Playing characters named Connie, Patsy, Annie, Kathy, Nancy, Penny, Sallie, Ellie - names that might have adorned any high-school yearbook, with hearts dotting the I's - Allyson held on to that amiable freshness for most of her career. She was the girl most likely to be hugged; the one who'd be nice to come home to; the postwar dream wife, if your dreams were domestic reveries that didn't get too lurid or extravagant...
