Well into its fourth season when the year 1961 dawned, The Real McCoys had risen to #5 in the
ratings for the 1960-61 season and the producers obviously decided to leave
well enough alone by trotting out familiar plots and recycling stories from
previous seasons. But they were dealt an unexpected blow when filming the
second show of the year, "The Horse Expert" (January 19, 1961), when
actress Kathy Nolan was thrown from a horse during filming and was placed in
"pelvic traction to relieve a pinched sciatic nerve," according to
the February 18 edition of TV Guide.
With Nolan bedridden, the show's writers danced around her absence in the next
episode, "The City Boy" (January 26, 1961), by explaining that she
was in Bakersfield tending to her sick mother.
Her continued absence is brought up again in "The
Rival" (February 16, 1961) when it is explained that she is still at her
mother's and that her mother has the flu, though Kate says in a letter that a
young male neighbor has been particularly helpful during her mother's illness.
Kate includes a photo of the attractive young man with her letter, immediately
arousing Luke's jealousy but providing the producers an opportunity to flash
back to the Season 1 episode "The Lady's Man" when Luke has a similar
streak of jealousy that backfired on him. The archival footage from the earlier
episode takes up the bulk of the 1961 episode, thereby giving the show a pass
for one more week during Nolan's absence. A month later, realizing that Nolan
would not be back for a while, the producers introduced a temporary
replacement, young Swedish housekeeper Helga with the explanation that Kate's
visit to Bakersfield would be extended because she hurt her back while helping
her mother. As soon as the young, attractive Helga shows up, rumors begin
swirling in town about Luke having an affair with her. Luke's first response is
to sack Helga to squelch the rumors, but after a stern talking-to by Amos, he
decides to hire her back. Toward the end of the episode he gets a phone call
from Kate, who is shown in bed after just having a visit from Valley busybody
Mrs. Murdock. Kate chides Luke for not telling her how young and attractive
Helga is but she is proud that he finally stood up to the gossipers in hiring
her back.
Helga figures prominently two episodes later in
"Baseball vs. Love" (March 30, 1961) when Little Luke develops a
crush on her and despite the large disparity in their ages asks her to marry
him when he gets a little older. When he realizes that in order to keep Helga
he will have to give up playing on the local baseball team, Little Luke decides
to let her out of their agreement, not realizing that she had only been playing
along to spare his feelings. Helga makes her fifth and final appearance in the
episode "George Retires" (April 13, 1961), though she does not figure
prominently in the plot. After not airing an episode on April 20, two more
episodes aired without Kate or Helga before Nolan finally returned to the
series in the episode "Kate Comes Home" (May 11, 1961), though she is
still confined to bed and the plot revolves around Hassie's attempt and failure
to fill in for her. Helga's disappearance is never explained.
While the show continued to feature its share of
misogynistic plots (as discussed in our post on the 1960 episodes) after
Nolan's return, Kate's character is afforded a few opportunities to show her
worth, even if it comes with a healthy dollop of caveat. In "Kate's
Competition" (August 17, 1961), Luke is impressed with the accomplishments
of Kate's friend Alice Carter when they are invited over to dinner one evening.
Alice makes ceramic dishes, paints in oils, sells real estate, and helps out at
a charity, on top of serving a delicious dinner with remarkable coffee. So Kate
feels that she has to do likewise to keep Luke's approval, only in doing do she
fails at all of her new endeavors and her housework suffers due to neglect.
