Keefer’s Under Land

Or

It Was a Good Life

Don Keefer, whose bad thoughts got him turned into a jack in the box, has died at the age of 98. With more than 150 credits in a 50-year career, but only 1 recurring role, Keefer was the quintessential “Hey, it’s that guy,” with only his role in It’s a Good Life, where Billy Mumy as a child of limitless power who wishes those who displease him into the cornfield, standing out. Keefer’s death leaves only Mumy and Cloris Leachman, who produced the hell spawn, left alive from that episode.
