- www.judynorton.com Instagram - officialjudynorton On The Waltons, Kami Cotler played youngest daughter Elizabeth. In this behind the scenes with Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton) I share fond memories of working with Kami in The Homecoming through 9 seasons of Walton episodes. From the innocent 5 year old scene stealer to the grown woman who works in education today.
Always generous with our fans, Kami often shares her own recollections on her Facebook page. In fact you can find most of The Walton cast on social media. Thanks for watching - I have many more behind the scenes videos on my CZcams channel, so check them out. I'm also taking many of your questions and answering them directly on videos titled "Ask Judy" - so if you have questions see if I've already answered them in segments, or put them in the comments. I'll get to as many as I can.

• The Waltons - Kami Cot...
Kami was everyone's favorite little sister and she had some of the best lines on the show! What's your favorite Elizabeth line?
You were such a wonderful big sister on The Waltons ! Strong and determined and full of love ! I just saw an episode where you wouldn't take no on being accepted into med school ! What a go getter !
Not so much a line as a scene. From the Burnout. Elizabeth and John-Boy in the tree house dealing with Elizabeth's fear that whenever she cared about someone they would die. Powerful scene
In the Homecoming when she said she wasn't going to have babies. One of the kids asked her what are you going to have Elizabeth? She said puppies.
@@juliebelnap1332 Yeah that scene always stood out for me. Elizabeth was running away so nobody she loved would die.
Judy a question? You said hit the notification bell? Well I'm is Saskatchewan Canada and it is locked due to content? Please check it, and is available in Canada,& or other countries ? We appreciate all Ty⚘🙂✌
My favorite scene with Elizabeth is when she asks "Daddy where did you find me " And Ralph tells her hiding behind your Mama's smile she starts to run off but stops and turns around the camera gets a great shot of that beautiful little face.
Cami really was adorable as Elizabeth and watching her grow up into the lovely young woman she became was like watching a family member.
Yes - she had some of the best moments.
I've always loved that scene, too. :)
I saw that scene an hour ago on Insp channel!
One of favorite Walton’s moments. I think about that often .
“I don’t feel like a pissant.”
That line was delivered with absolutely perfect facial expression and voice inflection.
She was perfect in The Homecoming.
Yes, she was.
Thank you Judy for all these beautiful moments from the waltons. My favorite line is also I don’t feel like a pissant. I hope you keep bringing us these videos. Just one question if you don’t mind do you think there will be another waltons reunion movie or show ? Thanks.
Kami was also cute
Kami was so cute along with her brother, Jeffrey. They do seem to look alike
@@judynorton2598If I had been director I would have asked Kami to try accentuating the word "feel", as if she were gently protesting, while leaving room for the possibility that her sister was correct, if only in lieu of Erin's seniority: "I don't FEEL like a pissant."
I think the line would have rung even funnier,..even at the risk of rendering Elizabeth still cuter in the moment -- as if that were possible.
Judy you're killing it with these thoughtful reflections on the many moving parts of the Waltons! I'm enjoying all of them! Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much.
@@judynorton2598 And I want to Thank You to My Lady, for responding to all the fans of this show so respectfully. The show has a lot of former actors and actresses as well as former writers and directors that also were on, and involved with the Original Star Trek series, to in which I am a big fan as well to. Alexander Courage, music director, Ralph Salinsky, director, DC Fontana writer, John Crawford who was in the the Galileo Seven first season episode, is now Sheriff Eb Bridges, Cecilia Lovasky who was T'Pow in Amok Time, potrayed a gypsy, and also a gypsy in The Big Valley with Actress Louise Sorell and a very young Eve Plumb in the episode, Hide The Children, and I can go on with many other actors and actresses from other tv shows that made an appearance in The Walton's tv show. Thanks Judy, your super terrific!
Agreed.
Hi Judy! New subscriber here, also long time fan of The Waltons. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your memories with us. I’m enjoying these fun tidbits :)
Kami was cute along with her brother who sort of looks like her. He's cute, too
It's great the cast remained such good friends all these years !!
