These Beloved Stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age Are Still Alive And Enjoying Life In Retirement
Tony Dow – 1945
Tony Dow’s most noteworthy performance was as Wally Cleaver, in the forever loved television sitcom Leave It To Beaver. Wally Cleaver was the older brother to the rascal Beaver, who he often helped get out of sticky situations. He was born in Hollywood and his mother worked in the industry, so maybe he was destined for a life in showbiz from a young age.
Fun fact – he actually won the role of Wally Cleaver without any preparation of a casting call. His other shows include My Three Sons, Dr. Kildare, The Greatest Show on Earth, Never Too Young etc.
Later in his life, he worked behind the camera as well and a provided visual effects for Doctor Who. He also worked as a sculptor. Dow confessed to having undergone clinical depression in his life. We hope he is doing better now and it is a good sign that he is still active. No anti-aging pills are required for this great persona.
