15. Natalia Schafer was only in it for Hawaii
The woman who played Mrs. “Lovey” Howell, Natalie Schafer, signed on to do the pilot because (duh) they were going to film it in Hawaii. Who wouldn’t take a free trip to Hawaii? Besides, it was only a pilot; most become nothing. When the network agreed to pick up the show, they moved filming to Los Angeles, so no Hawaii lifestyle for Lovey. Aw.
