'Scarecrow and Mrs. King': Where Is The Cast Now?

The American TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King ran from 1983 to 1987. In the crime series, the divorced housewife "Amanda King" and operative "Lee Stetson," whose code name is "Scarecrow," work for the Agency. Let us show you what the two protagonists and the rest of the cast look like today!

The secret agent "Lee Stetson," whose code name is "Scarecrow," was played by Bruce Boxleitner. Along with his partner "Amanda," he solves difficult cases and prevents grave conflicts, even stopping one or two wars from starting.

Boxleitner was able to lead a successful acting career after Scarecrow and Mrs. King ended. He is most known for his roles in Babylon 5 as well as Gods and Generals, and also appeared on NCIS in 2017. His last role was in the series Matchmaker Mysteries in 2021. Bruce has been married twice and has three sons. He married press agent Verena King in October 2016.

Kate Jackson plays the divorced housewife "Amanda King," who is recruited by a fictional American secret service called the Agency. At first she works as an office assistant, but as she is repeatedly involved in undercover operations she receives special secret service training. The mother-of-two ends up working as an agent alongside "Lee Stetson" and even marries her partner in the fourth season. This is what the actress looks like nowadays...

Kate Jackson received her fourth Golden Globe nomination for her role as "Amanda King." The actress appeared in countless TV and film productions after her time on the show such as Ally McBeal and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Her most recent acting role was in an episode of Criminal Minds in 2007.

"Amanda" and her mother "Dotty West," played by the actress Beverly Garland, both live together with "Amanda's" sons in one house. "Amanda's" job is top secret which means she has to come up with numerous excuses to compensate for not spending time with her family. Therefore "Dotty" is left to take care of the kids while their mother goes on her "business trips." Click ahead to find out what happened to "Dotty"!

Back in the 1950s, Garland was already know for her role of the strong, independent woman. She played the town's sheriff in the western film Gunslinger, in 1956, as well as run-away convict in Swamp Woman in 1955. After Scarecrow and Mrs. King she acted in the series 7th Heaven. Garland sadly passed away in 2008 at the age of 82.

"Scarecrow's" boss, "Billy Melrose," was played by the actor Mel Stewart. "Billy" is a liberal, open-minded person who cares about his employees. He was the one who decided to give "Amanda" advanced training as well as to partner her up with "Scarecrow."

Mel Stewart wasn't only a successful actor, he was also a very talented musician with his favorite instrument being the saxophone. He played roles in a number of shows such as All in the Family and Harry O. On top of that he was an acting coach at the San Francisco State University. Sadly, Stewart died from Alzheimer's back in 2002 at the age of 72.

Not everybody in the workplace liked "Amanda." "Scarecrow's" colleague "Francine Desmond," played by the actress Martha Smith, constantly made fun of her because of her style as well as her motherly suggestions in the workplace. Later throughout the show, the two of them began to get along.
