Godspeed Mrs. Cleaver

Barbara Billingsley best known to us all as Mrs. Cleaver has died at the age of 94.

For many, perhaps most of us she was a comforting memory of childhood and innocence.

A couple interesting tidbits.

She wore pearls on LITB because she had what she calls a ‘hollow’ in her neck, a physical defect that would have really shown up on camera back then. They didn’t always use pearls but that was why she always had them.

High heels were to compensate for the fact that Tony and Jerry were growing and she needed to be taller.

Both facts straight from Barbara herself.

She also spoke fluent jive.

To paraphrase Eddie, I am quite sure she is looking very lovely today in her halo.
