I couldn't quite place the name, but Byron played Patty Duke's mom on the mid-60s sitcom The Patty
Duke Show ("They're couuuuuusins...identical cousins!"). She was also a semi-regular on The Many
Loves Of Dobie Gillis before that, and was once married to Michael Ansara, who was also once married to Barbara
Eden.
Byron died on February 3 in Mobile, AL, after getting an infection from hip replacement surgery.
