The Andy Griffith Show Stars Posing in 1960
In 1960, the first episode of The Andy Griffith Show was broadcast to the world, helping give exposure to actors Andy Griffith, a young Ron Howard (who would add to his portfolio his being a great filmmaker), and Elinor Donahue. Here, they were captured for a promotional shot for the show. Elinor never remained with the show though, despite initially being penned as a love interest for Andy. After one season, she asked to be released from her contract. Her birth name was actually Eleanor but after changing it to Elinor, her career took off! Andy Griffith went on to star in several shows, including Matlock. He passed away in 2012.
