True ?
google says:
Miss Landers' Fiancé" (Season 4, Episode 7)Original Air Date: November 12, 1960 How it is revealed: Her first name is shown visibly on an engagement announcement in a newspaper prop in the episode, as the spoken dialogue on the show otherwise always refers to her only as "Miss Landers".

I forgot that it was in the newspaper clipping.

Early in the episode, when Mr. Brittingham picks her up for their tennis date, he calls her Alice.

In his book, And Jerry Mathers as The Beaver, Jerry states that we never found out what her first name was.

Show stars should leave the trivia to the fans.

We assume they had a long engagement period, since she was called Miss Landers until her final appearance in a season 5 episode.

Being a self-described expert on this show I never heard her first name EVER! Too bad she passed this year. She would be a perfect teacher to have had in elementary school.

Did she quit Hollywood, or did Hollywood quit her? Why would she be an administrator for professional organizations? Isn't that a secretary?

I think I read she moved to Philadelphia. At least Rusty Stevens wrote that he ran into her there (he has posted on Facebook, and someone ported some of that over here.)

Sounds like secretarial work, all right.

Unofficially during her Hollyweird days Sue Randell was a heavy cigarette smoker and know to enjoy alcohol as well +-

I always wished she would have been The Beaver's teacher starting in season one as Miss Canfield was so boringly bland.

I was watching the Missouri Traveler today with Lee Marvin.
Apparently he too was a heavy cigarette smoker and loved the drink as well.

Conked out early, as Beaver would say.

I always felt it was unrealistic that Mrs Rayburn didn't call her teachers by their first names especially when they weren't with the students.

Alice Landers: Well, Corny, are we going to suspend Beaver this time?

Cornelia Rayburn: This was the last straw for me, Alice. That Martian sweatshirt did him in.

Miss Canfield was played by Diane Brewster. On Family Affair, Season 2, she plays an old friend of Bill's from back in Terre Haute. They do not date (though spending a little time together): her character is a married woman, visiting Bill with her husband.
