Jane Wyatt, NJ Actress, R.I.P.

[ebsi2001]

Some members of this list may have "grown--up" with (and, hopefully, were influenced by) an early TV series, "Father Knows Best." Jane Wyatt played the part of the mother on that show, which had a run of about 6 years (207 episodes?).

Like many famous actors, actresses and entertainers, Jane Wyatt had ties to New Jersey: She was born in Campgaw some 96 years ago.

Until I read of her recent demise in today's AC Press, I had all but forgotten about Jane --- although she had a marked influence on the way I perceived the world in my formative years...

In more recent times, she played the part of Spock's mother on Star Trek.

R.I.P., Jane Wyatt. Thank's for the memories...

P.S.: This was an AP feed, and the ACP did not repost it on their website, so the complete obit is not available. The NYT published her obit, but, for some reason, I am unable to access their link.

The link, above, however, does confirm her death.

Who cares?

With all due respect, I thought she had passed years ago.

Who cares?

Maybe that's what people will say when you pass away. :jeffd:

Pretty classy...

Oh yeah, what a tragedy, taken away at the tender age of 96.

I agree this has nothing to do with the pines, but it's in the "off topic" forum. If you don't care then why say anything unless you want to insult someone? My grandmother died at the age of 97. She lived by herself until the day before she died and had a terrific life. Obviously nobody lives forever, but that doesn't mean she isn't missed.

Ebsi seems to think Jane Wyatt's passing was something worthy of note, and wanted to share it with the rest of us. I'm sure he will appreciate your comments...

If you don't care, stop posting. Keep posting like this, and I will make you not able to post.

Hey kid. (ooxj56). What happened to the "4x4 kids" According to your posts they were "running the cleanup" I didn't see them there. The post about this 96 year old woman and other posts have shown you're an idiot!

One of the great things about this site is the spirited debates which often get heated because we don't always agree with each other. ebsi posted this in "General Discussion" and that in my opinion was the appropriate place for this article.

Oh you didn't see the 50 + Jeeps when we met at the Ranger Sation?

I guess at your tender age you have yet to experience death. Some day your grandparents or your parents may reach 96 years of age. Why don't you tell them right now that you won't give a rat's ass when they die. Some day maybe your kids won't care when you die.

Good thing I wasn't raised to have that view of people that age. I will be lucky to make it to 50, so 96 is a major accomplishment. Imagine the stories you could tell.

 

[BEHR655]

I guess the down side of humans living longer is that we mature more slowly, as 00xj54 so eloquently has proven.

Tom, you'll make it to 50. Hell, if I did, anyone can.

I guess you are right. My bones lie to me.

Death's no joke.

Commenting on someone's passing with such a careless attitude confounds me, and judging by everyone elses postings, just plain pisses them off. Someone's death is not something to joke about. One day you will have to face the same end--I hope and pray your heart softens by then so that people will genuinely mourn your passing. If not, you will indeed be a lonely man.

 

[00xj54]

Yeah okay, thousands of people die everyday! Why is the single person more important then everyone else. Annnnd she was 96! She led a long life and it isn't a huge shock that she died. No one this page is related to her and no one knew her. None of you ACTAULLY cares because it doesn't effect your lives one bit. So cut the self rightous bull####.
