UPDATE:
I had a conversation with Tony Dow's wife, Lauren, this afternoon.
She is understandably distraught and grief-stricken about what's been going on with Tony's health battle these past months.
He's been in hospice care at their home, and based on some health issues overnight, Lauren inferred that Tony had passed away to some people close to her and the word quickly spread.
Lauren admits she's been "a little fuzzy" these days--understandable.
She told me she now feels "foolish" about what has transpired since his death has been reported around the world. She also told me, through her pain, "it is of my own doing."
I told her we know it's been a very stressful time and people understand overwhelming grief. Lauren says she "loves and adores" her husband of 42 years with all of her heart.
While she did say he passed, she now understands the miscommunication and is sorry for causing a commotion in this challenging time.
R.I.P. TONY DOW
The “Leave It To Beaver” star has died at 77.
His managers (and dear friends) say Tony passed this morning. He’d been battling cancer.
They wrote he was “kind, compassionate, funny and humble,” saying it was a joy to be around him.”
For years in the ‘50s and ‘60s, Tony famously played “Wally Cleaver” on “Leave It To Beaver,” the handsome, popular older brother in the Cleaver family.
In later years, he was an accomplished artist.
This one really makes me sad. He was such a nice man.
