Moran's children, she is perhaps her mother's secret favorite. Petite, dark and unsophisticated Eileen, at twenty has secured a foothold on the ladder of artistic success through her beautiful singing voice. Yet today she is not quite so sure that her first ambition--to have a career--is more worthwhile than love, family and a home." Terry Moran: "Mother Moran's 'first born,' Terry is thirty-three, tall, and like his sister Eileen, dark. He has had his ups and downs, but is now well established as an executive of an advertising agency. A devoted father and husband, his deep affection for little Lucy and Bobbie, and for his wife, Dorothy, is generally concealed by his undemonstrative manner." Dot: "In Dorothy, we find the typical young mother of today, meeting the new and yet old problems of wifehood and motherhood with present-day intelligence and spirit. She has been obliged to live in close contact with her husband's family because of economic necessity, but has met the situation with rare sympathy and understanding." Lucy: "'Do you know what?' characterizes little Lucy, the self-appointed bearer of news between the various households of 'Today's Children.' This pert but intelligent youngster, who recently celebrated her tenth birthday, has been a constant source of joy, and amusement, and affection, to the entire family." Dick Crane: "Richard Crane, Bob's brother, is twenty-two, dark and impulsive. He is typical of the farm boy who has tasted both college and the city and so feels that he can never reconcile himself to future on the farm, even though business connections have help him there until very recently. He is eager and ambitious to rise in the world." Bob Crane: "The idealism that characterizes Robert Crane may have come from his childhood spent on a farm. His fine family background, together with his early contact with Mother Nature, have given him high ideals and a broad understanding and tolerance. At thirty, he is a successful young attorney, becoming more and more involved in reform politics." Kay: "A dark, striking brunette of twenty-eight, Mrs. Robert Crane (Katherine Norton) is at times wholheartedly generous toward others, and again utterly selfish in her desire for happiness. She was a successful young business woman before her marriage, but felt she had realized her fondest dream when she became a wife and home-maker." 1943-1950 series Six years following the end of the original series, Phillips created a new
