The show was broadcast in over 1. Also starring on Beaver were Hugh Beaumont, in the role of Ward Cleaver, June's husband and the kids' father, as well as child actors Tony Dow in the role of Wally Cleaver and Jerry Mathers as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. In the show, Billingsley often could be seen doing household chores wearing pearls and earrings. The pearls, which in real life were Billingsley's trademark, were, in turn, her idea to have her alter ego wear on television. The actress had what she termed "a hollow" on her neck[3][9] and thought that wearing a strand of white pearls would lighten it up for the cameras. In later seasons, she started wearing high heels to compensate for the fact that the actors playing her sons were getting taller than she was.[3][1. The pearl necklace was so closely associated with the character that an entire episode of the sequel series dealt with the necklace when it was lost.

As for the idealized TV family on Leave It to Beaver, which continues in reruns on cable more than half a century after its debut, Billingsley had her own explanation for the Cleavers' enduring appeal.

Wouldn't it be nice if you came home from school and there was Mom standing there with her little apron and cookies waiting?"Billingsley, however, questioned her character's reactions to the Cleaver children's misbehavior, basing her concern on personal experience as the mother of two sons. As the co- producer Joseph Connelly explained, "In scenes where she's mad at the boys, she's always coming over to us with the script and objecting. I don't see why June is so mad over what Beaver's done. I certainly wouldn't be.' As a result, many of Beaver's crimes have been rewritten into something really heinous like lying about them, in order to give his mother a strong motive for blowing her lady- like stack."[1.
