Hee Haw Was One Of Benton’s First Reoccurring Roles
CBS
In 1972, Benton landed one of her first reoccurring acting roles in the variety series Hee Haw. The actress performed in various comedy sketches but left after four seasons to become a bonafide Hollywood star (there’s only so much fame you can get with a few Playboy covers and TV sketches.)
Hee Haw was set in the fictional rural town of Kornfield Kounty and aired for over a decade on CBS. Here, Benton got to explore her singing talent as the show was hosted by country music artists Buck Owens and Roy Clark.
