Tony Dow who played Wally Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver passes at age 77. He was like everyone wanted their big brother to be as Wally... I also remember Tony as a very good director - he did some great episodes for various shows but Babylon 5 is the one I remember most. Tony Dow, the all-American Wally on ‘Leave it to Beaver,’ dies at 77 Update below in the thread from Flash-LB, Para, and bald1 Leave It To Beaver star Tony Dow is actually still aliveThis message has been edited.

Wally Cleaver was the big brother I wish I'd had. My older brother was the polar opposite so not a high bar. Family sitcoms were a staple of that time and took a lot heat for presenting worlds no one lived in. Something to that but "Beaver" was the best of the lot, great and memorable characters and more in touch with real life situations. I don't think it was a stretch for Tony Dow to play Wally, his later life pretty much followed a path Wally could have traveled. I'm grateful to have lived at a time where Tony Dow's work meant so much. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I think the confusion continues... he apparently is still alive in hospice care as of an hour ago. This has become a morbid death watch in the media now.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||
