Tell Us What You Think
11I just loved her in Leave It To Beaver. She also did a really good job as a guest on the Roseanne show. May she rest in peace.
Kelly you are so right./..there is no talent and it is all garbage...and the language!
I wish tv would go back to the pre-smut, pre-reality, pre-sex days!
May she rest in peace... but she was married 3 times. Twice widowed and divorced from her first husband. As always, bad reporting from US.
I loved her. She was a favorite part of my day. I loved hearing Beaver wait till your father gets home and father would give a good talking to not like today when u cringe at the sound of your dads car pulling up
Bless her heart she made an impact on sitcom history May you rest in peace
June Cleaver is the mom that everyone wanted. Barbara RIP
most all of the young starlets and poptarts could learn something from her grace and poise...oh this is sad *sniffle*, but she DID live an incredible life...she is up in heaven dusting and cleaning God's mantle in pearls and pumps...Peace to her family...
