I loved this show as a kid. Family affair was a great show was so sad to know Buffy lost her life. I loved Brian Keith & cissy was a beautiful big sister. I just loved family affair & all the actors / actress No I didn't know about his deug issues but glad he got help & got off of them
A Family Affair was one of my favorite TV programs when I was a child. I'm glad to hear that Johnny Whitaker was finally able to defeat his demons and start helping others with the same issues or worse. It's a Damn shame, Buffy played by Anissa Jones died of a overdose at such a young age prayers go out to her family and friends
I loved this show! Brian Keith was quite the heartthrob and my mother was not immune. One of her sisters lived next door to his mother in Covina, California. So, she became acquainted with Brian. Mrs. Keith was a dear and had a bit of a career in Hollywood in the early part of the 20th century. Mom was dying to meet Brian and it looked like we would have our chance during one of our Summer visits to California. Brian was going to take us to a taping of an episode of A Family Affair! We were both SO excited but something came up and, being just a child, I can’t remember if it was a personal or a show biz thing that cropped up and cancelled our on set visit. We were crushed! But a few years later my brother arranged for us to attend a taping of That Girl! I couldn’t get over how pale and small Marlo was…and that HUGE brunette hair-do! She came over and chatted with us for a few minutes and signed a head shot for us. Her smile was just stunning and she was SO sweet! It was a good day
@@FactsVerse Ooo that’s a difficult question! I loved the one (Pilot mabey)? Where the kids meet Mr French. Jody asks who is he & Buffy says “he’s the Maid”!!! The look he gives em is Hilarious!! He’s sweet but a bit Uppity & refers to his job as a “Gentleman’s Gentleman” Great show I use to never miss it!!✌️
Great show, one of my favorite as a child! So much pressure for children, so sad!! Happy to hear he's back on his track & helping others with his story, I am sure he has been able to help many. For Anisa such a tragic story! working with children as I have, never ceases to amaze me that kids have no adults around them to be a mentor, guidance, etc to lean on, after so much fame so early, and always being told yes, then it becomes no...so tragic. Truly a tragic story, that could of been prevented. Hollywood isn't for kids. Ty for sharing.
Johnny Whitaker went to the same middle school I went to, Olive Vista Middle School, in Sylmar, CA. I only saw him once there though, and the kids there were just all over him. I felt sorry for him but he handled it very well.
Wow it’s a blessing that John Whitaker survived his substance abuse. I also deal with an addiction with substances but I found Jesus. I also believe that it was a curse and a tragedy that young girl who played his sister on “FAMILY AFFAIR” died so young of a drug overdose. At the age of 18 how tragic!
Big fan of the show, grew up watching it, glad that Johnny Windtaker got clean and is helping others with there drug problems, my self I a drug awareness officer and practitioner and promote for drug and crime prevention seminars and functions..
I was just confirming my understanding of Anissa Jones auditioning for the role of Regan in The Exorcist and along with Pamelyn Ferdin they were both considered "too recognizeble" due to other roles they played. Also Denise Nickerson - Violet from Willy Wonka was going to try out but her parents were disturbed by the storyline!
He's about 6 years older than me so I grew up watching him. I remember Family Affair when I was very young. Tom Sawyer is still my favorite movie from childhood & still like watching it. I was going into 2nd grade when it came out & starting to like girls & Jodi Foster at the time was my 1st Hollywood crush. Also, in the mid 70's every Saturday my sibs & me would never miss Sigmund & the Sea Monsters.
We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet Johnny. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see?
I knew about the little actress who played Buffy. But I didn’t know about Johnny Whitaker and his problems with drugs. Seems like too many actors get involved with drugs and drinking. And at a young age! I’m so happy he’s still around and that he’s helping others.
I thought that Johnny Whitaker was great in Sigmund and the Seamonsters. I remember hearing him say that he insisted on being called Johnny on the show, because he got tired of being called Jody from family affair. He was a great actor. I think that child startum to a toll on him. Great video.
Oh Thank You for posting this! I was a kid in the 60’s too & grew up Lovin this little guy. I remember hearin about “Buffy” years ago that was so sad. Really good to know Johnny came out of it ! (So many don’t) He was just adorable & Still is. ❤✌️
I didn't know of Johnny's Drug additions and BTW Scott C. Kolden as he's credited in Mystery in Dracula's Castle also played Johnny's Younger Brother before he did in Sigmund and The Sea Monsters.
My family and I always enjoyed A Family Affair when I was a kid and was shocked that Anisa Jones had died from a drug overdose. I remember Johnny's other shows he was in as well and am happy that he got clean of the drugs that affected his life. Acting in Hollywood for a young person seems to take a toll on many especially if they don't have a balanced parental guidance in their lives to keep them safe from the influences that Hollywood has. Dana Plato is another young actress who could have used Johnny's help with her drug problems but unfortunately she died from an overdose while living in her parents RV. I wish Johnny luck in his future and thanks for the entertainment but especially what he's trying to do for addicts today.
I watch family affair every morning my favorite is with Eve Eve plumb from Brady bunch it's about when she was sick little girl and they had Xmas early cuz she was dying 🎉🎉❤
There’s no way he could be 63 years old. If I had a guess his age it would be in his middle 70s alcohol and drugs really miss him up especially his face.
Whitaker washed his clothes once when I was there at the laundromat, a long time ago. He was still easily recognizable but I wouldn't know him by his pictures now.
Family Affair was a wonderful show, my favorite actor was Mr French in that show & of course Judy and Buffy 2 of the cutest child stars in that show.loved it. Thanks for another great video from the good old days & shows Mr Blane that will never returns agian, ever.
It's too bad about Buffy lost her life to drugs she was a cute girl I liked family affair it's on catchy comedy glad johnny.whitaker is doing good vickie napa.california
Hey does anyone notice that Whitaker has curly hair in some of the footages and photos in this video? What’s the deal with the curly hair? I thought that was a sin in Hollywood!
Lol, I hate that too. "... experimenting with drugs and alcohol" Indulging more like it. And poor Buffy took drugs because of "early fame" ?? And the rest of the druggies have no excuse and get locked away with real criminals. Yeah, something wrong with the system, but how else would they get their money?

