Have a great birthday Jerry.

1948 eh? That mean Jerry was 9 when the series began. I would have thought he was younger. I think Beav was supposed to be 6 or 7 in the 1st year. Maybe Jerry was small for a 9-year-old.

TV-Tome says Jerry was "7 when the series began". ....

This site also claims Beav was 7 in 1957. ..........

Kind of interesting re. the age differential. Because it means Jerry was almost 15 when the final ("Scrapbook") episode was filmed; but he was playing 13, and just "graduating" from the 8th grade.

On the flip side: Tony Dow played his actual age throughout the series .... he was 12 when the series began (being born on April 13, 1945); and almost 18 (and appropriately graduating from high school) when the series concluded.

FYI -- Jerry was born in Sioux City, Iowa. Tony was born right in Hollywood.

I went to the box on the left "Smilies" and selected those ones (cake, HELLO, you rock, etc), then I attached the picture by going to the bottom where it says "Attach File" and I uploaded it. Hope this helps

Wow, I didn't know he was that old! That makes him 4 months younger than my granmother!

Michael [hXc] · 06-02-2004, 04:36 PM

That's young for a grandmother in my family. My grandmother is 73!
