Jane Wyatt (August 12, 1910 – October 20, 2006) was an American actress. She starred in a number of Hollywood films, but likely is best known for her role as the housewife and mother on the NBC and CBS television comedy series, Father Knows Best, and as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of Spock on the science fiction television series Star Trek. Wyatt was a three-time Emmy Award-winner.
Jane Waddington Wyatt was born on August 12, 1910, in Mahwah, New Jersey, but raised in Manhattan. Her father, Christopher Billopp Wyatt, Jr., was a Wall Street investment banker, and her mother, the former Euphemia Van Rensselaer Waddington, was a drama critic for the Catholic World. Both of her parents were Roman Catholic converts.
Wyatt had two sisters and a brother.
One of her ancestors, Rufus King, was a signatory to the United States Constitution, a U.S. Senator and ambassador, and the Federalist candidate in the 1816 United States presidential election. Wyatt was a descendant, on her father's side, of British Royal Navy Captain Christopher Billopp, as well as a distant cousin of Eleanor Roosevelt and the poet Harry Crosby, through their shared descent from Philip Livingston, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
James David Graham Niven (1 March 1910 – 29 July 1983) was an English actor and novelist who was popular in Europe and in the United States. He may be best known for his roles as Squadron Leader Peter Carter in A Matter of Life and Death, as Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days and as Sir Charles Lytton, a.k.a. "the Phantom", in The Pink Panther. He was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Separate Tables (1958).
Born in London, Niven attended Heatherdown Preparatory School and Stowe before gaining a place at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. After Sandhurst he joined the British Army and was gazetted a second lieutenant in the Highland Light Infantry. Having developed an interest in acting, he left the Highland Light Infantry, travelled to Hollywood and had several minor roles in film. He first appeared as an extra in the British film There Goes the Bride (1932). From there, he hired an agent and had several small parts in films from 1933 to 1935, including a non-speaking part in MGM's Mutiny on the Bounty. This brought him to wider attention within the film industry and he was spotted by Samuel Goldwyn. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, Niven returned to Britain and rejoined the army, being re-commissioned as a lieutenant.

Television Mother Jane Wyatt speaks on behalf of the March of Dimes' fight for healthier babies.
If Spock's mother (wife & mother of two different ambassadors to Earth) was having money problems, I personally believe that Spock should have come to her rescue, by financially helping out his human parent. The green-blooded Vulcan should have dug deep to find a morsel of human emotion, and then use that emotion to help his mother avoid the indignity of selling a useless product to America's stay-at-home housewives.

Bennett often was the panelist who detected that there was more than one mystery guest. I always wonder if he sensed it when they walked in, as he was closest to them entering. Like maybe he could hear the difference or detect the dual "breeze" of two people walking by...

Endless love
I am here with you
You never knew that I felt for you
Endless love
And I'll always be with you
Endless love
I can see your smile
You never knew
But I ran thousand miles to find you
Now I'm happy to join our view
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
My endless love
I trust in you
You never knew but I felt secure
'cause of you everything will be allright
My endless love
You were meant for me
Tell everybody that it's you and me
And I wish this will last for eternity
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
And when the wind blows harder
Oh I will stand by you
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
