.... oops!
I meant to say the Beaver show is 50+ years old ..... not 60+ years old.
-
Ms. Billingsley looks absolutely great here. She has kept herself looking quite well all these years. Keep in mind the Beaver show is 60+ years old !
-
Its so sad seing her all old :( she was so pretty when she was younger
-
I agree with Ms.Billingsly..that question got to be a bit of a damn bore.
-
She was always a " class A" lady and fortunately she lived long enough to see how much people loved her.

@GrandMasterFreshMpls In the 1950s & '60s, most homes had two parents--one who worked to provide for the family, and one who stayed in the home to care for it, prepare the meals and take care of the kids.
-
@GrandMasterFreshMpls The appearances and manners of middle class mothers back then were a far cry from the sweat-pantsed soccer moms of today, many of who are the only parent in a home, usually employed by need more than choice, to pay for a family of latch-key kids or children in day care and after-school programs.
-
@GrandMasterFreshMpls Even in the course of an average day, my mom wore a nice dress, lower heels and lipstick, always tred her best to look her best,. This was true even in the years when she was dying of cancer, when sometimes in so much pain she would sit in a chair before the stove, still trying her best to get dinner ready for my father and her kids.
-
@GrandMasterFreshMpls And when not doing housework (or cooking and preparing lunches & dinners, or helping my sister or I with homework), my mom did sometimes wear high heels & pearls or some nice, modest, costume jewelry earrings; was always nicely groomed and dressed whenever out of the house, like at a PTA meeting or church.

No, Miss Billingsley had just been tired of explaining the reasons behind professional decisions for her character's apparel, that a myth had been falsely perpetuated "June Cleaver' was somehow too glamorously outfitted to be a realistically believable mother on "Leave it to Beaver."
As one raised by a 1950s and early '60s mom, I can vouch that, sans pearls and high heels while vacuuming, "June Cleaver" was a fairly authentic portrayal of motherhood in American suburbia of the period.

She has really aged well. It's funny I was born in 74, so naturally I watched re-runs, but it's neat that my 9 and 8 year old, actually enjoy the show on TV Land. You don't find to many good shows these days, that have values, it is really ashame.
