Tony Dow, Leave it to Beaver star and StarTrek director, diagnosed with cancer
Leave it To Beaver star Tony Dow has revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer. TMZ obtained a statement from the actor and his wife Lauren about his condition. They thanked fans for their prayers and did not specify which kind of cancer it was. People on social media are already chiming in with messages of encouragement. Last August, Dow was admitted to a New York hospital with pneumonia. Back then, people were worried that it was COVID. But, he turned out negative.
In an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning earlier this year, Dow talked about his life. Since the Leave it to Beaver days, he's been doing fine art. As a sculptor, it's a very different road than the iconic TV show. But, it's one that brings him a considerable measure of peace. He's long since made peace with the fact that the TV sitcom he made a lifetime ago will be the thing people associate him with.
"From the time I was 11 or 12, I was being told what to do," he said."I was told on the set. I was told at home. I didn't have control of my life."
