Brock Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Noooo! R.I.P. Sam Drucker. From the LA Times: By Claire Noland June 10, 2012, 1:22 p.m. Frank Cady, 96, a character actor who played Hooterville general-store proprietor Sam Drucker on the TV sitcoms “Green Acres” and “Petticoat Junction,” died Friday at his home in Wilsonville, Ore., said his daughter, Catherine Turk. No specific cause was given. Like Mr. Haney, Eb Dawson, Hank Kimball and Arnold the Pig, Cady’s Sam Drucker was a supporting cast member on “Green Acres” to lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas and his socialite wife, Lisa, played by Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, who had ditched the high life in New York City for the charms of a farm in Hooterville. Cady played Drucker for the entire run of “Green Acres” on CBS, from 1965 to 1971, when it was canceled. The show continued to air for years in syndication. He also portrayed Drucker on “Petticoat Junction” and “The Beverly Hillbillies,” programs that shared some secondary characters. He reprised the role for the 1990 TV movie “Return to Green Acres.” FULL OBIT: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-green-acres-frank-cady-dead-20120610,0,5690819.story "Zis has been a Filmvays presentation, Dahhlink."

Magster Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Awww! RIP Mr. Drucker. Haven't watched Green Acres in awhile, but I used to LOVE that show. I was just mentioning to my mom recently that Frank Cady was still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
