Sad, yet somehow fitting, that perhaps the most recognizable Mom and Dad in American TV (pre-Cosby Show, at least) passed away in the same week.
Of course, Leave it to Beaver was before my generation's time, so to me Barbara Billingsley will be remembered fondly as the "I speak jive" lady from Airplane.

(She's actually listed in the credits as "Jive Lady.")
