December 8, 2008: Actress Beverly Garland Dies

The Associated Press reports that actress Beverly Garland, who played Lois Lane's mother on the TV series "Lois & Clark", has passed away, aged 82.

    Garland died Friday at her Hollywood Hills home after a lengthy illness, her son-in-law Packy Smith told the Los Angeles Times.

    Garland made her film debut in the 1950 noir classic D.O.A., launching a 50-year career that included 40 movies and dozens of television shows.

    Garland was born Beverly Fessenden in Santa Cruz, Calif., in 1926, and grew up in Glendale. She became Beverly Garland when she married actor Richard Garland. They were divorced in 1953 after less than four years of marriage.

    In 1960, she married real estate developer Fillmore Crank, and the couple built a mission-style hotel in North Hollywood, now called Beverly Garland's Holiday Inn. Garland, whose husband died in 1999, remained involved in running the North Hollywood hotel.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
