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.

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 Anonymous | reply 70 | September 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.
