Sleeping Beauty?
How could she have been an inspiration for a character in Sleeping Beauty(1959), when The Andy Griffith Show first aired in 1960? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.12.159.193 (talk) 03:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Good question, perhaps they were talking about another role she played earlier in her career, but anyway, it is uncited and needs to be removed. --rogerd (talk) 03:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The "inspiration" she gave was to one of the good fairies.  Regardless of her physical appeal when she was younger, if you look at the filmic good fairies (Flora etc) it is easy to see how she might have been so... in fact, she was one of the actresses used in footage made as reference for the animation.   When you see an early photograph of Bavier (e.g. in her 20's) you might easily believe she was the (perhaps more curvaceous) inspiration behind Sleeping Beauty herself.2602:30A:2C4A:1CB0:35D4:72C4:5026:C041 (talk) 03:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Unmarried?
The recent book "Andy & Don" (about Griffith and Knotts) says that Frances Bavier was briefly married to a stockbroker, I believe. I'm not changing the article myself because I don't have the book in front of me, and I don't want to get the details wrong. But this is worth looking into. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.202.206 (talk) 02:10, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Note of caution
The pin-up or cheesecake photos ostensibly of Frances Bavier that can be seen on the internet, appear actually to be Gloria deHaven. Don't be fooled! Tex (talk) 22:35, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Bavier in "The Bad Seed"??
Ms Bavier is credited here and at IMDb as an extra at a dinner party scene in "The Bad Seed". I have watched this film on DVD countless times, and I have never seen Ms Bavier, nor have I ever seen any "dinner party scene" or any other scene that could possibly be misconstrued as a dinner party.

There is a post-lunch scene with Evelyn Varden and Nancy Kelly (and two men), hardly what you could call a dinner party. Maybe someone has confused Ms Varden for Ms Bavier? There is also a simultaneous school picnic, which is certainly not a dinner party, nor is Ms Bavier to be seen there, either.

Or maybe Ms Bavier appeared in the stage version on Broadway, which for all I know could have had a dinner scene?

Can anyone confirm that "The Bad Seed" contains a dinner party scene where Frances Bavier appears? Or even just a dinner party? JeffoftheNE (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
