Gunilla Hutton with Nat King Cole Cole had affairs throughout his marriages. By the time he developed lung cancer, he was estranged from his wife Maria and living with actress Gunilla Hutton, best known as the second Billie Jo Bradley on Petticoat Junction (1965–1966) and also notable as a regular cast member (Nurse Goodbody) on Hee Haw. But Cole was with Maria during his illness, and she stayed with him until his death. In an interview, Maria expressed no lingering resentment over his affairs. Instead, she emphasized his musical legacy and the class he exhibited in all other aspects of his life. Born Gunilla Wiklund, she attended Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth, Texas. She appeared on such game shows as Match Game, Password, and Family Feud.
She had an extramarital relationship with Nat King Cole. Hutton telephoned his wife, Maria Cole, to tell her to divorce him. Maria, in turn, confronted her husband and Cole ended the relationship with Hutton after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
