Guest Stars and Others Who Appeared on Only One Episode of Andy Griffith

Many movie and television stars appeared as guest stars (though they were never referred to as such on the show) on TAGS.  Among the stars that were on the show were Buddy Ebsen, Charlie Ruggles, Edgar Buchanan, Everett Sloane, Alan Hale, Jr., Bob Denver, John Dehner, Jack Albertson, Leon Ames, and many others who appeared as "guest stars" on an episode of TAGS.  Elsewhere, I think I have my Jack Nicholson autograph in the comment section.  I am not including him here because he was in two episodes.

Wonderful photo, Scott! What a beautiful lady this woman was. I've seen her in many roles. You were lucky to have met her, my friend.

Thanks Sam.  Yes Julie Adams, Pat Priest and Jackie Joseph  were the nicest actresses I have met.  Julie Adams is close to 90 now but still does conventions.  I would like to see her again.

That is right Sam he was always good.  He often played a bad guy in westerns like Gunsmoke.  He is one of the few still living.  He played the owner of the store on the Island that Howard Sprague retired too in the TAGS episode.
