Andy Griffith is resting at his North Carolina home after enduring quadruple bypass surgery and a reported heart attack, it has been revealed today. The 74-year-old actor of “Matlock” fame (and “Andy Griffith Show” legend) went under the knife May 9 for the bypass procedure, a spokesman for the actor’s agent said. According to broadcast reports, a heart attack occurred a few weeks after that.
Still, despite all the scares, the Griffith spokesman says the star’s prognosis is “excellent,” and a complete recovery is expected.
Griffith will next be seen in the upcoming Billy Bob Thornton movie “Daddy and Them.”
