That was Jean Carson.
She also recurred on "Andy Griffith." She and Joyce Jameson played "the Fun Girls," Daphne and Skippy, who showed up from time to time to flirt with, and cause headaches for, Andy and Barney.

Thanks for the intel. Those "Fun Girls" really loved Cousin Goober's Cary Grantr impersonation -- "Judy-Judy-Judy-Judy!"

Actually Goober's Larry Storch's Cary Grant impersonation.

Now, sewing his fingers together--that was all Goob.

The funny thing is, I've often heard that the whole Judy, Judy, Judy thing
is an urban legend. Or, more precisely, that Cary Grant never said that
line on-camera (i.e., in a film).

Which then begs the question: Where did it come from?
(If not in a film, then where?)

Larry Storch says he was onstage at a Hollywood nightclub doing his Cary Grant impression when Judy Garland walked in, and he spontaneously said to her "Judy, Judy, Judy!" It caught on, and people doing an impression of Grant ended up doing an impression of Storch doing Grant.

From https://www.carygrant.net/articles/judy.htm

Peter Bogdanovich believes that the genesis of the imitation came from
Grant's delivery in several lines in Only Angels Have Wings.. 'In the
film his former girl friend is called Judith or Judy (played by Rita
Hayworth). Cary has lines like "Hello, Judy. Come on, Judy. Now, Judy."
But he never said "Judy, Judy, Judy." '

Judy Quine has another explanation: 'Cary told me back in 1955 that
when he did the Lux Radio Theater, they used his voice introduction for
Judy Garland, who was a guest for the following week. He recalled some
banter where he could have said "Judy, Judy, Judy," but he wasn't
sure.'

Although Grant must have tired of being constantly asked to say the
line, he always obliged when women named Judy asked him to say 'Juday,
Juday, Juday.' And Rich Little admires Grant's sense of humor about it:
'Cary said [Little imitating CG], "Where is this 'Juday, Juday, Juday'
coming from? I don't know anybody named Juday-Juday-Juday. The only
Judy I knew was Judy Garland. And when I saw her, there weren't three
of 'em!" '

During the making of Charade Peter Stone used to joke with Grant about
'Judy, Judy, Judy.' He recalls: "While we were shooting the taxi scene
- right near the end of the picture where Audrey's feet are up in his
lap and he's massaging them - Cary looked at the camera and said [Stone
imitating CG] "Juday, Juday, Juday. There. Now you've got it on film!'"

As late as the 1980's Grant was still answering questions about the
phrase, and during on of his Conversations he offered still another
speculation on how it came about.

CG: We looked up track after track and outtake after outtake. As far
as we can tell, I never said it. We think it started with a celebrity
impersonator by the name of Larry Storch. He apparently was appearing
in a nightclub and doing me when Judy Garland walked in. And that's how
he greeted her.

Who Knew Him Best" by Nancy Nelson)