I agree.
Holy crap. I knew there was something familiar about that "English" boy. Now that you mention it. he bear's a striking resemblance to Kami. Wow!
I think Kami's best line EVER was wanting to have puppies instead of babies! I'm her age and I laughed when she said that!! 😂
So sweet.
That WAS so cute because I remember thinking the same when I was little! I wanted to have puppies and kittens! oh my!
Judy, once again, you hit it out of the park! excellent job!
Wow, thank you!
As an only child I dreamt of being a Walton, Elizabeth was the Walton I wanted to be most. I’m still in awe of her beautiful hair.
Amazing hair, right?!
I wanted to live next door, so i could court Erin. : ) I always thought Erin needed a guy to take her to the beach on an Indian Motorcycle.
All My Love to Long Ago - I love your "name". I can relate in some major ways. Why did you call yourself that?
@@tanickasinclair7035 I’m a historian, and I would like to make videos about history, haven’t made any yet, but maybe some day. It’s also a a quote from Dr. Who, and I’m a big Dr. Who fan, so I liked using it.
I loved the Waltons. Still do watch everyday here in Alaska.
I hope it is not to cold in Alaska. Loved
the Waltons also. Greetings from Germany.
@@heinrichgerken4469Hello.. Not cold yet but definitely cooling off.
I think it's impressive that the younger cast members were fortunate to avoid the dark side of Hollywood. All of you must had wonderful and caring parents.
And we had each other! That really helped.
I did notice Elizabeth often sounded like she was all stuffed up.
Yes, l noticed that too.
I just watch in awe that such a young child could handle not only lines but inflection, timing and emotion. She was very impressive for such a youngster.
Totally agree! She was an excellent little actress. They say Melissa Gilbert and Shannen Doherty were excellent child actresses to work with as well. At least Michael Landon said so.
Yes - she was remarkable.
" I don't feel like a piss ant" that has to be my favorite Elizabeth line ever!
How could you not love it she looks at everyone and says it with such innocence... that must have been quite a scene to film!
Yes. Such fun to film.
I just want to Thank you, Judy. I still enjoy the show's and your Behind The Scenes. Don't stop. 💖💖💖
I wrote to kami some year back & had such a wonderful letter back saying she was a teacher at the time in vaginia which was fantastic to know.i still have her letter today we were stationed in Germany at the time 2000/2002
Me thinks you might want to check your spelling of Virginia...lol.
@@floydiandreamscapes5145 🤣♀️
To me, her line that I remember most was when she said in The Homecoming, "It's dead! Somebody killed it!" Being her same age at the time, I kind of felt the same horror of that broken doll.
Wow... that's interesting.
I felt bad for her she wanted doll and that one was broken John Boy calm her down great since
What brought it into sharper contrast was the lady missionary's being so taken with Elizabeth and so much wanting to give her the present (which she, the lady, seemed to know was a doll).
The broken doll scared Elizabeth
Two very touching moments with Cami was when John Boy comforts her and undos her braids while quoting a poem.
The other one was when her cat died giving birth. She played that part BEAUTIFULLY!
Yes, such beautiful - real life moments.
SHE WAS A LITTLE CUTIE. ALSO A GREAT CHILD ACTRESS.
Yes... she was.
Believe it or not im 53 and just now getting into the Waltons. I love the show its almost like Little house on the prairie 50 years later. But LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOW. I did watch in the 70S, But I am more into it now. Thank you
That's awesome!
Talk about Cora Beth. She was such a hoot.
Please! I love Cora Beth
I love her. She was quite a character.
Jennifer R
Cora was always trying to speak French. 😝
Cora Beth - There were a few episodes (can't remember which, although l do remember the one where she adopts her daughter and lets her guard down and tell her daughter she loves her, it was so moving), where she was pure in her acting, such true emotion shown through it made me cry. I also thought she was very beautiful. Other times she was just so funny with her pretentious attitude. Loved her.
Just loved you all on the Walton's
I still watch you all daily .
Your still lovely Judy , just like Mary Ellen ,has never changed.
