What Did Jerry Mathers Say About His Leave It To Beaver Co-Star, Tony Dow?
Dow and Mathers met as kids when he played the athletic, polite, and smart older brother to Mathers’ frequently misbehaving Beaver on Leave it to Beaver, with the original show running from 1957 through 1963.
And, with Mathers’ obvious sadness at thinking his long-time friend had died, such an image is clearly how he’d like to think of Dow when he does have to remember him.
Apparently, Dow’s wife, Lauren, mistakenly posted about his death on Facebook, but that prompted his co-star and “lifelong friend,” Jerry Mathers, to share a heartfelt tribute to Dow after the incorrect report of his passing.
