Estelle Campbell, played by Emily McNab, and Myra Wilcox, Virginia Robinson, were Marian's married sisters. Aunt Milly, counselor for the family, was Jean Miller. Under the white whiskers and glasses was Charles Breunig, playing the part of quaint and lovable Grandpa Mr. Stubbins, Martin Wirth, was Judge Hardy's political aid and advisor.