Thank you so much.
I'm a Sound Guy myself, Judy and though I have yet to work a TV series I have worked movies and the nature of our jobs require us to work very closely with the actors, the directors, the techs and everybody else.. But especially the actors and directors so I myself hold a great trust in personal moments and anything that may even be overheard for me goes right out the window.. I believe it's about keeping things honorable.. Thanks for sharing these insights on such an iconic piece of TV History!!
Wow Judy you sounded just like a proud big sister talking about your little sister. Great to hear that the actors really cared for each other. It sure came across like that on screen.
Yes! So proud of her and all my sisters and brothers. :)
It sure did.
I didn't know the child actor who played one of the English orphan children was Kami's brother! That's a lovely insight about your time working with Kami and her subsequent career in education. She was so cute in the early episodes...adorable! ❤️💚💛
Absolutely!
@@judynorton2598They do look a lot alike !! He’s like the boy version of Kami 😊😊
Kami til this day is gifted with her personality..I loved when she had carried her ragged doll.
I love watching The Waltons. I feel like I, personally, know all of the characters. I know it probably isn’t possible, but I wish you all could do one final movie. Maybe bring back John Curtis this time. And maybe even have Aimee Godsey running the store.
That would be nice.
HOW WONDERFUL THAT EVEN NOW YOU THINK OF KAMI AS YOUR YOUNGEST SISTER FYI LOVE ALL VIDEOS KEEP IT GOING STRONG JUDY!🤗💗💗💗💗🤗
Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Judy. I look forward to a behind the scenes episode .with the Baldwin sisters ... and maybe a zoom session with John boy & the others?
I'm a 61 years young guy and though I would never admit it to my friends in school back in the early 70's.. I was a "closet" Walton's watcher!lol.. and now still enjoy all the episodes on DVD :) Thanks for the insights and if you could go back in the "way back machine" would you do it all over again?
Absolutely! Do it over again in a heartbeat.
@@judynorton2598 wasn’t the show on Thursday nights at 8 pm EST? We watched each week.
@@MrsinTN I live in Sydney Australia, the Waltons was a favourite down Under, it was shown on a Sunday night, at 6.30pm, for it's entire run.
I'm 62 and i watched it with my Mom, who had been one of 5 farmer's daughters in Michigan, and before that, was raised on the prairie of Wyoming, homesteading just like Little Houise on the Prairie. My Mom was quick to point out that the Walton's were very well off for a depression family, and she said they might have stayed in Wyoming, if there was a community there like was in the Little House series, however it was actually more like the only house on the prairie, with a post office/community hall/court house all in one cob building over two miles away, and a water table that was non-existant in summer months.
It's a pile of rotting logs near Rochelle now.. I've never seen it except through my Mom's eyes, and her memories.
Thanks for the memories!
I am a native Virginian and have been a Walton's fan since day one. I have made the trip to Schyler many times with my kids, family and friends. I am so glad to see the interest and allure of the Walton's has not faded. The new Bed and Breakfast is my next goal to visit. Thanks for keeping this special part of my childhood alive for me. You look Fabulous by the way.
Thank you so much. Enjoy the B&B - it's quite wonderful.
Scene stealer is an understatement. So adorable that little girl was. ❤💕❤
Yes, she was.
I follow Kami on FB. She often shares great photos and memories of the show and as fan's we appreciate all of you and thank you for sharing these tidbits of your lives.
Our pleasure!
I liked Cindy, Ben's wife, actress Leslie Winston. She was so pretty, so beautiful.
Yes, she is! Will talk about her too :)
Yes, she was by far my favorite Walton in-law. Loved her!
@@judynorton2598 She was almost as pretty as her red car!
Actress Lislie Winston was born, from my reading of her May 13, 1956. I was born April 26, 1956. I loved and appreciated the very deep love and devotion she had for Ben Walton in the series, The Walton's tv show. I especally loved and laughed my head off at ole grandmaw Walton there hit Ben and pointed to the picture of Zebulian Walton saying, Old Fool, Young Fool! Taught ole Ben there to just let Cindy there be, Cindy, and not to be so rough on her, just let her do her thing. Loved it!
