Who’s Still Alive from ‘The Donna Reed Show’?

From 1958 to 1966, Donna Reed starred as the quintessential 1950s TV mom, Donna Stone, on The Donna Reed Show. Carl Betz was cast as her husband, Dr. Alex Stone, but it was Reed who led the charming black-and-white family sitcom, which revolved around the everyday joys and dilemmas of suburban life.

In its later seasons, The Donna Reed Show introduced recurring characters, but, at its core, the show remained focused on the lighthearted adventures of the Stone family. Though the sitcom was widely embraced during its time, today, it’s often viewed as a series that could be considered quite sexist, with its heroine synonymous with the perfect middle class housewife. But despite its age, The Donna Reed Show still holds a special place in television history, and its cast continued to various ventures long after the series ended.
