jethrine Bodine..daughter of Pearl Bodine and longtime assumed closet case.

Is he D or A?

MSpeer

I thought that was cousin Pearl with her back to us!

Jack E. Jett

now i am confused at to how pearl was related to the granny and jed....

i know that she later ran the hotel in petticoat junction...the shady rest.

Greatest line in TV history, on Gloria Swanson's Very Special Hillbillies ep:

"Bugtussle is the nicest thing that ever happened to me!"

Melinda9

It seems like there were some dark secrets in Bugtussle.

Jack E. Jett

Would it be out of line for me to suggest that maybe incest was involved somehow? I mean, you know how those "mountaineers" are.

Melinda9

I looked it up and it wasn't clarified much, but Pearl Bodine was Jed's cousin. And Jed was also related somehow to Kate Bradley, the proprietor of the Shady Rest on Petticoat Junction who was also played by Bea Benederet.

Movielover

Wasn't Pearl Jed's sister?

Savannah Montgomery

He's 74 yrs old and still alive...thanks to Granny's "elixirs"

Savannah Montgomery

Unfortunately Miss Drysdale (Nancy Kulp) stopped chasing him after she realized she was a lesbian and he not a drag king...Kulp died in 1991

Jonster

Irene Ryan who played Grannie had a few great numbers including that one about "It's Time to Start Living" in Pippin. She came offstage and, uh, stopped living.

Savannah Montgomery

that's what happens when you type in a hurry..thx.

Movielover

I think she was Miss Hathaway. Or Miss Jane.

Nina

Oops. That would be Max Baer "Jr."

Ron Bruguiere

Dick Shawn hunky? That's like sayin' Lassie was a poodle.

Patches

Who said Dick Shawn was hunky??? He said the guy in drag we were supposed to guess about (Max Baer Jr) was hunky, but he was offering a free shot of Dick Shawn.

Ron Bruguiere

Well, if it's Max Baer, Jr we're suppose to be judging as a hunk, oy vey, what is this world coming to!

Movielover

Loved him in Myra Breckenridge! He played alter ego/past identity of Raquel Welch. A riot of a '70s movie.

Ron Bruguiere

I was too busy working nights at the theater to ever see it, and all I can say about Rex Reed is that having had dinner with him and friends one evening, he never shuts up.

Movielover

Ron, didn't you ever watch the Beverly Hillbillies? Jethro was adorable on that show! He and Rex Reed (he was on talk shows) were 2 of my fave fantasies when I was about 12 years old.
