The end of an era, it seems: David Nelson, the last surviving member of the iconic Nelson family of Ozzie and Harriet fame, has died at the age of 74 following a battle with colon cancer.
David had a less colorful part onscreen than his brother Ricky. Although both brothers ended up getting law degrees on the show like their father Ozzie did before he went into show business, I don't believe either of them ever went to college in real life. They didn't have to. David also directed and produced many episodes of the series as well as other projects.
He was married to June Blair, who appeared with him on the show in its later years, but they later divorced. He married his second wife in the mid-seventies and adopted her three children. Nelson is survived by his wife Yvonne, five children, and seven grandchildren.
More from the L.A. Times.
The Nelson family interviewed with Mike Douglas back in 1966:
