When I was teaching, we had a 50's day dance every year. Karen would take time offf work to come out and bought a dress she wore for these occasions which we always called her "June Cleaver Dress." Ya' know, in its own waym it was very sexy.

Come on "Spaw" what sort of vicarious TV "wonderland" did you experience? RE the iconic 50's Mom never to be forgotten or matched.

The best scene ever....was when she came downstairs in the morning...a little bow-legged....and asked, "Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on The Beaver last night?"

She created the iconic 50's Mom never to be forgotten or matched. From the hair to the dress and shoes, she portrayed a true image of the suburban 50's homemaker.

She on the other hand was every bit the actor and after being a bit trapped ina typecast situation she made the most of it as years passed.

WHen I first saw "Airplane" I laughed at many parts all the way through but nowhere was I more amused than by her turn as the Ebonics speaking June Cleaver type. Thanks for contributing to the rich fiber of our culture....................

I always thought she and Eddie Haskell were a little too friendly.
