Sad indeed. I watched reruns of Father Knows Best as a kid during the 70s. I remembered something familiar, something that caught my eye....Spock's mother!

Wyatt, if I recall, was black-listed during the McCarthy era but I have forgotten why.

She certainly had a rather long life. I had no idea she was 96 years old.

A belated nod to a classy lady...
