Her TV family - from left, Billy Gray, Robert Young, Elinor Donahue and Laurin Chapin, members of the "Father Knows Best" series, will be going in different directions now that the show has been taken off the air. The cast became closer than most real life families as they worked together 12 hours a day five days a week for the past six years. It will take a while to get over the loss. (UPI Telephoto) Jane Wyatt's Family 'Wiped Out' As 'Father Knows Best' Series Ends .Hollywood -(UPD- What hap pens to a television star when her entire family is wiped out over night? ; Jane Wyatt had that happen to her when "Father Knows Best" was yanked from the air. Comparing it with the loss of a real family isn't entirely superficial. . Jane in the role of Margaret Anderson lived and worked with her TV family five days a week, 12 hours a day for six years. The highly rated show was a way of life for the cast. They became closer than most real life families. Felt Double Life "I truly had a feeling of liv ing a double life . with two families. I treated the children on the show as if they were my own. Lauren Chapin was only 8 when we began. Billy Qray was 15 and Elinor Don ahue 16. "Bob Young and I watched them grow up, helped them along and suffered with their minor problems. Those things don't fade easily." - Jane, whose soft, gentle manners remind one of the role she played for so long, said she had hoped the series would continue until she and Young became TV grand- , parents. . "Then the kids could have carried on the show by them selves with only occasional visits from Bob and me." - The program is in prime time reruns now, but no more "Father Knows Best" shows will be made again. Neverthe less, Jane keeps in close con. tact with the "family." "I see more of Billy than the others." she said. "He stops by the house regularly and brings along his new wife, a beautiful Italian girl he met wonderful boy. We talk as if he were my own son (Jane has two boys of her own). Busy Teen-Ager ' "Lauren is in high school now and very busy being a teen-ager. "Elinor is very much en grossed in her new series, 'The Andy Griffith Show'." Jane also is concerned about Young's future. "Bob is starting a new series soon, and I'm dying to find out what it is all about. He calls me once in a while and we gab on the phone for hours." Jane works occasionally, collects residual checks from the reruns and says emphati cally, "I don't want to think of another series right now. I need more time to get away from being Margaret Ander son." Quotes From the News BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Dallas, Tex.
