6 Most Tragic Stories of 1970s Child Stars

I also remember all of them, but I think Allison Ingram handled everything the best. I am 60 years old, and I loved watching Little House on the Prairie, and I hated Nelly Olsen!😂😂😂❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Give it up.
Those of us who remembers are dieing/dead‼️

My best friend lives across from the Brady bunch house. I’m glad they decorated/remodeled it to be the same as the set. It was always disappointing to know it wasn’t the actual house, so when HGTV went in there I was really tickled.

He got sober and celebrated by drinking a bottle of Champaine. 🤨 comment # 666

AI voices on these docs have to go.

Radar and Di k York are and always wi be my favourite American sitcom stars

I know it was the 80s and not the 70s, but easily the most tragic child star was Judith Barsi. An insanely talented little girl who had her career and her precious little life snuffed out by the one man who should have dedicated his life to protecting her, her daddy. Barsi, who was best known as the voice of Ducky in "The Land before Time" and Anne-Marie in "All Dogs go to Heaven", was shot by her abusive, alcoholic father in her sleep, at the tender age of ten along with her mother, before the coward took his own life.

One child star from the 1970s who had fame appearing in both movies and TV series was Michelle Stacy. She appeared in films like Day of the Animals, Logan's Run and Airplane. She is perhaps best remembered for being the voice of the little orphan girl Penny in The Rescuers. After her appearance in Airplane! (her last film), Michelle retired from acting and kinda vanished into obscurity. She did end up marrying and lived with her husband in Hisperia, California. I have come across an article from four years ago about Michelle where she and her husband were both arrested for manufacturing and selling rock cocaine which they had in their bedroom.

Thanks👍🏼

meeting great famous people is difficult that's why it usually just happens you don't find it it finds you!
I met Danny Kaye while in a child home for behavioral problems in 1984 the actor was there to back the home financially and he did a lot of that during his life children were his main drive.
I was brought up with his movies unlike the other kids who had no idea of who he was also I was the only kid who knew how to speak English so, Kaye and I hit it off in seconds! I said to him ok they don't speak the language the song Inchworm could have an effect it's simple effective and repetitive so we started the background theme together and, sure the other kids went and sang it then we sang the Inchworm theme on top of that I was seated on Danny's lap and he held me fatherly I have never felt so safe in my life, to be honest, I never felt that safe ever again! the man was such a joy! and we got all the kids to sing inchworm from the Hans Christian Anderson movie he was magical and, discovering the professional kitchen he cooked for us! a day I felt the real bodily warmth of a Hollywood legend end result Epic! and something I'll never forget!
I love ya, forever Daniel kaminski!

Alcoholic encephalopathy 😮

Alcohol is the universal solvent … dissolves marriages, careers, families, and fortunes. 😢

One of the twins from Everybody Loves Raymond committed suicide.

I don't see what's so tragic about Eve Plumb. She made a fortune on her Malibu beach house she bought in 1969 when The Brady Bunch began. She's not living in any trailer with her mom going to cry at the local bar!

I remember morgan freeman from the electric company

What was in that squirt gun? Gizzzz?

Gross. Why is Erin Whatever using a dead lion as a pillow? Freakin nasty.

I love little house on the prairie, always a moral to the story. The series wouldn’t be the same without Nellie Oleson. Her and Harriet Oleson made great antagonists and brought good balance to the show…

I’m wondering how bad ya gotta be to get kicked out a trailer park?🥺

MAKE SMOKING HISTORY

she was a good actress here is flowers in her precious memory 🌺🌺

nice video 👍

They don’t do liver transplants for active alcoholics.

What was so tragic about Eve and Allison’s life? They seem to be doing just fine.

The voice singing in "Bring Yourself Back to Me" was Davey Jones. IDC what anyone says. I can't watch anymore. What not tell the truth.. I'm out.

You would hear about how wonderful the cast of Happy Days got along. It was supposedly just perfect. It doesnt sound like ( start with the actors who stared n it and made the most $ from the show and merch. So much when their fellow cast members had to sue to get what they were honestly due. The 2 that were getting their due didn't support the others ( as reported) if they had it would have been overmuch sooner and probably gotten more.

Hey. I Can Get That Cover For Medicare But It'd Be Nice Just To Find A Sundry Place JACK! Fox! Rock's Czar!

What a nostalgic watch, especially the Waltons & the Bradys 💜 I'm doing a jigsaw whilst watching & just heard that David Harper (Jim-Bob) likes jigsaws 😊

My favorite was Laura Ingalls played by Melissa Gilbert.

I loved Erin she was my first like idol or star girl crush. She was so pretty and happy days in the late 70s early 80s was a big deal in my home. It was our plop down on the floor with snacks with whole family to watch show. Laverne and Sheirly as well. Dont forget the dukes of hazard i still have a rusty old tv tray ( remember tv trays) and a rusty and lunch box with Daisy Boe and Luke they match so i guess they came in a set. I also still have a ton of jug head and Archie comic books. All this stuff I came so close to throwing away and just keep packed away then i see something like this and i remeber i have them . The good old days is not just a saying those days were so awesome man. Seems like we lost the ability to write good programming these days IDK nothing on lately that appeals to me everyth8ng is either politically correct pushing an agenda twisted and dark or just plain dumb guess there are a few but all in all we lost something along the way . Unfortunately stardom hasnt gotten any better for young people and kids sad truth is the horrors are put there now for all to know and still nothung is beung done to protect the kids from Hollywerid.

Very good ! & very interesting video Enjoyed your narrative
Very much 💜😊👍

Nellie Olson was my favorite character growing up. 💕

That thumbnail is a trip! Whats with her eyes on the left?

I got lost. Too much bouncing around. What did I watch? Never again!

I loved Alison as Nellie! She played the spoiled mean girl that wasn't really vicious so well. But I am lucky enoigh to be able to recognize real life life from acting a part.

I'd love to see Kristy McNichol in an episode.

Happy Days really fucked-up america. making citizens think being fascist christians is the right way to get to the runty-ray-gun. this sucks. jonie loves chachy? wht is wrong with you.

How was Eve Plumb's story tragic?

Terrible editing! You go from one David, straight to another David, making it look like it's the same one. No last name, not even a seam between the two stories. Check your editor, he's doing a crappy job.

Eve also was on the show as Fudges mom. I loved that show

The tragedy? They all got old.

This video was not well done. I'm surprised you have more than 1/10th the number of subscribers you have. The whole thing is formulaic and cliche.

Who is this weird voiced announcer. He isnt good in anyway.

Jack Wild was my favorite of all favorites!

Wow, the narrator sounds SO condescending and really creepy! But the good news is, he's so damn boring.
And hey, guess what? We can go to either Wikipedia or IMdB to get a more comprehensive understanding of these stars without this guy's weird voice - which reminds me of a strange man offering little kids candy, if you know what I mean,,,

I was in love with David Cassidy. I had a radio under my oillow and they'd play I think I l Love You first thing in the morning. In my mind he was singing it to me and me only

Just a note. I didn't get involved with stardom but as a musician, going pro at 15, I was around many stars and the one that I was good friends with, Tommy Bolin, woke me up. I did some drugs and losing my friend, Tommy, I am glad I decided to just enjoy the good money and small limelight opting for the background job. Today, at 75, I went through the trials but get to enjoy playing music and enjoying it. The pressure of the stars is unbelievable and I don't think any story can portray the inner suffering.
I enjoyed the videos here and hope people will understand this. If you see a star in public, just smile and nod. That's the best way to go.

I grew up with The Brady Bunch.
I kind of wish I didn't know those extras
