Early Life

Linda Kaye Henning was born on September 16, 1944 in Los Angeles, California to Ruth and Paul. Her father, a television producer and screenwriter, went on to create the hit television sitcoms "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Petticoat Junction."

Petticoat Junction

Henning rose to prominence in the 1960s for her role on the CBS television sitcom "Petticoat Junction." She played Betty Jo Bradley, the red-headed tomboyish daughter of Bea Benaderet's character Kate Bradley and the grandniece of Edgar Buchanan's character Uncle Joe Carson. The pair ran the rural Shady Rest Hotel. Betty Jo's sisters were Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo, both of whom were played by multiple actresses during the run of the show, although the best-known actresses in those roles were Meredith McRae and Lori Saunders, respectively. "Petticoat Junction" ran for seven seasons from 1963 until it was canceled as part of the so-called rural purge in 1970. Henning was one of only three cast members to remain for the entirety of that run, along with Buchanan and Frank Cady, who played Sam Drucker. She was billed as Linda Kaye for the first five seasons of the show and was then billed by her full name for the last two seasons.
