Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Remembered as one of the seminal sitcoms from the early days of television, Leave It to Beaver had a massive impact on popular culture, and more than 65 years later, fans wonder, "Who is still alive from Leave It to Beaver?" The show aired for six seasons starting in 1957, and it became a cultural touchstone for the late-'50 and early-'60s.
Though Leave It to Beaver is what made him famous, Mathers had already been working in show business for years by the time he landed the part. He appeared alongside Shirley MacLaine in Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry in 1955, and after Leave It to Beaver he continued to work mostly in TV. However, by the 2000s, Mathers had largely stepped away from show business. His most recent appearance was in the 2008 TV movie Mother Goose Parade.
Stephen Talbot Played Gilbert Bates Just looking to fit in with the boys, Gilbert Bates was a sensitive friend of the Beaver, and he was played brilliantly by Stephen Talbot on the sitcom. Gilbert started as another troublesome kid whose antics got Beaver into trouble. He was also a loudmouth who was prone to telling lies to make himself seem more impressive. However, he eventually became a good friend to Beaver.
Wally Cleaver was Dow's first major role, and he found great success throughout the '60s and '70s on shows like Never Too Young. As Dow's acumen grew, he began working behind the scenes and even directed episodes of shows like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Coach. One of Dow's final acting roles came in the 2003 film Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 77.
Hugh Beaumont Played Ward Beaver Usually ranked among the best dads in TV history, Ward Cleaver was a firm but fair father of the time period. Ward was seen as the moral compass of the series with his main role in the show being the one who would teach his sons the important lessons they needed to learn in each of the episodes.
Osmond had made a handful of TV appearances before Leave It to Beaver on shows like Lassie, but work was slow for the typecast actor after the sitcom ended. Osmond departed show business to pursue other career endeavors before returning to TV in shows like Parker Lewis Can't Lose where he mostly reprised the Haskell persona. Osmond died at the age of 76in 2020.
