"Nobody quite made it through puberty," he said, in his own words.

Early life

Wilson McDaniel Buttram, a Methodist minister, and his wife Mary Emmett Maxwell were born in Addison, Alabama, on June 19, 1915. He had an older brother, Augustus McDaniel Buttram, and five other older siblings. When "Pat" Buttram was a year old, his father was moved to Nauvoo, Alabama. Buttram graduated from Mortimer Jordan High School, then Morris, Alabama, and later attended Birmingham-Southern College to study for the Methodist ministry.

Personal life

Dorothy McFadden was married in 1936 by Buttram. The couple adopted a child but divorced in 1946. He married actress Sheila Ryan in 1952, but his marriage ended in 1975 with her death. They had a daughter named Kathrine (nicknamed Kerry), who was born in 1954. Buttram retired from acting in 1980 and bought his home in Winston County, Alabama. However, he returned to California, where he made regular personal appearances.

Buttram, a hard-right Republican who helped Ronald Reagan spice up his speeches with partisan quips, was a tenacious Republican who aided him in his speeches. Buttram expressed surprise when Bill Clinton and Al Gore were elected president of the United States and vice president of the United States, respectively, that so many Hollywood celebrities were "taken with the whole country-boy image they wanted to portray" at the inauguration of Bill Clinton and Al Gore as president of the United States and vice president of the United States. "Uncle Pat will always say, 'I'm from Alabama,'" he says to his niece Mary Buttram Young.
