Pat Crowley is DEAD TO ME!

I don't think they run "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" any more, even on the mesothelioma channels.

Not a huge star but I always like her. She was nice looking and seemed to have a pleasant disposition.

She was an ideal beleaguered but loving mom on Please Don’t Eat the Daisies. Very likable and relatable.

She was ubiquitous in 1960s television.

by Anonymousreply 24September 16, 2025 2:45 AM

In that sitcom she successfully waded through an awful scene with Bonnie Franklin playing a homely college student who had a crush on her husband.

She did soaps. She did movies. She did stage. She did primetime TV

She could do anything.

She even drove a 1964 Plymouth.

Who names a car Plymouth?

She was in a couple of Paramount movies in 1953-54. Red Garters starring Rosemary Clooney and Forever Female with Ginger Rogers.....both fun to watch if they're streaming anywhere.

by Anonymousreply 59September 17, 2025 2:50 PM

She was also the female lead in Hollywood or Bust, the final Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis movie (Anita Ekberg was the other female star). She sang in the movie (adequately).

At the end of Forever Female, a few years earlier, she got a special mention, something like "Paramount's Star of Tomorrow", with a full-screen image of her. They obviously had a huge amount of confidence in her. But she never made the A list, did she?

Beverly Garland had a fun, boozy, bad girl trashy side. My grandmother hated seeing her play all sweet and domestic on My Three Sons and filled me in on some of her B movie roles as a "filthy trollop"

Then she turned up as a boozy, trashy, single mother in a TV movie. I kinda liked her. A lot more fun than the mother of that loud little cretin on My Three Sons.

by Anonymousreply 70September 17, 2025 8:43 PM

She played the “filthy trollop” on more than a few Gunsmokes. R70. In 2 she had the audacity to try to take Matt away from Miss Kitty. In another she set her cap for Nick Barclay, um, I mean Peter Breck.

Actually, the episode with Breck was really well done and touching. Garland was the bitter saloon girl desperate for a better life and Breck was the bitter Civil War vet giving up on life. They don’t end up together in the end, but it’s made pretty clear that after each has done some healing they’ll find each other again. “The Odyssey of Jubal Tanner” is one of the best Gunsmoke episodes, I think, and I’ve seen them all multiple times.
