Leave it to Beaver's Mom on TV

4. That's when she stole my heart as a WONDERFUL actress! I didn't love her

when I was Beaver's age, but I loved her in that movie!!

I loved her for every re-run of L I to Beaver after THAT wonderful role in that movie.

Thanks for the memories!

12. I'm not 50 at all but am saddened. She was the Betty White of yesteryear in Airplane, as well

Mrs Clever speaking "jive" was utterly classic.
