Is Barbara Bel Geddes still alive? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have not heard anything about Barbara Bel Geddes, who played Miss Ellie, since the show went off the air. I know she left for a season for heart surgery, and Donna Reed took over the role. But, I had not heard anything about her health since the show went off the air.

Any ideas, anyone?

Barbara Bel Geddes is still alive, but is in bad health. Donna Reed, 1984-1985's Miss Ellie, died in January 1986.
