Sadie Hawkins!
From the comic strip “Li’l Abner,” here is an interesting article from 2015 at womenyoushouldknow.net called “The Ugly Truth Behind Sadie Hawkins Day.”
While Sadie was not a character depicted in the 1956 Broadway musical adaptation of “Li’l Abner,” Mammy Yokum was portrayed by … Charlotte Rae!
Sadly, Charlotte did not get to play the role in the 1959 film version. (It was played by Billie Hayes, future ‘Witchiepoo’ on “H.R. Pufnstuf.”) But there were two other future TV stars in the film… Valerie Harper (at left, future “Rhoda”) and Beth Howland (at right, future ‘Vera’ on “Alice”)!
