Gunilla Hutton (born May 15, 1944) is a Swedish-born American former actress and singer,[1] perhaps best known for her roles as the second Billie Jo Bradley (1965–1966) on Petticoat Junction and as a regular cast member in the television series Hee Haw until 1992. She was raised in Fort Worth, Texas.[2]

Early years

Born in Gothenburg, Sweden on May 15, 1944,[3] Hutton arrived in the United States at age 7, speaking no English.[4]

Career

Hutton started playing Billie Jo on Petticoat Junction at the beginning of the show's third season and left at the end of that season.[5]

During her lone season on Petticoat Junction (1965–66), Hutton appeared in 23 of its 34 episodes.

She appeared in Perry Mason, The Love Boat, and Murder Can Hurt You (1980). In 2015, she appeared in a MeTV commercial promoting Petticoat Junction with cast members Linda Kaye Henning and Lori Saunders.

Hutton sang in personal appearances and recorded two singles for ABC/Dot Records.[6]

Personal life

For about a year or so, she was involved in an extramarital relationship with Nat King Cole. Hutton has been said to have telephoned Cole's wife Maria Cole to tell her to divorce him. Maria, in turn, confronted her husband, and Cole ended his relationship with Hutton after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Later, she married former Air Force pilot Allan Freeman. They had 3 children together and remained married for 43 years until his death in 2014.[7] He was her second husband.[4]
