Personal Quote:

What's the secret to playing Sam Drucker? I just play myself. Sam Drucker and I are old friends. I played him on Petticoat Junction (1963), Green Acres (1965) and The Beverly Hillbillies (1962) and we were going strong until 1971, when Fred Silverman canceled every show with a tree in it.

Trivia:

His cremains are interred at Los Osos Valley Memorial Park, Los Osos, CA, in the same plot at his wife, Shirley, who predeceased him in 2008. See more »
