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.”
Cady had a recurring role as Doc Williams on “The Adventures of Ozzie
and Harriet” and had guest roles in TV series beginning in the early
1950s. He also had small parts in films, most notably Alfred
Hitchcock’s “Rear Window,” and appeared in Southern California stage
productions.
He was born Sept. 8, 1915, in the Lassen County town of Susanville and
studied drama at Stanford University. After serving in the military
during World War II, he worked as a radio broadcaster before landing
acting jobs.
Cady and his wife, Shirley, moved to Oregon in the 1990s. She died in
2008.
Reflecting on his TV career, Cady told the Portland Oregonian in 1995,
“You get typecast. I’m remembered for those shows and not for some
pretty good acting jobs I did other times. I suppose I ought to be
grateful for that. Because otherwise I wouldn’t be remembered at all.
I’ve got to be one of the luckiest guys in the world.”

Are there any members of the cast of Green Acres alive, other than
maybe some of the crossover characters from Petticoat Junction.
