Lori was one of my heartthrobs when I was a kid.
Amen to that.
She looks absolutely FANTASTIC for her age. I always loved Petticoat Junction. It was such good, clean fun.
Agree with there.
She was without a doubt my favorite. She was always the one I liked to watch, heck I don't think I saw the others very much at all. I was smitten big time.😍😩
Glad to know that you're a fan of Lori! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your message for her. If we may ask, which episode is the most memorable for you?
Not sure which was my favorite as I was a young lad. So I'd have to say all of them. She was hot in everything she did. Great actress.
She's the only thing I paid attention to on that show.
Lori was a wonderful actress on Petticoat Junction. She was very lovely and talented. She was a great fit for the role of Bobbie Jo Bradley. It's good to hear about Lori Saunders.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse One Dozen Roses is favorite episode.
It is absolutely amazing that Lori and her husband have been married and will together ever since 1961... simply amazing !
I wish Lori noting but the best and thank you for the years of entertainment she provided viewers and fans like myself.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Lori was my favorite Petticoat girl. She was gorgeous.
Us too! Thanks for bringing back memories. Which episode is the most most memorable for you?
Me too. She was quite the looker!!
My favorite also !
I remember her well, and I'm glad she's doing well today.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Lori! If we may ask, which episode of PJ is the most memorable for you?
Of all the actors and actresses who appeared on this show the one who enjoyed the most successful post-PETTICOAT JUNCTION career was the dog! '"Benji" starred in a series of films that proved wildly popular with kids in the 70s. If memory serves, Sam Drucker was the missing link between PETTICOAT JUNCTION and GREEN ACRES. He served as the supply store owner on both shows.
What are you talking about? Gunilla Hutton had a 20 year career on he haw afterwards
I have seen a few episodes of this show and will view the whole series in due time. I wish Lori the best in health and happiness.
There was another actress (Gloria Talbot February 7, 1931- September 19, 2000) who, to me, looked just like Lori Saunders. Gloria, who was 10 years older than Lori, was all over television series like Gunsmoke during the late 50's and 60's.
Although Lori and Gloria looked similar imo, I always felt Lori was the better actress.
I just love this little girl ,just classic beautiful actress ,she should have a bigger role on petticoat junction and Dusty's Trial
Congrats . With your future ,husband of 63 years. God bless. ❤🎉😊
Another good Missouri person
Bobbie Jo was my favorite. She was the girl next door and like the girl I hoped to marry when I was older.
So nice to hear a young star outgrow her superficial fame and be the person that was important to herself. Screw everybody else… they have never, or will ever live in her skin that she will be in until her life on this planet is sent to the next great adventure. She got it!!!
I record Petticoat Junction off of Decades channel every weekday so I can watch it in the evening when I get home from work.😀👍
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show! Thank you so much for sharing your story. If we may ask, who is your favorite cast member?
@@FactsVerse I’m going to have to say Uncle Joe.😀👍
I love the girls though, so incredibly beautiful!!
Lori is one of the most beautiful women to appear on US TV. her husband is very lucky.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which Petticoat Junction episode is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse S5E11. green sweater dress shows off her goddess-like figure. for other episodes, the producers very deliberately gave her the most mundane wardrobe.
Lori Saunders was my favorite Bobby Jo Bradley. But, my favorite character on Petticoat Junction is, was, and always will be Uncle Joe. Edgar Buchanan was simply delightful in that role.
She have to be a really good person to love animals. Thank you for the video.
You're very much welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
Only watched a few episodes of Petticoat Junction, but all the girls portrayed their individual roles well. 🤗

