She is not a Boomer, as she was born in 1927 or so.

She was in Season 1, Episode 2 of Adam-12 as Judy, an irresponsible mother of two boys who overdosed on her drugs when she left them alone.

I never would have guessed it was her. RIP.

She told a joke about being 8 months pregnant, and coming home to her husband sitting, and having drinks with one of her friends, well former friends, Joan Collins. It was a meandering soliloqy, and funny as heck. Find it and you will find out where her comedy came from, her own life. I met her at a film festival once also, she was kind and generous with her time.

She wasn’t a Boomer, she would have been born in 1927. If she were a male she may have been sent to fight against the Japanese.

Cloris Leachman only did the first season. She was replaced by June Lockhart in season two.

She did part of the season that aired in 1957 - 1958. Ratings suffered and she was hard to get along with (perhaps because she didn’t want to do this role) and she was let go. June Lockhart replaced her until 1964.

She was very good looking when she was young, and she aged quite well, IMO.

Thanks. I did not know that. June Lockhart is iconic in that role. It was a good switch.
