Talk:Jan Clayton

Reverted use of "beloved"
I have reverted the edit that added "beloved" in the paragraph about the TV episode "The Man Who Wouldn't Die". The sister may have been beloved, but that is opinion and therefore needs attribution. Eddie Blick (talk) 14:12, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Was "Gramps" really cantankerous?
One sentence in the section Career reads as follows:

"Clayton played the first four seasons of Lassie, from September 1954 to December 1957, as Ellen Miller, a war widow living on her father-in-law's farm with her preteen son, Jeff, and her late husband's cantankerous old father, Gramps (played by the Canadian-born George Cleveland)."

But was the Gramps character really "cantankerous"? I remember him as being overwhelmingly loving and comforting, and getting along just fine with the characters Jeff and Ellen.

ALSO: The show ended precipitously after the Gramps actor George Cleveland died. It is mysterious that the end of the show (before it segued to the "Timmy" version) in the article is attributed only to contract issues with Jan Clayton and Tommy Rettig, with no mention of Cleveland's death.
