Barbara Billingsley (December 22, 1915 – October 16, 2010) was an American film, television, voice and character actress of stage, who in her five decades of television came to prominence in the 1950's on the big screen in The Careless Years opposite Natalie Trundy, followed by her best-known role, that of June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver" and its sequel "Still the Beaver" (also known as "The New Leave It to Beaver"). The actress won a new legion of fans in a brief, but memorable, scene in the 1980 send-up movie Airplane. "Oh, stewardess. I speak jive," Billingsley said in her role -- much different from her June Cleaver persona -- as an elderly passenger comforting an ill man on the flight. She, the sick man and his seat companion engaged in street-slang banter.