Luke and Amos learn after Kate is at her wit's end that Alice actually doesn't
do any of the housework or cooking in her own home--her husband Charlie handles
all of the stereotypical "women's work." Luke and Amos then volunteer
to help Kate out with her housework so that she has more time for her other
activities, but she tells them she has given them up and is going back to being
a full-time housekeeper. This episode manages to show a successful untraditional
division of household labor for the Carters but ultimately settles for the
status quo for the McCoys. In "Honesty Is the Best Policy" (November
9, 1961) Kate is the voice of moral authority when she refuses to allow Amos
and Luke to swindle businessman Mr. Bentley who wants to lease their roadside
stand to sell hot dogs and orange juice. Amos and Luke talk up how much traffic
they typically get on any given day so that Bentley agrees to pay them $100 per
month for a six month lease. But when Kate hears about the deal, she forces
them to lower their price to $50 and include a clause in their contract
allowing Bentley to back out if traffic turns out to be much different than
they had represented. However, it turns out that Bentley has swindled them by
not telling them he knows that all highway traffic is due to be diverted past
their stand for the next six months while construction is taking place. Amos
upbraids Kate for allowing them to be duped and says she should stick to the
kitchen, but she goes to see a lawyer who says that the clause about traffic
being other than expected cuts both ways--providing the McCoys with a legal way
to break the lease and get the use of their stand back. Seeing that he has been
saved from a scam, Amos reverses course and tells Kate she can meddle in
whatever she wants to.
But outside of Kate most other women we encounter on The Real McCoys are schemers and
gold-diggers. Amos has to save Pepino from a disastrous marriage in
"Pepino's Wedding" (April 27, 1961) after it is clear that Pepino's
wife would wear the pants in the family. George MacMichael has to be saved from
catastrophic unions on two occasions--in "George's Housekeeper"
(September 28, 1961) and in "Cyrano McCoy" (November 16, 1961). In
both cases Amos is the one who gets George in a fix, telling him to hire a pretty
housekeeper while his sister Flora is away in the former episode, and pawning
George off on the gold-digging "actress" Evie Dockweiler in the
latter episode after she first hooks Amos. But in both instances, once Amos
privately paints George as a poor farmer, rather than a wealthy landowner, to
his lady loves, they head for the hills. It's all part of Walter Brennan's
conservative vision of traditional roles for the sexes and a belief that simple
values are the best--not the glitter of riches.
But while The Real
McCoys was riding high in 1961, even with Nolan's prolonged absence, it was
soon toppled in 1962 with the emergence of The
Beverly Hillbillies, which swept to the top of the ratings while The Real McCoys vanished from the top
30. Of course, this turn of events also corresponded with Nolan leaving the
show in a contract dispute. Perhaps her departure hastened the show's demise,
but it was also obvious even during its heyday in 1961 that the producers and
writers had run out of original ideas and had begun resorting to recycling
plots from one season to the next. The show's reliance on simplicity may have
ultimately been its undoing.
All six seasons have been released as of this writing--the first
four seasons on DVD by Infinity Entertainment and the last two on DVD-R by SFM Entertainment.

Real McCoys.
Eva Norde
Little is known about actress Eva Norde, who was born in
Sweden and notched her first film credit when she was introduced as the McCoys'
temporary housekeeper Helga in the Season 4 episode "The Swedish Girl."
She appeared in 5 episodes in 1961 while Kathy Nolan was away, but her
character was jettisoned without explanation once Nolan returned. In 1962 she
made guest appearances on Hawaiian Eye,
Surfside 6, The Patty Duke Show, and The
Dick Powell Theatre, but these were her last appearances on American
television. In 1963 she sued talk-show host Steve Allen for $200,000 after
appearing on his show, during which he revealed her address and phone number.
Norde claimed in her suit that leaking her personal information forced her to
move and change her phone number, resulting in lost job opportunities. Her
television career resumed in Sweden some 30 years later as a studio manager for
TV movies and series such as Marquis de
Sade, Tomtomaskinen, Sleeping Beauty, and Bouncers! in 2000, the last year for
which she has credits listed on imdb.com.

Why would Steve Allen reveal on TV Eva Norde unlisted phone number and home address?
ReplyDeleteCould it be connected to Allen's reputation for affairs with women outside his marriage?
That's what i figure. What a nasty bum he was. O never enjoyed anything Steve Allen did. He effectively ruined that woman's career
