From TV Land to the Louvre

Awww, Wally—this is great.

Tony Dow, who played The Beav’s older brother, Wally Cleaver, in that classic of Cold War Americana, Leave it to Beaver, will soon have a sculpture on display at the Louvre.

Dow’s piece is a bronze, abstract figure of a woman holding a shield; it’s titled “Unarmed Warrior.” The work is one of three by American artists selected for the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts exhibition.

Pretty keen, no? Congrats, Wal....um...Mr. Dow.
