Bye Bye, BB

Barbara Billingsley has died.

In the late 50s/early 60s she was Beaver Cleaver's--and thus America's--mom.  I wonder how many millions watched the Beaver clan each week and wondered why their own family was so different.  I certainly don't recall my mom wearing pearls around the house.



Even though June Cleaver was by far her biggest role, I have a sneaking sensation she's going to be remembered for her work in Airplane!.
