Don Knotts had a lot of love to give. Though his final marriage to Frances Yarborough is probably his most famous, The Andy Griffith Show actor was married three times. Here’s a look back at the famous comedian’s marriages with Kathryn Metz, Loralee Czuchna, and Yarborough.

Knotts and Kathryn Metz were college sweethearts. Metz was “a woman of substance, the daughter of a Northern Baptist minister from Wheeling, a West Virginia city so far north that it was almost Ohio,” Daniel de Visé wrote in his biography Andy and Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American TV Show. They dated for two years then got married in Metz’s father’s church in 1947. They were together for 13 years and had two children, Thomas and Karen.

Well, the Golden Globe nominations were announced, and I’m starting to believe the “Foreign Press Association” is actually just Yakov Smirnoff sitting alone in a room with an old TV Guide and erasable pen and randomly making some picks. (This would explain why “What A Country!” gets nominated for Best Drama every year.) That’s because while many well-deserved people and projects got nominated (Midnight In Paris, Bryan Cranston, … Rango), there were also plenty of plainly obvious snubs. As Dan Hopper pointed out this morning, Breaking Bad was snubbed for a nomination while Boss, a show starring Kelsey Grammer in his blue X-Men suit, managed to make the cut. Of all the snubs, though, one stings the most: The absence of Melissa McCarthy getting a nod for her brilliant turn in Bridesmaids. McCarthy made the movie (after the Goddess Wiig), and it was one of the biggest moneymakers of the year.
