The first show he created was the 1955 hit, &#8220;The Bob Cummings Show&#8221;. If you ever wondered if the Linda Henning that played Betty Jo Bradley was related to Paul, the answer is yes&#8230;she was his daughter. <\/p>\n<p>After interviewing 1,500 women for the parts of the three sisters, he could only pick two. That&#8217;s when Bea Benaderet recommended Linda for the part of the oldest sister.
