Want to Meet Jerry Mathers From ‘Leave It to Beaver’? Here’s How, as Cast Prepare for Reunion!
It’s been over 60 years since Leave It to Beaver ended its six-season run, but fans are still enjoying the wholesome series in a never-ending array of reruns, as well as keeping up with the show’s star Jerry Mathers on his social media channels and in person.
Mathers was just 8 years old when he started playing the beloved Beaver (Theodore) Cleaver on the CBS series that ran from 1957-63. The forever-beaming Mathers, who just turned 77, will be attending the Hollywood Show on June 6 and 7, where fans can come out and meet him, and get a photograph or autograph, as well as enjoy all the other celebrities and panels planned for the weekend. The show is taking place at the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel at 2500 North Hollywood Way in Burbank, California.
