    Aw, Geez Wally!

    Farewell Tony Dow. This is getting to be an everyday thing.
    The actor and director, best known for playing stalwart older brother Wally Cleaver to Jerry Mathers’ Beaver Cleaver, was still in hospice care Tuesday.

    Not so fast. Apparently he is alive and well, his wife mistakenly thought he was dead and informed his reps who released the news incorrectly.

        Reminds me a couple years ago when it was announced prematurely that Tanya Roberts had died when in fact she was still alive...albeit briefly.

          Reasonable error ...my wife tells people I'm dead all the time.

            Somebody out there is spreading celebrity death rumors

            Started with Michael Douglas, then Michael J Fox, and finally Tony Dow

            As far as who fooled me, this youtube guy seems to get off fooling people of fake celeb deaths

            Doesn't even use a real human voice

            Look at his other posts

            Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                The local news mentioned his passing too.

                RIP Tony.

                  MeTV was running a "Remembering Tony Dow" commerical last night, promoting a Beaver marathon in his honor.

                  Makes me wonder if they have those clips ready and waiting. Kinda morbid, actually..

                      The fact Tony and Jerry remained best friends for 65 years is simply amazing.

                        They pretty much grew up together.

                          Barbara Billingsley lived to be 94 years old, she outlived the other cast members by a good margin, Jerry Mathers is 74 years old, I think he’s the only cast member left including the friends and neighbors.

                          MeTV LITB marathon is on this Sunday afternoon, RIP Tony Dow.

                            I did some poking around online a few nights ago, and Jerry Mathers isn't the only remaining cast member: Rusty Stevens (Larry Mondello), Richard Correll (Richard Rickover), Jeri Weil (Judy Hensler), and Steven Talbot (Gilbert Bates) are all alive. Two of the guys who played Wally's friends are alive too: 'Tiger' Farfara (Wally's friend Tooey) and Buddy Hart (Wally's friend Chester Anderson)...

                            Also, Veronica Cartwright who played Violet Rutherford twice, and another character name Peggy MacIntosh once on 'LITB' is still alive. Veronica will also be known as Jemima Boone on 'Daniel Boone' and for her role in the movie 'Alien' and many other guest spots on TV and film...