@@FactsVerse Denzel Washington
When Lori Sanders replaced the original Bobbi Joe played by Pat Woodell they seem to dumb her down just a bit.
I noticed that they made her character an “airhead” during the last season or two of the show (after Bea’s death).
The only reason us young guys wanted to watch but it was a hilarious show
I had forgotten that she was in Dusty's Trail! As kids we knew that show was bombing! Gunilla Hutton also only stuck around Petticoat Junction for about a year before heading over to Hee-Haw and made way for Meredith Mac Rae to finally take over the role and become most associated with it!
There a blast from the past, have not seen Dusty's trail since the seventies. It reminds of Gilligan's island the wagon train is lost, those who have seen it will know what Iam raving on about.
A few years ago I happened upon an online contact email address for Lori Saunders. A sort of ‘ask the TV star a question’, if you will. When I wrote a quick ‘polite’ note complimenting the TV show, and asking a couple of meaningless questions, I never heard anything back? Sort of disappointing. 😢
I did the same a coupla years ago. Lori replied with a short quick answer, but it was 6 months later!
Why was there a commercial in the middle of the video? I pay for no commercials.
She is so nice and beautiful little
Luv her
Although the girls on Petticoat Junction were all beautiful, I definitely thought Lori Saunders was the all-around best looking of them all.
Because her birthname was Linda, and there was already a Linda among the cast members of PJ.
Her character was my favorite of the sisters.
You showed Jeannie Riley and Gunilla Hutton, which incidentally were two cast members of the TV show Hee Haw
Apologies, we'll check the video!
I liked them all even the dog ! Of course uncle Joe reminded me of Snuffy Smith being lazy or conniving. But I loved the whole cast even the new ones like June Lockhart
You're a true fan! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
You didn't match up correct photos to your narrations, such as sed Adam West and Meredith MacRae. That wasn't Adam West in the beach photo. Who was the other blonde? Apparently there were a total of 3 blondes, not two. Poor research and editing guys.
That sir was actor,William Campbell.
@@rexwallace9477 ...and not Adam West.
Three blondes, in order, were Jeannine Riley, then Gunilla Hutton (Hee Haw), then Meridith McRae.
Uncle Joe was my favorite part, but Lori kept me watching years of reruns.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which Petticoat Junction episode is the most memorable for you?
The hooterville honeys, That's what they are....Beautiful
The ad in this video is NOTHING I’ve ever seen before!! “Watch the next 6 minutes of this ad before you can continue with the end of this 4 minute video. Time to load my shotgun and shoot my iPad and go back to playing my Nintendo NES from 40 years ago on my old CRT 32” TV.
Beautiful woman, always had a crush on when I was young watching Petticoat J. Always thought she was the hottest!!!!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lori! Which episode of the show is the most memorable for you?
O geez, I really cannot remember. I just remember always getting buggy eyed as a little kid when she came into a scene. Other than being gorgeous she always came off as being really sweet and nice.!!
She was the prettiest of all of them 🤔
Looks like veggies does a body good, uncle Joe had it going on he must have been about 80 yrs old since I remember him acting when he was young
Lon Chaney said:Them TV gals make me feel weird
I was 5 and 6 when Lori Saunders came onto Petticoat... those eyes and her smile !! I had a crush on her and didn't even know it.!!! AND Eva Gabor, on my all time favorite, Green Acres !!! She was so sexy and pretty to this 6 year old..
Thank you so much for sharing your life story and your favorites! Which Green Acres episode appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse all except the Hawaiian one at the end of the series. Anytime Mr. HANEY or Mr. KIMBALL was driving Oliver nuts... Comedy gold every time!
I don't get it, why do you think Lori Sanders is so weird??
I never realized it until recently, but they're actually bathing in the hotel's water tower!
@@JustMe-pc2ii The same water tower that the guests get their water from! Gross!
No, the water tower was used for the train, a steam locomotive. They used it as a swimming pool not a bathtub.
The tower they swam in was used strictly for the Train and benefit for it's maintenance at the Train Stop. It was absolutely not the Hotel Drinking at the ShadyRest.
@@fredahines1834 I certainly hope not!
That water tower was built in 1939 and was located just south of Jamestown, California, on the west side of the tracks. It burned down about 20 years ago in a sweeping wildfire. A replacement tower was built on the same foundation and stands today, using the same hardware as the original.
It was their uncle
Why did she change her birth name?
Good lawd she is a hot fox
There's Uncle Joe.....
Uncle Joe
Prefer Gunilla Hutton

Have to say I was 14 when she played the show

THE OTHER GIRLS WERE ALSO GOOD LOOKING
THE BLONDE WAS ON HEE HAW
VERY PRETTY
LORI WAS MY DREAM

In the late 70's a pornstar took the name Loni Saunders because she resembled this beauty.
