Remember Leave It To Beaver?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. janeives43 (979) 4 years ago

If you're not old enough to remember the original black and white series about the Cleaver family, popular back in the 1950's, you've probably seen episodes on TVLand, from time to time.

A newspaper article today stated that Tony Dow, who played Wally, Beaver's older brother in the tv series, is having one of his abstract sculptures displayed at the Louvre Art Museum in Paris.
The exhibition Dow's work will be featured in is Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts, one of the most prestigious juried art shows.

Dow has worked as a director and visual effects producer on several TV shows, but painting and sculpting has been his chief interest and occupation since the old "Leave It To Beaver" days.

Did anyone realize that "Wally" was, at the time of his tv appearances, a budding young artist?

Hi yes I remember the show. I use to watch it. That's when TV. had some good shows on not like now days. But I didn't know he was a artist.

I never had a clue about Tony Dow's other talent until I read the article, either, Debby.

I for one did not realize this. That is neat to know, that TV child stars can grow up to do such neat things. I think it will be really cool to see when we finally have pictures of it available on the internet. I will keep my eyes open in hopes someone or some news agency posts it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. janeives43 (979)  4 years ago

I'm going to be watching, too, Gerty. I would love to see a picture of this sculpture; I understand it's of a woman with a shield. This sure doesn't sound like the Wally I remember; but he's 63 now!

Wow...that's nice! I didn't know that, but remember him well, since I had a crush on him when I was a LOT younger...well, before I moved onto my crush on Davey Jones...lol. I wish more of the 'Where Are They Now' type shows would cover what became of the supporting actors and actesses in these old programs. Thanks for the info!

I thought it was interesting, too, Deb. I remember that show so well. I would love to see pictures of some of his work.

I still watch Leave It To Beaver on TVLand. I love that show.
I did not know what happen to any of the actors, and had no idea that Wally (Tony Dow) was an artist. I would like to see some of his work.


myLot reputation of 89/100. janeives43 (979)  4 years ago

It was a great show during the early days of TV. I would certainly enjoy seeing some of Tony Dow's work, myself.

I heard this morning about this and was so happy for him. It's a very special thing to have achieved. It's almost like one of my kids did it. Hahthumbup


myLot reputation of 89/100. janeives43 (979)  4 years ago

It is a wonderful achievement, pat. I would love to see some of his work. For me, it's kind of like a contemporary made their mark..lol

Yes, I remember the show but have not heard about his artistic abilities.
Thanks for sharing!


myLot reputation of 89/100. janeives43 (979)  4 years ago

I guess a lot of us either watched the original show, or have seen it on TVLand. I just thought it was kind of neat news, for a change. Nice to have something positive to talk about.
