Jane Wyatt Dies
When most people think of great TV moms, their minds immediately go to Carol Brady, June Clever, Clair Huxtable, that surrogate mom from The Facts of Life, and they forget the smaller but equally important moms. Like Spock's human mother, for instance. Jane Wyatt, portayer of Spock's mother (and, with Wyatt Earp, a great "before-and-after" clue) has died at the age of 96. While her Emmy-winning role as Margaret Anderson in the classic series Father Knows Best may have brought her the most notoriety, it was her contribution to Mr. Spock's gene pool that gave the science officer the ability to make the occasional out-of-character joke that allowed us to laugh away the fact that we just watched yet another episode of Star Trek based on finding a planet that mimics Earth's past. She is survived by two children, none Vulcan.
