    Beverly Garland has combined the raising of four children with starring in 41 feature films and nearly 700 television programs to establish a list of entertainment industry credits perhaps unmatched for its combination of diversity and volume.

She has played opposite many of Hollywood’s most popular leading men-from Charles Boyer and David Niven to Clint Eastwood and Frank Sinatra.

Ms. Garland’s film debut was in a supporting role in the 1950 classic film noir, “D.O.A,” starring Edmond O’Brien. Her television career began in the same year with appearances in a variety of dramas which led to starring roles in the most celebrated live dramas of fifties, “Playhouse 90” and “Lux Video Theater.”

She was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1954 for her role, co-starring with Lee Marvin, as a leukemia-stricken mother in “Medic.”

In 1957, she made television history, becoming both the first actress to star in the title role of a dramatic series and becoming television’s first policewoman when she played NYPD officer Casey Jones in “Decoy.”

She has been a regular in eight TV series, including co-starring as Bing Crosby’s wife in his series, Fred MacMurray’s wife in the long-running “My Three Sons,” and Kate Jackson’s Mother in “Scarecrow and Mrs. King.”

Her feature films range from dramatic hits such as “The Joker is Wild,” with Frank Sinatra and “Desperate Hours,: with Humphrey Bogart, to sci-fi favorites “It Conquered the World,” with Peter Graves, and “The Alligator People” with Lon Chaney Jr. to classic westerns “Gunslinger” with John Ireland and “Where the Red Fern Grow,” with James Witmore.

In 1983, Beverly was awarded her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2001 she was inducted into the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters Hall of Fame. To mark her 50 years in show business, the City of Los Angeles proclaimed January 19, 2001 “Beverly Garland Day in Los Angeles.”

In 1999 her husband of 39 years died, and since then she has combined her acting career with an increased devotion to the hotel he built and named after her, the 255-room resort style Beverly Garland Holiday Inn and Conference Center in North Hollywood, California.
