Sarah the Mayberry telephone operator
Sarah was the telephone switchboard operator on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. She was never seen but was mentioned in 23 episodes of the sitcom that ran from 1960-1968. Mayberry residents would pick up a telephone and ask Sarah to get them another party on the line, usually someone in Mout Pilot, Noth Carolina. Sometimes she would eavesdrop and on other occasions, Andy or Barney would have a short conversation with her. If I had to imagine what she looked like I would say that Sarah resembled the woman in the cover photo.
