May God bless her! She was one of the great ladies of Movies and television's golden age. I didn't realise she was in her nineties. She had a great life! Jane made her first movie in the early thirties.
 
I'll never forget when I was in high school we were reading the book "Great Expectations". The teacher showed the movie in class (actually on film). Jane Wyatt was in it at a very young age. It must have been one of her first roles. I stood up and yelled there's Spock's mother! I didn't get in trouble. In fact, I think my teacher was inpressed that I was actually paying attention and drew attention to the film for the other kids.
 
RIP. Jane Wyatt was always a real professional. It was noted that she reprised her role as Spock's mother in the first Star Trek movie (mid 80s, I think). I remember thinking that she looked great - she must have been in her 70s at the time. It was either good genes, or clean living - and was borne out by her long life.
 
Jane Wyatt was born August 12, 1910.

She was 76 in STIV:TVH
57 at the time of Journey to Babel.
44-49 during the run of Father Knows Best
27 in Lost Horizon.
24 in Great Expectations.

She was three and a half years younger than Robert Young; 14 years older than Mark Lenard.
