I watched the Today show this AM and saw the special and the interview of Jerry Mathers, a.k.a. the Beaver. Quite interesting. She was a real lady who left a legacy of proper womanship.

Yes June Cleaver was my ideal mom growing up. I wished my mom was more like her. Crazy childhood fantasies.

TRIVIA QUESTION: Why did she always wear a pearl necklace?

ANSWER: As for her trademark white-pearl necklace, Billingsley said in 2003 in The Times that she wore it "because I have a big hollow in my neck" and the necklace covered the spot perfectly.
