“He was absolutely terrified, excited, overwhelmed—everything about this movie because it was the one he left The Andy Griffith Show to do,” Karen explained. “I mean, he left for the five-picture deal, but on this one, I just remember him being extremely nervous, pacing around the house, and just completely consumed with it. He had his own little bungalow at Universal Studios with an office and a secretary. He would go down there to work with the writers. He actually hired Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, who were two of the top writers on The Andy Griffith Show. Part of his nervousness is that he didn’t have the safety net of The Andy Griffith Show.”
Don starred in many more projects throughout his career, including The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Reluctant Astronaut, and The Shakiest Gun in the West. He won five Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Comedy.
Don died in 2006 due to complications from lung cancer. He was 81.
