Item Description

We all know him best as "Wally Cleavor" on the television hit show "Leave It To Beaver," playing Beavor's older and wiser brother.  He was the level-headed, always calm brother that guided Beavor towards doing the right thing. And now you can own this unique doodle he personally created for our "Doodle for Disabilities" auction.

Tony Lee Dow (born April 13, 1945) is an American film producer, director and sculptor, and a television actor.

Dow is best known for his role in the television sitcom Leave It to Beaver, which ran in orimetime from 1957 to 1963. Dow played Wallace "Wally" Cleaver, the elder son of June (Barbara Billingsley) and Ward Cleaver (Hugh Beaumont), and the brother of Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver (Jerry Mathers).

Early life and career

Dow was born in Hollywood, California, to John Stevens, a designer and general contractor, and Muriel Virginia Dow (née Montrose) (May 27, 1906–April 30, 2001), a stunt woman in early Westerns and Clara Bow's movie double in Hollywood. In his youth, Dow was a Junior Olympics diving champion. He won the role of Wally Cleaver in a casting call, with almost no previous acting experience.

Dow remained on the series until it ended in 1963. After the run of Leave It to Beaver, he appeared on My Three Sons, Dr. Kildare, Mr. Novak (five episodes in three different roles), The Greatest Show on Earth, and Never Too Young. From 1965 to 1968, Dow served in the National Guard, interrupting his acting career. On his return to acting, he guest-starred in Adam-12, Love American Style, Square Pegs, The Mod Squad, The Hardy Boys and Emergency!

During the 1970s, Dow continued acting while working in the construction business and studying journalism and filmmaking. In 1987, he was honored by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award for his role as Wally Cleaver.[6]

Dow's most recent screen appearance was in the 2003 film Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star.
