Personal Quote:

Our shows were written to be entertaining, but the writers had something to say. Every script always solved a little problem that was universal. It appealed to everyone. I think the world is hankering for a family. People may want to be free, but they still want a nuclear family. See more »

Trivia:

Won three consecutive Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Margaret Anderson on Father Knows Best. See more »
