From all accounts......yes, perhaps. There was something there. As a HUGE fan of the show, and from doing research on the web.....Francis was NOT Aunt Bee. She was very anal when it came to some things. She didn't keep a tidy house. She was not as personable as her character. I am not sure what it was.....and trust me, I wish I knew....but she did not take to Andy....really at all. There is evidence presented on line, and in the TV Land and E! specials on the AGS.....that she did not like Andy. She especially did not like Earnest T Bass....when he was directing the show. He tried to rearrange the shoot on one show, and she flipped out on him. Francis called Andy once her death was certain, and apologized to him.....claiming that she was sorry that they didn't get along better.....citing it was "her fault". She died in the fall of 1989 in Siler City, NC.
