Barbara Pepper is a Actor American born on 31 may 1915 at New York City (USA)
Barbara Pepper (May 31, 1915 – July 18, 1969) was an American stage, television, radio, and film actress. She is best known as the first "Doris Ziffel" on the sitcom Green Acres.
Elle se produisit ensuite au cinéma et à la radio, jusqu'au décès accidentel de son mari en 1949 qui la laisse sonnée, tombant rapidement dans l'alcoolisme, prenant trop de poids, ce qui ne lui laisse d'autre choix que d'accepter de petits rôles sans intérêt, notamment dans My Fair Lady et Un monde fou, fou, fou, fou, et dans la série télévisée I Love Lucy.
On se souvient principalement d'elle grâce à son rôle de « Doris Ziffel » pour la série télévisée Les Arpents verts (Green Acres), rôle qu'elle tint de 1965 à 1968. Une santé défaillante l'éloigna du petit écran et le rôle de Doris a été repris par l'actrice Fran Ryan.

The film plays out with three first-season episodes edited together into a single story: "The Benefit", "Breaking the Lease", and "The Ballet", with new footage included between episodes to help transition the episodes into one coherent storyline. As the series routinely took the format of filming scenes in chronological order, this adds to the "show within a show within a show" format of the film, as viewers watch the cast perform the episodes live. The film itself ends with a "curtain call", as the cast comes out and Arnaz thanks the audience for their support.
