Betty Lynn – 94

Betty Lynn is a retired actress but started enhancing her talent in singing when she was at a very young age. It was her mother who taught her to sing. She looked up to her maternal grandfather as her own dad. Lynn started her career in radio before moving to Broadway. She eventually made her way into the big screen, landing her first film project in Sitting Pretty back in 1948. She officially retired in 2006.

Betty Lynn once bought a house in Los Angeles as an investment. She later had her mother and grandparents move into the house, giving her the off-screen caretaker role and a breadwinner. Betty never married, though she once said that she had been engaged. She also makes it a point to meet and socialize with her fans through her monthly appearances at the Andy Griffith Museum in North Carolina. She is now 94 years old, and we hope she is enjoying her retirement.
