Spock's mother, too...and a long career in film and theater besides to go along with her three Emmys...

Jane Wyatt obit

But, boy, that Billy Gray on FATHER KNOWS BEST...(quote ripped from the IMDB):

"I wish there was some way I could tell kids not to believe it - the dialogue, the situations, the characters - they were all totally false. The show did everybody a disservice. The girls were always trained to use their feminine wiles, to pretend to be helpless to attract men. The show contributed to a lot of the problems between men and women that we see today....I think we were all well motivated, but what we did was run a hoax. 'Father Knows Best' purported to be a reasonable facsimile of life. And the bad thing is that the model is so deceitful. It usually revolved around not wanting to tell the truth, either out of embarassment, or not wanting to hurt someone....If I could say anything to make up for all the years I lent myself to that kind of bullshit, it would be: *You* know best."

But didn't the truth always come out in the end? That sounds pretty lifelike to me--delaying the harsh facts for as long as possible--before and after the show's run.

So Wyatt was actually quite subversive in her placid way...and FATHER KNOWS BEST the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE of TV shows, brainwashing us... :)
