MADness—the Blog
The semi-regular journal for the MAD About Movies site, with more on movies, and other things too.

The past couple of weeks on the front page, I’ve been featuring actors and actresses who are 90 and over. The idea was to take a moment to remember some of the stars from yesterday before they are gone. As I had mentioned in Friday’s post, one of those stars was Barbara Billingsley.
In the news this morning I read that Barbara Billingsley died on Saturday. For many, she will be remembered as June Cleaver, the archetype of the 1950s mom, on the family comedy Leave It to Beaver. Before that, Billingsley had appeared in movies, in many small roles, and a few other TV shows. After Beaver, she’s best known for her cameo as the “jive”-talking passenger in Airplane! (1980).
R.I.P., Barbara Billingsley. She was 94.
