I remember reading somewhere that Jerry Mathers had worked with Hugh Beaumont in a religious film, and Hugh helped Jerry learn how to pretend to cry. When Jerry later learned that Hugh was up for the role of Ward, he said he prayed that Hugh would be cast.
It's a shame Hugh Beaumont (TV's Ward Cleaver) didn't live long enough to be interviewed for this TV Legends series. There was obviously a LOT of chemistry (and affection) between the whole cast of "Leave it to Beaver".
Barbara will be 94 in December 2009. Hope I make it that long, and look at good as her. She looks better than the Beve and Wally, see them lately. Eddie Haskell looks like he had a rough life too, drink much!
I completely agree, cat! It's the honesty mixed with the humor. She's absolutely adorable. A friend of mine delivered something to her home a few years ago and she offered him some chocolate chip cookies. He said it was so surreal and she was exactly like you'd think -- lovely.
What a treat to see one of the television legends from my childhood. She was always one of my favorites. My only complaint is that for most of the interview the sound and the video do not match.

I have found if I don't fast forward video it is normally in sync. Start fiddling with controls and it seems to go bad.

Great interview! Leave It To Beaver will never be forgotten. "June Cleaver" has aged very well!
