Beverly Garland of CBS’s “My Three Sons” in 1969
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beverly Garland, the B-movie actress who starred in 1950s low-budget hits like “Swamp Women” and “Not of This Earth” and went on to play Fred MacMurray’s second wife on the CBS television series “My Three Sons,” died here on Friday. She was 82.
Ms. Garland died at her Hollywood Hills home after a lengthy illness, her ***-in-law Packy Smith told The Los Angeles Times.
Ms. Garland made her film debut in the 1950 noir classic “D.O.A.,” beginning a career that lasted more than 50 years and included some 40 movies and dozens of television shows.
She gained something of a cult status for playing tough, hard women in pictures like “The Alligator People” (1959) and Roger Corman films like “Gunslinger” (1956), “It Conquered the World” (1956) and “Naked Paradise” (1957).
R.I.P. One of the Icons of "B" movies.