@@dementedweasel1 Do you remember when Olivia was suspicious of Cindy for having a red car, with the implication that Cindy thereby wasn't as prim and proper as she should have been?
Red cars were rare in the early 40s.
My wife & I watch The Waltons nightly, falling asleep to to the program. Terrific cast and story lines that were historically accurate & reflective of the times then. My personal favorite is when the dad took an office job in the city. We’ve all had a boss like that guy.
So glad you still enjoy the show.
I love the episode where she turns 13 and the poltergeist is affecting Elizabeth
Frankly.,I did not like that episode.😖😖😖
I always wondered about the basis of that episode. Did something like that ever actually happen within the Hamner family or perhaps some family in the area? Or is it completely fiction?
I think the very best I have seen Kami (she was wonderful in every episode), was The Burnout. She had to close down her emotions like she didn’t care, which was completely against Elizabeth’s nature. The scene with her and John-boy in the treehouse near the end was so touching. I think only John-boy COULD get through that hard shell. Kami was an extraordinary cast member. Loved her to pieces! Thank you once again Judy, for taking us on a journey of remembrance with your videos❤️
My pleasure. I agree - she was quite something - still is!!
Never watched when younger going on 60 now i watch it great stories Judy ❤
Yay!!
Kami was a joy to watch as she grew up over the years she was on "The Waltons", she will always be America's favourite little sister. Enjoyed her brother, Jeff, also I remember being in 3 episodes. Look forward to hearing more from you. As always take care, stay safe and GOD bless.
Thank you so much.
I’ve just recently found these videos , so glad….❣️I loved the Waltons and watched it regularly through the years .Thank you for sharing all you do here it’s so fun and interesting . It’s neat to get a glimpse into what it was like being a young actor in a series like that ..so glad to hear of all your continued successes and lovely friendships … you all provided us with something delightful to watch all through the years every week and I am grateful for that ☺️☕️❣️
Little Kami just got cuter & cuter each season - great memories Judy!
Totally agree!!
The intro where the Dad comes home with a new item for family, and everyone joins them on the porch, little Kami running to join everybody. Richard picking her up and smiling at her and then she turns on the item that Ralph’s holding and then Eric touching her head !! ♥️♥️🥺🥺
It was a great intro. Not sure why they changed it after Season 1.
I loved Kami as a teen on the show...she really blossomed into a beauty. I had to laugh this past week locally they're started the series from the beginning again. Olivia and John were rough around the edges in the beginning and then they turned into such loving people. And I honestly had to crack up at all the fake sourthern accents in the first part of the series...much better when that was dropped. But love watching it till this day...its on while I'm working and I still record daily to watch after work.
Thank you for continuing to watch.
I was working as TD for an education tour production sponsored by Virginia Opera in the late 90s. One leg of the tour took us to the western part of the state near Waynesboro. One day we had a show scheduled at a middle school in Lovingston, VA. As I was heading out, I was noticing how beautiful the area was and began seeing the signs for Schuyler, which led to thinking of The Waltons. As I pulled up to the school and began unloading onto the stage, the door at the back of the auditorium opens and who walks in but Kami Cotler. I recognized her immediately and was completely stunned that she was a now a teacher and living in Waynesboro; it was surreal that the actress that played Elizabeth had moved back to the area that inspired the creation of the show in we watched her grow up. We were having a great conversation when we were both pulled away; unfortunately we never got to finish it. Running into Kami was definitely one of the highlights of that tour and something that remains quite special to me. Kami Cotler is one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Just wanted to share.
So happy to hear you got to meet her. Yes, Kami is so real and down to earth.
I loved Elizabeth!! “I’m not a piss ant” is the most iconic phrase of all time!!
A classic part of pop culture now.
kami would have to be my favorite actress she played the part very well
Totally!! I'm with you.
Ellen Colby kept an eye on Kami when she started the show
when she ask Ralph John sr where did I come from dad said behind one your moms beautiful smiles 👍classic 🤗
So sweet.
