Betty Lynn played Virginia Beasley, the postman's daughter, in an episode where Gracie throws her a baby shower.

Howard McNear (our lovable Floyd) played Cuthbert Jantzen, the Burns' plumber who was a widower with 4 college age daughters. Sort of a role reversal for Floyd, playing opposite ditzy Gracie and trying to keep track of her train of thought. It's recorded that he appeared in 10 episodes between 1953-1958, but it seems like more. Other TAGS alumni appearing are Doris Packer (Mrs. Wiley), Herb Vigran (Floyd's Bookie/Barber), Dan Tobin (Gentleman Dan Caldwell), William Schallert (Quiet Sam), Mabel Albertson (Mrs. Sprague), even Will Wright was in 3 episodes. I'm sure there were many more, too many to list. In it's 1950-1958 run I think every character actor that ever lived at the time appeared on this show.