The story of Buffy’s death is not really news. Where have you been all these years?
It was a good show, but it ended rather strangely.
I really appreciate how he stood up for Buffy after She died.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
He seems like a “Jimmy Stewarty” kinda Nice Guy don’t he
It's good to hear he is doing well and helping others with their addiction.

He maybe 63 BUT you still can tell who he was. He has that same face, even though he has grown up
Holy crap. I’m 63 too. I’d never recognize this guy.?i look 20 years younger!
This turned into a positive glad to hear this I remember him from my own childhood.

There’s no way he could be 63 years old. If I had a guess his age it would be in his middle 70s alcohol and drugs really miss him up especially his face.
Why do we need to be told twice that the show lasted 5 years? Especially considering everyone knows that.
Damn grew up watching this show

Uncle Bill was the best !!!
Family Affair was such an odd show to me. Its pretty mellow for a sitcom and Brian Keith always looked so...meloncholy throughout it.
Family Affair was a wonderful show, my favorite actor was Mr French in that show & of course Judy and Buffy 2 of the cutest child stars in that show.loved it.
Thanks for another great video from the good old days & shows Mr Blane that will never returns agian, ever.
Wow, almost 64 but looks 74...being unkind to oneself will ravage your body 😱
It's too bad about Buffy lost her life to drugs she was a cute girl I liked family affair it's on catchy comedy glad johnny.whitaker is doing good vickie napa.california
One mistake…he wasn’t the youngest. Buffy was the youngest.
Drugs ...? What would Sigmund say about that ?
Hey does anyone notice that Whitaker has curly hair in some of the footages and photos in this video? What’s the deal with the curly hair? I thought that was a sin in Hollywood!
I met Johnny Witaker in person once, he was not nice at all to me, he was nasty, rude to me.
Sigman in the sea. Monster was about a big bail of marijuana. Washed up on a beach
Enjoy the show
Did not reflect their real life
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Johnny was married and his wife divorced him and took all his money
Buffy died from jumping out of a skyscraper window! High on drugs and older than 16.
No, that’s not right. She was found dead in a friend’s house. She had overdosed on several drugs.
Why do these narrators constantly use the word "iconic" when they mean " famous," and "challenging" when they mean "Difficult?"
Lol, I hate that too. "... experimenting with drugs and alcohol" Indulging more like it. And poor Buffy took drugs because of "early fame" ?? And the rest of the druggies have no excuse and get locked away with real criminals. Yeah, something wrong with the system, but how else would they get their money?
