America's Mom Dies

Barbara Billingsley, mother on 'Leave It to Beaver,' dies at 94.

Leave It to Beaver, "Beaver and Chuey," a moral lesson in tolerance and sensitivity. From Season 2, Episode 43: Beaver unknowingly insults a Spanish friend with a phrase Eddie taught him.

Billingsley had a sense of humor as well. She played a bit part as the jive talking passenger in Airplane.
