Topic: R.I.P. - Doris Singleton, 92 / Don Grady, 68

[BeAStooge]

Two familiar faces from my "growing up with TV" era died earlier today.

Character actress Doris Singleton has died at age 92.  A familiar voice on hundreds of radio shows like THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM, she became a familiar face on TV too.  She's probably most-recognized as the competitive 'Carolyn Appleby' on I LOVE LUCY.  Hundreds of TV appearances include the snobby fellow juror to 'Edith Bunker' on an episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY, and 'Chip''s mother-in-law in the last couple seasons of MY THREE SONS.

Variety obituary

ALL IN THE FAMILY  Edith Has Jury Duty (1971)

Don Grady, costar of MY THREE SONS (1960 - 1971) has died of bone cancer at 68.  He started in show biz as a Disney Mouseketeer.  Don played middle son 'Robbie Douglas' on the long-running MTS; he left the show in its next-to-last season and retired from acting for his first love of music.

I remember Doris Singleton from her two appearances on Hogan's Heroes.  And then there were her eight appearances on My Three Sons.
