Mom and I were watching Gomer Pyle USMC on METV and I would like to know if there is any surviving actors from Gomer Pyle USMC? Because I do know that Jim Nabors is no longer living but what about the other actors from the show?

Forrest Compton (Colonel Gray)
Ronnie Schell (Duke Slater)
Elizabeth MacRae (Louann Poovie)

Elizabeth MacRae lives about 40 minutes from me near Fayetteville, NC.

Here is Ronnie Schell on a local TV show about Mayberry Days with the man who does Barney Fife. He is now probably over 80 then and you wouldn’t recognize him but has the same voice. The host showed a young picture of Schell and Schell humorously lamented “Who was that young man?”
