On the series Green Acres, Canfield played the all-thumbs carpenter Ralph Monroe, who greeted fellow Hootervillians with her signature, "Howdie Doodie!" During the early 1970s, Ms. Canfield and actress Lucille Wall shared the role of nurse Lucille March (Audrey's sister) on General Hospital. As Thelma Lou's "plain" cousin in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show, she had an arranged blind date with Gomer Pyle, played by Jim Nabors. In 1966, Ms. Canfield played Abner Kravitz' sister Harriet on three Bewitched episodes following the death of actress Alice Pearce from ovarian cancer.
