I thought I would create a few lists concerning the cast members of My Three Sons and Family Affair, beginning with the actors who have passed on. In this first list, the year listed marks the actor’s death (and FA obviously stands for Family Affair).

Already we see that it’s been 10 years since we lost Beverly Garland, and this year also marks 40 years for Kathryn Givney. We had a disastrous 2012, but thankfully we haven’t had to report a loss of any major cast member since then:

1966 William Frawley - Age 79
1976 Anissa Jones FA - Age 18
1977 Sebastian Cabot FA/M3S - Age 59
1978 Kathryn Givney [Grandma Collins - Katie’s grandmother] - Age 81
1983 William Demarest - Age 91
1986 Heather Angel [FA - Miss Faversham] - Age 77
1991 Eleanor Audley [Barbara’s mom - Mrs. Vincent] - Age 86
1991 Fred MacMurray - Age 83
1992 Nancy Walker [FA - Emily Turner] - Age 69
1997 Brian Keith FA- Age 75
2000 Meredith MacRae - Age 56
2002 Gregg Fedderson FA - Age 53
2005 Joan Tompkins [Katie’s mom - Lorraine Miller] - Age 89
2008 Beverly Garland - Age 82
2012 Norman Alden [Polly’s dad - Tom Williams] - Age 87
2012 Doris Singleton [Sally’s mom, Polly’s mom] - Age 92
2012 Don Grady - Age 68

Your suggestions and comments will be most welcome. I have not yet included some of the "non-family" actors, like Benson Fong ("Ray Wong"), but may add in those who made several appearances. ~~ Jim

I think John Gallaudet played Steve's boss - 1983 - Age 80.

Benson Fong (Ray Wong) - 1987 - Age 70.

Leon Ames (Dr. Osborne) - 1993 - Age 91.

Jane Wyman (Sylvia Cannon) - 2007 - Age 90.

Rose Marie (Genevieve Goodbody) - 2017 - Age 94.

Anne Jeffreys (Mrs. Carstairs) - 2017 - Age 94.

Sylvia Sydney (Miss Houk) - 1999 - Age 88.

Ed Begley (Mr. Storfmann) - 1970 - Age 69.

Anne Baxter (Eileen Talbot) - 1985 - Age 62.

Leslie Parrish (Flame La Rose) - still with us - b. 1935 - Age 83.

Yvonne Craig (meter maid who was Robbie's girlfriend in Episode 222 "If At First" - 2015 - Age 78.

Susan Oliver (Jerry Harper) - 1990 - Age 58.

Jaye P. Morgan - singer in #228 "A Falling Star" - still with us - Age 86.

Jackie De Shannon (Peggy Snell) - still with us - b. 1944 - Age 73

Constance Moore (Mrs. Snell) - 2005 - Age 84 or 85.

Eddie Foy Jr. (bum Ernie befriended) - 1983 - Age 78.

Frank De Vol (composer) - 1999 - Age 88.

We could also get into other behind the scenes people, like Don Fedderson, George Tibbles, Peter Tewksbury, Richard Whorf, Gene Reynolds, James V. Kern, James Sheldon, Fred De Cordova, Earl Bellamy.

Amazingly, Marsha Hunt (Aunt Cecile from season 8) b. 1917, is still alive (Age 100).

Many thanks -- if only everyone could live in good health to 100 as apparently Marsha Hunt has.

A lovely lady passed on over 20 years ago - Joanna Cook Moore (Charley's dancing lessons) - 1997 - Age 63

And another sad loss, again relatively young - Lori Martin (neighbor, Rob & Katie's apartment) - 2010 - Age 62

I see Ms. DeShannon and Ms. Morgan on your list -- here are 2 more stars from the world of music:

Micky Dolenz - still with us - b. 1945 - Age 73

Jeremy Clyde (Paul Drayton) - still with us - b. 1941 - Age 77
