Ruta Lee!

Being a boomer, I know good television. Not like that crap they got today. There were several actresses back then who did the round of all the shows. Ruta Lee was a fixture on all of them. Perry Mason, Maverick, Andy Griffith, and my personal  favorite, The Virginian. I most recently spotted her on an episode of Gunsmoke. Reading her bio on IMDB was interesting. A Canadian by birth (1935), she graduated Hollywood High School in Los Angeles in 1954. Another thing that surprised me was finding out she was a conservative. For some reason I’m always astounded when a pretty blonde actress type turns out not to be an airhead. That and she always seemed sweet as all get out.
