I am an insatiable Barbara Eden fan all the way back from the 1950's

Barbara Eden to me was on of the most gorgeous women in show business. She was a fantastic comedian also. The Andy Griffith show ' the Manicurist' was awesome as another appearance she made on the I Love Lucy show. Any time there was a program on with Barbara Eden in it I would watch it. I would watch her in anything she did even if it was reruns. This program on the Andy Griffin show Barbara Eden shows up in Mayberry and gets off a bus. All the boys are in Floyds barber shop just yakking away. All of a sudden she is spotted. She gets a job in the barber shop but none of the men will get a manicure as it is not manly. Andy feels sorry for her so Andy gets a manicure. Then all the men are getting manicures on a daily basis. Well, the women of Mayberry will not put up with this as she ( Barbara Eden is much too beautiful) So the town women want her to live. Andy goes up to her to tell her what is happening and tells her that the LORD has been very good to her. That the town and the town women want her to leave town as she is single and much too pretty to be holding their men's hands while giving the manicure. Well the manicurist thinks Andy wants to marry her and she tells him that she would accept she is returning home and leaving Mayberry to marry her boyfriend. That is the reason she left in the first place. Happy ending for all. I wish her and all her endeavors the very, very best.
