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.

Internet does NOT show her name clearly +-
Here are 4 different internet sources

Maybe someone here can do better +-

Does her boyfriend call her Alice ?

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

Dude111 · 08-01-2026, 10:21 PM
