They had a Bendix kitchen with a very baroque electric range and the washer and dryer across the kitchen. There were Westinghouse appliances also. I remember the WH 40 inch range. Years ago, I read something about the child actors of that period and the three "Anderson" children talked about how Jane Wyatt spent so much time with them on the set between takes, but Robert Young, who had a drinking problem, was not close to the children at all and was never there except when they were filming. Monday evening, Chris Matthews said that in the stories about Jane Wyatt, her children and grandchildren & great grandchildren said that she was the same wonderful mother to them as she was on screen. That is really a remarkable statement.
Wasn't it when Kenmore introduced the Dual Action Agitator, that they had the ad campaign with the three television mothers discussing laundry? They had Barbara Billingsley (who will be 91 on 12/22), Jane Wyatt and one other. I am quite sure that it was not Harriet Nelson because she had too much of an association with Hotpoint. Could it have been Shirley Jones?
