Paul Henning, 93; Created 'Beverly Hillbillies,' Other Comedies for TV
March 26, 2005|Dennis McLellan | Times Staff Writer
Paul Henning, the television writer and producer who created "The Beverly Hillbillies," which became one of the biggest hits of the 1960s and spawned the popular rural-comedy spinoffs "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres," died Friday. He was 93.
Henning, who had a series of minor strokes in recent years, died of natural causes at Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank, his family said.
After writing for radio's "Fibber McGee and Molly" in the late 1930s, Henning wrote for George Burns and Gracie Allen's radio and television shows. He also created, produced and wrote "The Bob Cummings Show," a popular situation comedy about a wolfish photographer; it ran from 1955 to 1959.
Inspired in part by memories of camping trips to the Ozarks as a Boy Scout, Henning came up with a fish-out-of-water idea for a series that made television history: A "poor mountaineer" unexpectedly strikes oil and moves his newly wealthy family out of a cabin in the Ozarks into a mansion in the hills of Beverly.
