The part of the Jive Lady in "Airplane!" was originally intended for Harriet Nelson, who had played the mother in the 1950s sitcom "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." She turned it down because she was concerned about the film's adult language. She was replaced with Barbara Billingsley who played the mother in the 1950s sitcom "Leave It to Beaver." Nelson later admitted to "Airplane!" star Robert Hays that she regretted not taking the part.
