Barbara Billingsley aka Barbara Lillian Combes

Actress -- via ABC-TV. She will be forever remembered as Mrs. Cleaver in "Leave It to Beaver"; she became the iconic Baby Boom mom. She was the modern Hestia, goddess of the hearth. In pearls and high heels, she served and supported in her suburban kingdom -- sexless, secure and compliant. An aseptic ideal.

Her work in "Airplane!" proved she had a great sense of humor as well.
