Gloria Henry, the actress who played Dennis the Menace’s mom has died at the age of 98. Alice Mitchell tried to keep track of the little trouble-maker on the 1960’s CBS comedy that many remember fondly. Henry actually made her name in some “B” pictures before settling into the sitcom life opposite Herbert Anderson. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the details after receiving a statement from her daughter Erin this weekend. Dennis the Menace ran for four seasons back in 1959 and has imprinted on tons of people due to reruns. Dennis himself proved to be a bit of an archetype for generations of television’s mischievous boys.
