RIP Barbara Billingsley

Were you able to remember who Barbara Billingsley was before you decided to cheat and Google her? If yes, then you’ll know that she was the mama on Leave It to Beaver, not so much a show of my childhood, but a show that was on a lot in my household (my dad was a big fan) when I was just a kid.

But Barbara Billingsley was a lot more than just a passing reference in my house, and was actually a much bigger presence than I knew until now. Good old Babs, who passed away this past weekend at the age of 94, was not only The Beav’s mom on LITB, but she was auntie-in-real-life to Peter Billingsley, who we all know was Ralphie on A Christmas Story, a movie that will forever remain etched in the velvety folds of my forever-eighties heart and soul. To knock your socks off even more, Barbara Billingsley was also the voice of Nanny on Muppet Babies — oh hell yes I just said Muppet Babies. Do you remember that show? Because I almost fell full off my chair when I read Muppet Babies. I totally forgot about Muppet Babies, so what did I do just ten minutes ago? Scoured the internet for a box set of Muppet Babies, and this bitch found it. And bought it. And expedited the shipping.  MUPPET BABIES.

Anyway, happy 80s overload. And Barbara Billingsley, may you rest in peace — 94 is a good, long life lived, filled with talent and happiness and family.

That and I dare you not to be singing this song for the rest of the day.

    Nice post! Muppet Babies was a little bit after my time, I was more of the actual Muppet Show generation — but I had some fun watching MB with my little sisters :) I had no idea the Jive-talking Mrs. Cleaver (Airplane! FTW) was a voice on that show!
