I've been watching "MEtv" a broadcast station of classic of every genre and have seen Jean Willes many times with her lovely face and perfect profile, very much like a blonde Ava Gardner. But it was always in a Perry Mason or other drama or western; and she always did a creditable job. But she never overdid it, she just let her natural comfort in her roles carry her through the story. But finally I got to see her in comedy, where she really shines. She is a natural in this. I wish there had been more opportunities for her in comedy. She can do anything. I failed to mention the sexiness of those eyes, and a figure that she did not let us see except for her shapely lower legs.

Countess and the Hillbillies
hines-20002 April 2021
Our hillbilly heroes get some major support from high society in the form of The Countess (Jean Willes). It's easy to see why Willes became a fixture in films and television as she gave a wonderful spirited performance here. It certainly didn't hurt to have one of the most beloved character actors ever Burt Mustin as her chauffeur. The fracas begins when Mrs. Drysdale throws Granny's tonic in the cement pond. This sets off a chain of events that comedy series' dreams are made of.
