Young blonde Aunt Bea was a sassbasket, and retained this trait throughout life.  

....I'm not certain that the hot, blonde, young aunt Bee photos attributed as such are not fake internet news.  She was, however, a pretty successful actress in her younger days, and appeared on Broadway in a number of vehicles, most notable opposite Henry Fonda when he was still doing that sort of thing. She was born in and raised in a Gramercy Park brownstone, so it's little wonder she was uppity.

Born in New York City in a brownstone on Gramercy Park[1] to Charles S., a stationary engineer, and Mary S. (née Birmingham) Bavier, Frances originally planned to become a teacher after attending Columbia University. She first appeared in vaudeville, later moving to the Broadway stage.[2]

After graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1925, she was cast in the stage comedy The Poor Nut.[3] Bavier's big break came in the original Broadway production of On Borrowed Time. She later appeared with Henry Fonda in the play Point of No Return
