}} Patricia Joy "Pat" Woodell (July 12, 1944 – September 29, 2015) was an American actress and singer, best known for her television role as Bobbie Jo Bradley from 1963 to 1965 on ''Petticoat Junction''. ==Career== Woodell was born July 12, 1944, in Winthrop, Massachusetts.〔 Initially hoping to be a singer, she made some appearances as a teenager in Catskill Mountains hotels before making her acting debut in a 1962 episode of ''Cheyenne'', entitled "The Vanishing Breed". She would go on to appear on the shows ''Hawaiian Eye'' (1963), ''The Gallant Men'' (1963), ''GE True'' (1963), and ''77 Sunset Strip'' (1963). She also appeared in the anti-communist film ''Red Nightmare'' (1962).〔 (archive link requires scrolldown)〕 Woodell is best remembered for being the first Bobbie Jo Bradley, one of three teenage sisters, on the CBS sitcom, ''Petticoat Junction''; which began its run in 1963. She played the book-smart character for the sitcom's first two seasons (1963–1965), a total of 64 (out of 74) episodes, before she left the series in the spring of 1965. In several episodes she performed musical numbers, including one called "The Ladybugs". The Ladybugs (a take-off on the Beatles) was a singing group composed of Bobbie Jo and her TV sisters Linda Kaye, Jeannine Riley, together with Sheila James.〔 The Ladybugs also appeared on an episode of ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' during Woodell's run on ''Petticoat Junction''.〔 After leaving ''Petticoat Junction'', Woodell went on to have guest roles on a season three episode of ''The Hollywood Palace'' in 1965, and in one of the last episodes of ''The Munsters'' in 1966. She then toured as a singer, with Jack Benny, and recorded an album, but she did not achieve great popularity as a vocalist.〔 In 1971, Woodell made her film debut in ''The Big Doll House'', followed by three more "exploitation" type films, including ''The Woman Hunt'' (1972), ''The Twilight People'' (1972) and ''The Roommates'' (1973), but she did not break into mainstream feature films. Woodell retired from acting in 1973, after appearing on an episode of ''The New Perry Mason'', entitled "The Case of the Murdered Murderer". She soon went to work for Werner Erhard, in his est seminar organization, and subsequently co-founded a consulting firm, retiring in 2013.〔 Woodell never returned to acting, but appeared in a few documentaries about her days on ''Petticoat Junction''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pat Woodell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
