[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The actress who played Aunt Bea was 58 when the show started. So if you are looking for someone keep that age in mind. As a kid I loved the Great Brain series set in Utah in the late 1890’s. It’s was based on the life of the author. They had a widowed woman who lived with them since the death of her husband. Aunt Bertha, the author rote, “She wasn’t really our aunt, but we called her Aunt Bertha because she was just like one of the family.” So I think you need to look at someone in their late 50’s. I think there are women out there who would live that arrangement.[/quote] A woman's prospects for employment and/or marriage to a man who could support her were FAR more limited in 19th century Utah, than they are today.[/quote]
