 Archdiocese of Denver - DCR - Local News
WASHINGTON (CNS) — Barbara Billingsley, a television icon after having starred as pearls-wearing homemaker June Cleaver for six seasons on "Leave It to Beaver," is not only a real-life mother, but a grandmother 16 times over and great-grandmother 22 times over.
After "Beaver" went off the air in 1963, Billingsley became a stay-at-home mom, she told Catholic News Service in a telephone interview from her home in Santa Monica, Calif. Any typecasting that might have resulted from having portrayed such a definitive character as June Cleaver faded away.
Most of Billingsley's scenes in "Secret Santa" were shot at a Maryknoll Sisters convent in the Los Angeles suburb of Monrovia.
