Denver Pyle

He died of Lung Cancer on Christmas Day in 1997. Carmen's younger sister is actress Paula Duncan. In his later life, Denver Pyle played mostly cameo television roles and retired from full time acting. Soap Opera Digest and Soaps In Depth have reported that Duncan will serve as a temporary replacement for Eileen Fulton's character, Lisa Grimaldi, on As the World Turns starting in late October 2004. He became involved in television in the 1970s, and in 1979 was cast as the immortal “Uncle Jesse” in the series The Dukes of Hazzard. Despite that, however, she is still somewhat sought after for American soap jobs. After the close of the Second World War, Denver Pyle began his film career and starred in several motion pictures throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Another criticism was that, even though she took elocution lessons to fight it, she spoke in a distinct Australian accent, thus she looked out of place in an American family.

Denver Pyle’s statements were not resolved prior to his death, and his exact status of military service remains unclear to this day. In real life, however, the actress was three years older than Victoria Wyndham. Denver Pyle would claim in later life that he was a Navy veteran, who had been wounded in action at Guadalcanal, however the National Personnel Records Center stated in 1991 that there was no evidence that Denver Pyle had ever served on active duty in the United States Navy. When Rachel married Iris's father Mac in the 1970s, the main drama stemmed from the fact that Iris was a couple of years older than Rachel. With the age dynamic ostensibly changed, television critics and fans alike found Duncan to be jarring in the role. He worked as a drummer and band member until the start of the Second World War, when he applied to join the Merchant Marine. Many of Duncan's critics noted that she looked much younger than her stepmother on the show, Rachel Cory (played by Victoria Wyndham). After graduating from high school he briefly attended college before dis-enrolling to pursue a career in show business. She succeeded Beverlee McKinsey in the role after a long absence.
