Lisa Douglas

Lisa Douglas (née Gronyitz) was the leading female character in the 1960s CBS situation comedy Green Acres.

Lisa (portrayed by actress Eva Gabor), a glamorous Hungarian immigrant, was the wife of Oliver Wendell Douglas, a successful New York City attorney who had long harbored the dream of moving to the Midwest and operating a farm. Lisa had no desire to leave New York and live in an unsophisticated rural area; however, out of loyalty and duty to her husband she accompanied him on his quest nonetheless. Lisa got along wonderfully with her mother in-law, Eunice Douglas (Eleanor Audley) whom she called "Mother". She and her mother-in-law were in agreement not to move to the hinterlands.

Once Mr. and Mrs. Douglas arrived in tiny Hooterville, however, Lisa found herself fitting in with the zany, outlandish residents of the area and their absurd ways (in fact, much more than her husband did). Lisa had no trouble accepting that the "son" of a neighbor couple was, in fact, a pig, that one of the two "brothers" hired as contractors to remodel their dilapidated farmhouse was female, or absurd events such a crown suddenly appearing on her husband's head every time that he ate margarine (a satire of a then-current advertisement for Lever Brothers' Imperial Margarine) or her finding the credits for the current episode of the program appearing on the eggs laid by her hens. She also seemed to tolerate Oliver's interminable speeches about the nobility and greatness of the American farmer, who caused the crops to come "shooting up out of the ground" (she called this his "shoosting speech"). (Her mangling of the English language was reminiscent of an earlier sitcom character, Ricky Ricardo of I Love Lucy.) In contrast, Oliver was in denial of the fact (apparent to all) that his "American Dream" was, for him at least, a nightmare.