Kami was my favorite Walton. I wrote to her as a child and she wrote back on the back of a script page. It made my year
So glad.
What an engaging little beauty!!! I can see where Kami can easily steal a scene!
Absolutely!
I was (and still am) jealous of Cami’s hair. It’s just amazing! And just as you said , Elizabth was just adorable!!
Right?! Adorable and amazing hair!!
Kami’s little brother was so cute. When he said proper scared to Olivia! He was adorable.❣️Kami was such a cut kid and wonderful actress! Amazing what little kids can do!!
So true.
I met Kami once she and her family stayed at The Inn At Sawmill Farm in Dover vermont ....i served her and her family ...i believe it was the holidays !! So honored ! 💜💜💜
I’m betting she was a lovely guest.
💜
Judy, a few years ago I picked up a second hand DVD and had the pleasure of watching an episode featuring yourself as a young teen who wanted to get away see the world, and ran away with a travelling musician who cruelly rejected you. The way in which Mary Ellen was understood and welcomed back with love was a lesson I hope many over protective parents took to heart.
I wish that there will come a day when I can watch every episode.
I hope so too. It is on several channels in the USA every day and in Canada... not sure where else it is available . Besides DVDs
I loved the time she was on the 🚽 & said that they was going to be missing the bearded lady & the dancing bear! She said it so cute!(The circus episode)
So interesting! What a special young lady! Spunky beautiful kid and all you Walton girls were so beautiful and are still! Loved to hear about the behind the scenes!
Thank you so much!
So sweet!!! She was and still Precious!!!!
Yes!!
I’m so glad you spoke about Kami’s allergies. I thought she had a nasal type voice. I never knew about her allergies. You mentioned her taking a breath in between lines too, I remember that now and actually it went with her age and trying to say the lines like you stated. It just blended in and was natural, I never thought of it. Thank you for sharing things we wouldn’t know or even think about! Nothing like The Waltons and bond you all have shared with one another and with all of us as well 😊
Glad you enjoyed and that it was helpful.
Without you sharing all these wonderful behind the scenes information we wouldn't have 1st hand details of the Walton's! I just saw an episode where Elizabeth broke her legs they thought she wouldn't walk again but Jim bob ended up encouraging her and giving her that will to walk again! Can't thank you enough Judy. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much.
Kami Colter is a amazing actor and she is beautiful, smart and educated. Thank you Judy for sharing this story and I really like it!
Absolutely! She's amazing.
"Mary had a little lamb.......
It's feet were black as soot....
And everywhere that Mary went.....
His sootie foot he put"!!!!!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 LOVED THAT SCENE!!!!!!
Cool!
I remember that line from the homecoming, piss Ant ,I remember my older brother asking my dad what's a piss ant ,we were too young for him to give us a definition, we still laugh about it ,especially when were fishing on our boat, thanks for sharing more great stories 👍
Thanks. It wasn't a word I had ever heard before The Homecoming.
It's always a treat to hear about her since she was the youngest and always bouncing around.
The Walton series has been a joy and therapy in our elder years. Thank you so much for sharing behind the scenes.
Thanks for watching.
Elizabeth was my favorite Walton.
Great choice!
Just finished all nine seasons yesterday. Great memories of my mom and (esp) dad telling me, as we watched The Waltons back when it was new, that was how it was or how it was sort of like when he was a kid in early '30s - into early war years.
Teller12, then your folks had it a lot better than mine did. My father, in particular, had lived on a Canadian prairie farm which they lost to “the bank”. His family was taken in by another family and they all lived in a two room farm house that winter and had nothing to eat but cornbread and honey. I know that sounds like “we had to walk five miles to school up hill both ways”, but I’m sure it felt like it on empty stomachs. My Dad remained a penny pincher his whole 94 years as he was always afraid there’d be another depression.
Thanks judy
Kami looks almost exactly now, as she did while playing Elizabeth.
As her "look alike", I just adored her and LOVED when people would tell me that I looked like her💕
Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦... Keli 💖
She never ages!
