Barbara Billingsly and Mickey McGuire


She plays a nurse. He plays a kid named Cleaver. What else is there to say? :)

Well, since you asked, I'll say this: I saw something here (in one of the reviews that says Mickey McGuire is now Michael McGuire of Dark Shadows (the original) fame, but the biography attached to the name here says that this Mickey McGuire died in 1959 at age 19 and only appeared in 15 movies and shorts, The Sun Comes Up being the next to last one. I couldn't find anything about him with a cursory Internet search. Shall we try to track down the facts? I love a good mystery as much as I love a sentimental dog story.

Why not mention Dwayne Hickman who played the son? He went on to play "Dobie Gillis".

And I was totally confused for a second, thinking of Mickey Rooney. [Mickey McGuire being one of Rooney's very early Our Gang-clone roles]
