It’s June Cleaver!
By: Beverly Washburn / Hollywood Memories
Well, here it is, the end of the year. And
oh, what a year it’s been. I wish you
all happiness, peace and love during this very
unsettling time .
I’m sure you recognize Barbara Billingsley from the iconic show
“Leave it to Beaver.”
In this photo, I had the honor of playing Barbara’s daughter in an
obscure TV show called “Professional Father.” This show was a few
years before she played Wally & Beaver’s mother .
The year was 1955 and it was in the days of live TV at CBS Television
Studios. It lasted only one season, but it was a wonderful experience for
me.
Barbara Billingsley played the mom, Steve Dunne, the father and Ted
Marc and I played their two
children. It was a situation
comedy. The ratings were
never that great, yet it
was one of my fondest
memories.
Every month when I
turn in my column and
meet with Publisher Dan,
I have to laugh because he
always tells me he’s waiting
for an article where I say
something “bad” about
someone I worked with!
Well, that sure can’t happen
this month, because
honestly, Barbara was one
of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever worked with.
She had many credits to her name, having worked on many shows,
stage, radio and even as a fashion model, but Leave it to Beaver is what
truly made her a household name.
She became quite well known for always wearing “pearls” as she did
her housework. Wearing those pearls was actually her idea because she
felt she had a “hollow” in her neck and that by wearing pearls it could
help camouflage it on camera.
Little did she know what an impact it made. I also feel forever indebted
to her because she was the one who introduced me to Tony Dow.
Tony played Wally and was every teenage girl’s heart throb, including
me. Tony and I are still friends to this day and he also was kind enough
to write the foreword for my book.
Barbara lived to be 94 and died in 2010. The world truly lost and
angel on that day. She will always have a place in my heart.
Until next time, remember to try and find something beautiful in
each day.
