Bea Benaderet

1949 was a year when they really stepped up the production value, especially in sound effects and music, not to mention the stars, as I said.

In tonight's cast, along with Mr. Coleman features Hans Conried as Christopher Swan number two, Bea Benaderet as Margaret, Ben Wright as Constable Smithers, and Paul Frees as our signature voice.

This episode was written by William Fifield and adapted for radio by Herb Meadow, who went on to co-create Have Gun, Will Travel.

But in hearing the voice, I believe is a native English dialect, and knowing that Wright is English and Kearns is not, I believe Ben Wright is playing this role.

I also know Joan Kearns' inflections, and this is not his timbre or cadence.

We mentioned Bea Benaderet played Margaret, and she did such a great job that I completely forgot, you know, her other roles, such as Pearl on The Beverly Hillbillies and Kate on Petticoat Junction in her later life, where she achieved most of her fame.

She was also the voice of Betty Rubble on The Flintstones, in case you didn't know.

There was one, uh, of the cast members, uh, she appeared here and there, that was the voice of Betty Rubble on The Flintstones.

Her name was Bea Benaderet, who was a actress.

But anyway, it's the one thing I know about that show.

Uh, what else? Uh, the DOT, 1966, the Department of Transportation, President Johnson signed the bill creating it, so happy birthday to the DOT today.

... of the run of The Flintstones.
