He was such a natural that I really believed we were peeking into Opie & his world on "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" and not a movie set (then again I was very young & a bit naive).
Andrew Samuel "Andy" Griffith (June 1, 1926 – July 3, 2012) was an American actor, director, producer, Grammy Award-winning Southern-gospel singer, and writer
(The Andy Griffith Show (1960–1968) Griffith starred as Sheriff Andy Taylor in The Andy Griffith Show . The show took place in the fictional town of Mayberry, North Carolina, where Taylor, a widower, was the sheriff and town sage. The show was filmed at Desilu Studios, with exteriors filmed at Forty Acres in Culver City, CA.)
Later I realized what an amazing actor he was in movies such as "A FACE IN THE CROWD".
Of course another generation remembers him as the no nonsense MATLOCK ( legal drama, starring Andy Griffith in the title role of criminal defense attorney Ben Matlock. The show originally aired from September 23, 1986 to May 8, 1992).
He died of a heart attack, after years of suffering from other illnesses, including coronary artery disease. He had high cholesterol or high triglycerides.
ODD: He was buried Tuesday morning less than five hours after he died.
HE WILL BE MISSED!--R I P
