My Mother, who is now 92, claims that when she was a youngster- that Irene Ryan had a Radio Show called ToyTown Review, and that Ms. Ryan also was her first dance teacher. She always had a soft spot for the Beverly Hillbillies Show because that was her "Miss Ryan."

THANK YOU, To WHOMEVER posted this. Just look at how beautiful little “granny” was. It’s hard to believe that the Beverly Hillbilly’s show only ran for 9yrs, and Irene Ryan (Granny) was only 60 when she played that role. She’d already been so successful in pretty much every other genre of entertainment at that time. She died just a few years after the show was canceled. But even though this clip is of her in her much younger years, you CAN NOT mistake that voice. THAT WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND. So again I say Thank you to whomever found this, and posted it. I think Irene Ryan will forever be “Granny”, and it will always make me smile. If you want another Granny moment. Look her up her on KZitem singing “I’m a Woman” on the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Hollywood Palace Show. It is HILARIOUS!
