Mimi Gibson as Carol in "Happy Birthday, World", as Ellie in "Countdown to Marriage" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have you watched the episodes "Happy Birthday, World", "Countdown to Marriage" or "Tea for Three" ? My favorite child actress Mimi Gibson appearead in these three episodes. She played a different character in every episode, Carol in "Happy Birthday....", Ellie in "Countdown...." and a sorority girl in "Tea for....". Could you tell me anything about her character in these episodes ? Did she do a good job ? Do you even have pictures of screencaps of her in these episodes ? That would be so great, she was born in 1948 and appeared in "Houseboat" (1958) with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. She was a teenager/grown up while appearing on "My Three Sons". She was 18 when she appeared in "Happy...." (1966), 19 when she appeared in "Countdown....."(1967) and 20 when she appeared in "Tea..."(1968). I would like to know if she has changed alot cause I never saw pics of her as a grown up, here´s a childhood picture:

Hi! Houseboat is one of my favorite movies. I never knew there were any connections between it and My Three Sons. Thank for the info.

Mimi's appearances in My Three Sons were very brief. In "Happy Birthday World", Mimi's character tells Robbie and her girlfriends about when her mother mailed her a birthday cake. She's seen the most in "Countdown to Marriage". In "Tea for Three" she is seen the least. She tells Katie that she thinks the triplets are adoreable and asks for their names and wants to know how Katie could tell them apart.

I hope these screencaps help.

Thank you sooooooooo much for the info and especially for the pictures !!!!!!!!!! Since I first saw her in Houseboat I always wanted to know what she looked like when she was older......and now I finally have some pictures of her from the time after her carreer as a child star..........just recently a member of my Mimi Gibson yahoo group sent me a picture of her he found which was taken in 1999, I have a Yahoo group dedicated to Mimi and you can find the picture there, the link: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mimi_Gibson/ you have to be registered at yahoo to see the pics, because it´s a yahoo group but that´s pretty easy.......also many other pics there............thank you again, it was very nice to post the pics, can I use them for my group ? that would be nice and I´d give you credit.........she looks pretty in those caps, I recognized her because of her smile, her hair is much darker, especially in the last two pictures........but I think it changed from blonde to brown naturally when she got older, in her first movies it looks natural blonde but in 1961 (Children´s Hour) it looks dyed blonde already..........well thanks so much again !!!!!!!!!!
