Career

Stevens was reported to have left the show in 1960 because his family moved from Burbank to Philadelphia.[1] Barbara Billingsley, who played "June Cleaver" on the series, said in a TV Archive interview that Stevens was fired because his overbearing mother caused grief for the producers of the series.[2]

Stevens briefly returned to acting when he reprised his role as Larry Mondello in the 1983 made-for-television reunion movie Still the Beaver.[3]
