Grandma was a star!

In an interview in 2007, Gloria McMillan, who portrayed Harriett Conklin on both the radio and television versions of Our Miss Brooks, reveals that she had five children and eight grandchildren. She told of when her oldest grandson saw an entry about her in some sort of an encyclopedia and was hugely impressed.

She also told about having a tremendous crush on Richard Crenna, who played Walter Denton. He was then in college, and she was in high school. Crenna soon was married, and McMillan received an invitation. She was so devastated that she did not attend the service.
