Tony Dow, has passed away he was 77

TMZ

[AuH2ORepublican]

Yup. And he was a semi-regular on All in the Family as well. Incredible career for someone who didn’t even start acting until the age of 67.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Apparently he is NOT dead

UPDATE

12:48 PM PT — The statement reporting Tony’s death that was posted on his official Facebook page Tuesday morning has now been removed. We spoke with Tony’s manager who says Tony’s wife, Lauren, who is very distraught, believed her husband was dead — and told his management.

We’re now told he is still alive and breathing while in hospice care.

The first 3 seasons were the best.
Once the beave started sporting a five o’clock shadow ..and still as clueless as he was in first grade..it started losing some of it’s charm.

Part of the past slips away...another block falls until we all jinga down.

When I heard about his cancer I more or less expected it. RIP Wally....;(

He’s alive but in hospice, barely alive
indeed

[IAGeezer912]

My favorite episode was when Eddie made fun of the Bev for being afraid of an upcoming roller coaster ride at the county fair. Turned out Bev enjoyed it but Eddie threw up.

However, the classic line was when June told Ward one morning that she thought he had been hard on the Beaver that night.

Played the court bailiff in Professor Ned Brainerd’s (Fred MacMurray) trial in Son of Flubber.

I remember in one of the later episodes, Wally briefly dated a “fast” girl, but he resisted the temptation.

A vivid piece of the mid-20th Century American zeitgeist is still earth-bound.

Los Angeles ABC reporter George Pennacchio just posted on Facebook that Dow’s wife, Lauren, mistakenly thought her husband had died during the night at their home and mistakenly informed Dow’s management that he had passed.

Deadline has reached out to Dow’s management team for further comment, and has removed the obituary published earlier from the site.

“Tony Dow is still alive,” reports Pennacchio. “I had a conversation with his wife, Lauren. She is understandably distraught and grief-stricken about what’s been going on with Tony’s health battle these past months. He’s been in hospice care at their home, and based on some health issues overnight, Lauren inferred that Tony had passed away to some people close to her and the word quickly spread.

You know you are getting old when stars in your childhood are passing. The Beaver is sad I guess!

[Nik Naym]

Gosh I miss the Cleavers: Ward, June, Wally, Beaver and Eldridge.

This is like the announcement that Charlie’s Angel Tanya Roberts passed away then didn’t then did.

[x]

The latest news is that he hasn’t, but by the time you see this he may have died again.

[dfwgator]

Tanya Roberts, all over again.
