Diana Millay, who played Laura Collins on the original DS. Some internet sources claim she was on Father Knows Best (as A guest star). Anyone know if this is true and if it is what FKB ep did Ms. Millay guest star in? I'd appreciate the feedback. Thank You!

I know you posted this a while back, but I just found out she was. Not sure what episode though.

Diana Millay played Diane in "Not His Type" ( Episode # 27 ) and Nelda Freemont in "Love and Learn" ( Episode # 31 ) in 1960 on "Father Knows Best" . I wonder if "Father Knows Best" fans noticed that she played one character on one episode, and another character four episodes later . Other shows Diana Millay appeared in were "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", "Maverick", "Bonanza", "Gunsmoke", "Route 66", and "My Three Sons" .

Yes, it was quite odd. A VERY young Diana Millay!

They were at the end of the series and casting might have said, Well, we have another role you'd be perfect for...

I haven't watched DS for awhile. I remember she burned up (supposedly) in a boathouse as David watched early on, and returned later in the color episodes.
