The actress had no regrets and loved her career, but it was secondary to raising her children.

So many actors get all butt hurt over the role that made them famous. Nice to know she was not one of them. Here's looking at you John Boy.

It seemed to me that her cameo in “Airplane!” gave her a whole new “second wind.”

I say that, but then again, I don’t speak jive…

For a cameo that was a classic. The antithesis of June Cleaver.
