What happened to Aneta Corsaut after Andy Griffith Show

Aneta Corsaut was not originally supposed to be Andy Griffith’s love interest in The Andy Griffth Show. Her character, Helen Crump, was the schoolteacher. After appearing in one episode, the producers were so impressed with her, she became a recurring character. Of course, she ended up marrying Andy Taylor in the spin-off Mayberry R.F.D.

Reportedly, the onscreen chemistry between Aneta and Andy translated to real life. They engaged in an ongoing affair. At the time, Andy was married to Barbara Bray Edwards. They tried to keep their affair a secret, but the whole cast and crew could tell what was going on.
