Sloane, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, writing, "Today, my godmother, Barbra Fuller, passed away.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Barbra fondly recalled her time on the show, saying, "It was a fun part. Claudia was a good girl with interesting qualities."
In February 1951, Barbra married Western film star Lash LaRue. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they divorced in June 1952 after separating in November of the previous year. Despite this, Barbra continued to thrive in her career, signing a contract with Republic Pictures in 1949 and starring in 13 films, including "Flame of Youth" and "The Red Menace." She even made a guest appearance on the popular TV show "Adventures of Superman."
Barbra Fuller may have left this world, but her legacy will continue to live on through her unforgettable performances and the memories she leaves behind. She will always be remembered as a talented actress, a beloved godmother, and a cherished friend. Rest in peace, Barbra.
