Jane Wyatt, the lovely, serene actress who for six years on "Father Knows Best" was one of TV's favorite moms, has died, said her publicist. She was 96.
Wyatt died Friday in her sleep of natural causes at her home in Bel-Air, according to publicist Meg McDonald. Her death also was confirmed by Bernard Johnson of the funeral home Gates, Kingsley & Gates Moeller Murphy Funeral Directors.
Yeah, an old guy with a kid! ;)
I sure wish they would make shows like that again. I watch ones I have seen before because the characters are almost like family.

Gosh, I had forgotten about Marcus Welby! He seemed so much older on that show, I guess I didn't really put them together, mentally. Just like I know Andy played that other guy (forget his name, guess I'm getting old too) but I they seem so different to me that it's easy to forget they are the same person. Same thing with Jed Calmpett/Barnaby Jones.

It used to be very important......along with debutant cotillions!
Lucy Ball was brought up to me and regarding her I said too young.
