Bea Benaderet Facts
Attended St. Rose Academy High School and began her acting studies at the Reginald Travis School of Acting in San Francisco.

Was originally considered for the role of Granny in "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962), but got the part of Cousin Pearl Bodine instead.

In 1936, she joined Orson Welles on radio's "The Campbell Playhouse" and received her first big break when she became a regular on Jack Benny's big radio show, where she created memorable characters such as Gertrude Gearshift. A major radio staple at the time, her numerous appearances included the comedies "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," "The Great Gildersleeve" and "Fibber McGee and Molly." She also played Lucille Ball's best friend on radio's "My Favorite Husband," which was the precursor to TV's "I Love Lucy" (1951).
