Paul Henning, who produced some of the biggest TV comedy hits of the 1960s, including The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres, died Friday in Burbank at the age of 93. Hillbillies ranked No. 1 in its first two seasons and lasted nine years. Henning, who started out in 1938 as a comedy writer in radio, turning out scripts for Fibber McGee and Molly and Burns and Allen, among others, wrote most of the scripts for his TV series. He also co-wrote one of Marlon Brando's few comedy features, 1964's Bedtime Story.
