Yes,she was known as a lesbian to insiders in Hollywood. Bavier was born in 1902 and reportedly hated men and also did not like children.She was never married and said to be very difficult on the set.She suffered from mental-health problems and was easy to anger.had a short temper and could be very nasty.In her later years,long after the show ended,she reportedly lived in an untidy house with about 13 cats.Neighbors always complained that it stunk of cat urine and mildew. She also reportedly dated some women here and there and passed them off as "good friends." In those days,people were never candid or honest about their sexuality. She was basically a loner and nothing much ever became of her romantic relationships.She died alone at age 86,leaving us to wonder today,...was sweet and chubby Aunt Bea,a big,old lesbian ?...The answer,she sure was !

In today's language, she would most likely be referred to as an aromantic or asexual lesbian. But, she was born in an era in the US that didn't really make it comfortable for people to be open and out about their sexual orientation, so it's difficult to make a completely accurate assessment. I would hazard a guess that she also lived her life with Autism Spectrum Disorder/Asperger's Syndrome.
Frances Bavier, which means ( Bavarian) in French was an actress who played the senior citizen, motherly type Aunt Bea ( pronounced Bee) on the old Andy Griffith program. She is , obviously, no longer living. I have never heard this hinted at.- that she was a Lesbian. There have been actresses bent that way, but not to my knowledge her. PS I am not one of her fans and if she were still alive ( she isnt) probably would not recognize her picture.
I think she found pleasure in licking vagina some of us do and some don't but to say she's a full blown lesbian is pretty lame because even out of the closet lesbians I know are just scared of the big dong that slaps their heads other than licking the cream is GREAT!!
