I wonder why, in the remainder of the film her roll decreased notably and she appeared lightly in few scenes. I always think that she would deserve something more bright for the profit of this nice film.

It's still entertaining and a breath of fresh air compaired to the shows they put out now. I believe it's the wonderful cast that makes it as fresh today as it was before. Also so many issues about women's rights were covered. Quite a surprise to see it was so progressive for it's time.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921935123191324881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-4512897679545497032021-12-31T14:37:05.717-08:002021-12-31T14:37:05.717-08:00I wonder if something happened to her.

He had evidently retired from acting after his last role in 1965, then joined the United States Navy at 19 years of age, during the Vietnam War years.<br /><br />Winkelman's last acting role was in a 1965 episode of 'The Munsters' titled "Follow That Munster," from that sitcom's first of two seasons, and also interesting because Winkelman's last known employment (after his U.S. Navy service) was as a groundskeeper at Universal Studios in Hollywood, where 'The Munsters' was filmed 1964-66. <br /><br />In fact, 'The Munsters' was created by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, the same writing and production team which created 'Leave It to Beaver," in which Michael Winkelman's younger sister, Wendy Winkelman, had portrayed the first "Violet Rutherford," the daughter and sister, respectively, of regular series characters "Fred Rutherford (Richard Deacon) and "Clarence 'Lumpy' Rutherford" (Frank Bank). The second "Violet" was played by Veronica Cartwright. But Wendy Winkelman as "Violet" was the one who gave "Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver" (Jerry Mathers) a black eye, which prompted father "Ward Cleaver" (Hugh Beaumont) to give his youngest son boxing lessons, with "Beaver" practicing with a plastic bounce-back punching bag serving as the model for "Violet," and to which "Beaver" uttered one of his frequent boyish malaprops, "Don't get 'gressive with me, 'Vi-o-let Ruther-ford!"<br /><br />Besides his most well-known and longest-lasting role in 'The Real McCoys," Michael Winkelman's other longer-lasting acting gigs were his 1963 portrayals of various high school students in episodes of the M-G-M-produced high school drama "Mr. Novak," which stared James Franciscus in the title role of idealistic new English teacher "John Nova" and Dean Jagger as the wryly wise principal "Albert Vane."<br /><br />Post-'McCoys', Michael Winkelman also found work in two other Danny Thomas-produced TV sitcoms (which, like 'The McCoys', was filmed at Desilu), 'The Danny Thomas Show' and 'The Joey Bishop Show', in the latter portraying a fellow fraternity pledge along with "Rusty Williams" (Rusty Hamer), who was semi-recurring in a crossover role from 'The Danny Thomas Show' with "Rusty" as the nephew of Bishop's "Joey Barnes" character, living in his apartment while he attended college.<br /><br />Another memorable TV role for Winkelman was in the January 27, 1957 episode of 'Lassie," wherein "Jimmy Travis" (Winkelman) must leave his own beloved canine behind and in the care of his new friend "Jeff Miller" (Tommy Rettig) after his father obtains new employment in a big city, the dog refusing food and keeping a vigil by the place he last saw his boy master, at the "Calverton" train depot. <br /><br />Sad that Michael Winkelman, a once memorable face in television, disappeared after he became an adult, didn't even live long enough to participate in the TV reunion of the series with which he was most associated. But for the "Baby Boomer" generation that lanky blond boy will always remain "Little Luke."jimmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16408405337267909111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-25000224330914288312021-02-27T09:02:30.572-08:002021-02-27T09:02:30.572-08:00If all Americans watched the Real McCoy's, we&...If all Americans watched the Real McCoy's, we'd all be better off as a nation!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917191996131577137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-31600398681708587182021-02-23T10:43:40.882-08:002021-02-23T10:43:40.882-08:00Enjoying the entire shows from the beginning on Fi...Enjoying the entire shows from the beginning on Filmrise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844687397438297751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-36480100972121126192021-02-05T17:54:09.811-08:002021-02-05T17:54:09.811-08:00Im always watching The Real McCoys...

I'm sure the only living star from High Society. What a great film and honor to have been a part of that movie. Lydia was delightful! Just watched it again and we are thrilled to be going to Newport, Rhode Island (next year) where this movie was filmed (or some of it). Also enjoyed Lydia in the Real McCoys. We live in California too. Would love to be in touch with Lydia and invite her to stay with us in Newport and share her story of these great stars. Happy Birthday Lydia on August 23 this year - a special year. Have a good one. Hope you are well and enjoying beautiful memories and a happy life in California.
