I'm talking about the other kids that Wally and Beaver knew - I know the girl who played Judi Hensler is a retired beautician, but where are these "kids" now?

- Penny
- Chopper
- Harry
- Johhny- the kid who was in military school who came to visit
- the new guy that Wally befriended who played the piano that everybody made fun of
- Alma
-Francis (sweater snatching queen)
-Charles

Chopper was played by Barry Gordon, He kept on acting ('A Thousand Clowns', 'Jack Benny', 'The New Dick Van Dyke Show', etc.) and also was a prominent voice actor. He was a long-running president of the Screen Actors Guild and has long been active in left-wing Democrat politics.

There, I've picked the easy one. Lol. I think the guy who played Dudley (the piano player) also has an extensive resume.

Thanks! Ya, I thought I saw Dudley(couldn't rememebr his name to save my life, lol) on a ep of Bachelor Father....

I guess the reason I'm asking is because last night I saw the Leave it To Beaver Movie that was made in 1997 and I just got to thinking about all the friends they had and what happened to those actors...I know Cheryl Holdridge died (my heart cracked in half), and I knew about the others but wanted to know about the "less significant" ones...

Ann Barnes who played Frances Hobbs was in a short lived TV series called Blondie where she would dance her way in and out of scenes. She made a few appearances like on LITB and My Three Sons. She tried her hand at singing and recorded Whispering Wind. She had a difficult childhood and suffered at the hands of abusive parents. She died in 2005 alone and Paul Petersen wrote a loving tribute to her. (Wikipedia)

OMG, that's a shame what happened to her....I remember watching Blondie when it was in reruns back in 1969 on Sun mornings...NOW I remember her!! Oh God, that's just AWFUL how she was treated.....Now I have to go back to PP's site and read that article he wrote about her and Tommy Bond - don't think I read it the first time I was there...

Thanks Scrabjan!

Nope, I asked you to link to it which is what we usually do around here when providing a source for information. Anyone can claim they read things on Wiki, IMDb, etc... but a link provides proof of the source.

I see that GrtGzu has already done this although it wasn't their place to do so.

Chopper (Barry Gordon) teamed up with Jerry Mathers again on The Dating Game cira 1966. Like the reincarnations, The "eligible bachelors" would be asked a series of questions and the team with the most points at the end of the game got to go on a date, (paid for by the producers) with a chaperone for the couple. Jerry outscored Barry! His date and he won a trip to England!

That's ok and no apology necessary.

Cant remember the actors name, but Harry made a few appearances on My Three Sons. Whats he done since then, I dont know.

Anyway thanks for the info and thanks GrtGzu for the link. I didn't know I had to put the link...I was just doing the foot notes thing. I'm going to check out Blondie on Youtube.
