Nelson, Harriet

Nelson, Harriet
▪ 1995

      (PEGGY LOU SNYDER) U.S. singer and actress (b. July 18, 1909, Des Moines, Iowa—d. Oct. 2, 1994, Laguna Beach, Calif.), became an American icon of motherhood as the radio and television matriarch who starred with her real-life family—husband Ozzie and sons David and Ricky—in the situation comedy "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." The show, which debuted on radio in 1944 before moving to television in 1952, aired until 1966, making it one of the longest-running family comedies. While singing under the name Harriet Hilliard, she met and married (1935) Ozzie, a bandleader. They appeared on the Red Skelton radio program during the 1940s and won an audience following with their unsophisticated and playful humour. When "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" first aired, David and Ricky were portrayed by child actors, but the boys began playing themselves in 1949. The show was billed as "radio's favorite family," and they capitalized on its popularity by making a film, Here Come the Nelsons (1952). She later appeared (1973) with her husband in the short-lived series "Ozzie's Girls," but was rarely seen after his death in 1975. Ten years later, Ricky was killed in a plane crash.
