| Rob Probably Remembers Maggie...........................Maggie Peterson, the singer and actress known for her recurring role on The Andy Griffith Show as Charlene Darling, the only daughter of a bluegrass-loving mountain family, has died. She was 81. Peterson died Sunday in Colorado, her family announced. They said her health “took a turn for the worse” in the wake of the December death of her husband, Las Vegas-based jazz musician Gus Mancuso. They were married for more than 40 years. Peterson first appeared on CBS’ The Andy Griffith Show as Charlene in 1963 near the end of the comedy’s third season when she leads her family in a bouncy rendition of “Salty Dog.” She showed up on four other episodes of the show through 1966 — once, she shared a wedding dress with Don Knotts, another time she sang “There Is a Time” — then played another character on the 1968 episode “A Girl for Goober” in the final season.    "Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?"
"I must be Pa. I love you, I have for a long time." | |

| Aw, very sorry to hear this. I think this leaves Elinor Donahue as the only surviving adult member of the cast. | |
