If you ever watched Lassie during the early 60's, which also filmed some
scenes in Mayberry, they had a similar operator Jenny played by Florence
Lake. At least we got to see her on occasion.

Something that really never made any sense to me is why in the world would
Sarah ever take the job as the telephone operator. She was "on call",
pardon the pun, 24/7 365 days a year. The poor lady must have had to eat
cold food all the time and she probably rarely took a bath. How d
I've been wondering about Sarah the operator and who pays her for her
services. Any ideas from anyone?

I found Gary's query interesting, "what did these unseen Mayberry girls look
like".
I would really like to have seen one of the objects of Ernest T. Bass'

since she was a mountain girl would she have resembled Idell Bushy?

When Sarah's name comes up, I picture the small-town operator portrayed by
Cissy Spacek in the film "Raggedy Man." She was stationed there by the phone
company after her hubby was killed in WWII and was also on duty nearly 24/7.
The switchboard was in the foyer of the little house if I remember
I always picture Sarah as a little old lady sitting in her bedroom in front
of the switchboard. The switchboard has to be close to her bed because she
answers it 24/7 She is always dressed in a robe because she never leaves the
house so why bother getting dressed each day. Because she doesn
e a lot of waitresses in southern diners who
looked and sounded like that.
I always thought Sarah to be a thin woman in her 50's who liked to talk and
wanted to keep up all the goings on in Mayberry ("Listenin' in again!). I
think she would look similar to the lady who talked ab
How fun to compare our different visions of the beloved Sarah!
I've always seen her as being very much like the town telephone operator in the
movie "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" - zaftig figure, wry
sense of humor and the holder of all the secrets in the tow
I picture Sarah as a real skinny older lady who wears a different color
shirtwaist to work every day. (maybe the pinch of snuff she takes occaisonally
is an appetite supressant).
Juanita, I think of as a blonde (right out of a bottle) with a little too much
eye makeup - and not a lot upstairs

I believe Sarah was also the telephone operator in The Real McCoys. I
don't see how she had time even to take a pinch of snuff now and then.

I just finished watching the episode where Andy catches Barney reciting a poem
to Juanita on the phone. I was just wondering if sarah and Juanita had last
names based on their characters what would they be. I know there was a Juanita
Beasley but was she the same one at the diner ?
I like Sarah
Thanks Janet, Mike and all for your comments on my Sarah and Juanita
pictures for Ken's PowerPoint.
You nailed it Janet, that was our own Andy Griffith with "The Waitress'.
As for Sarah, Mike (Soak it, Sarah, Soak it) that was just one day or
two that she had to apply Andy'
n exciting ride.
As for the photo of Sarah well I see no pale or bowl of hot water for soaking.
"Soak it Sarah, soak it in hot water"
"Just soak it sarah, just soak it"
Just thought I would give ya something to thunk about under that there bucket.

Wow! Big news. Ron Howard has cast Mayberry operator, Sarah in his new
movie Frost/Nixon. Sarah, the sister of Elmer Schwamp and best friend of
Laura Lee Hobbs has not acted in a long time. You may remember her as she
helped Andy solve the horserace betting problem in Mayberry. Ron was so
Someone asked about Sarah and how much they pay her. I doubt it's very much
since she gets all those fringe benefits like free medical advice from Andy,
free phone calls around the world, entertainment from listening in to other
people's conversations, get the idea. Plus she has al
"was Sarah a clone or just a superwoman?"
I think I know the answer. Sarah's mother (also named Sarah) did the same
thing George Foreman did and named all her daughters Sarah. That way, the