@@judynorton2598 she truly never does!🥰
Thanks, Judy. She was a very smart five year old. I loved the whole cast as I watched the show; however, I loved Kami due to her hair color which was the same as mine was when I was an infant. I guess hers stayed naturally red whereas mine slowly faded to what passed for brown. It was a nice mix of children which helped make the show.
She was always wise beyond her years. Her hair is amazing.
You're crushing these videos Judy Kami was a cutie and such a good little actress
Thanks. Yes she was.
Probably the hardest thing about watching the show was watching Kami/Elizabeth growing up. I agree she was as cute as a button, and that wide-eyed innocence made her such a wonderful presence. Same with David/Jim-Bob. Loved his precocious little boy moments.
Yep... too bad we all had to grow up, and grow older...
@@judynorton2598 LOL! I'm doing my damn best not to grow up! (as my YT and FB sites will attest). But, we are lucky to have captured Kami and David's youth through the magic of television. I'm enjoying every moment of these Walton flashbacks. Thanks again for putting these together.
Thank you 💕😊
Loved KAmi as she grew older with Drew. They were a nice couple!. Kami was always very likable in the role of Elizabeth. Love how she always sat near Grandma at the table at meals. At least that is my memory! Can still remember grandma cutting her food when she was younger.
Totally!
I'm glad you mentioned the allergies, as I noticed some of her challenges when speaking, sometimes.
It was very endearing when she was little :)
Yes I agree Kami is still a special person.
I’ve always felt such a connection to Kami. I’m the youngest of 6 children, and when I was experiencing so many things I’d watched my brothers go through, they were all gone or grown and busy when it was my turn. But the best thing is Kami is MY name too! Spelled the EXACT SAME WAY. I can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve seen that. So she was special!
That is so cool.
Peace wow
Love
Walton
Family and friends
Just got to the Walton’s Mountain Museum this past weekend. I really enjoyed seeing all of the memorabilia there. Sorry they had to cancel the festivities this year. I am a lifelong resident from Va Beach and it was always exciting as a little girl to hear the Waltons talk about coming to Va Beach
So glad you got to the museum. Such a lovely tribute.
I bet the kids love Kami Cotler as a teacher. I enjoyed her video on her youtube channel and also found James Walmsleys channel while back. Awesome musician. such a tallented bunch of people. every cast member.
That's great. Yes - both so talented.
Loved the scene, where Elizabeth asks her dad where he found her and he replies " behind one of your mothers smiles"
With her hair color, and the shape of her face when she was young, Kami reminds me a bit of my sister's Crissy doll that was so popular in the 70's!
Oh yes, my little sister had one of those dolls too! I’d forgotten all about that. 😂♥️
Lol. That is so sweet! I just wanted to adopt the whole family. I wanna be a Walton too.
You are so kind
Thank You Judy. 💙
This is Jennifer Sinclair. These "discussions" with us is something I really look forward to - it makes me feel like the Waltons wasn't too long ago! I like that!
That's wonderful.
It's so great to see how you all have grown into caring adults. Kami is still so cute and beautiful today
It's so great that you share these fond memories and you can tell how blessed you were to be with such a great cast
Yes - we really do love each other.
The Waltons reruns were shown at Midnight about a year after it was canceled. It would take a year to go through all 9 seasons. & My Mom worked graveyard shift & so I'd stay up & watched the shows. Watching The Changeling, & how well Kami stood out in that performance, & all the Poltergeist scenes!? I know it is ridiculous to say it, but I didn't go to sleep that night, cuz I was too shook up about that episode. I still went to school in the morning. But it was difficult to sleep after that for the next couple of nights. LOL! Plus it was amazing to find out that it was done 4 years before Poltergeist became a movie.
Oh no! That must have been tough for you at the time. Glad you got past it :)
Thankyou Judy love hearing about the waltons❤😊👍🏻
So glad!
Thats it...."I don't feel like a piss ant!! Loved her .... you speak so fondly of her cute personality ....and being a viewer to me ....she was adorable to watch as well. Thanks Judy
My pleasure.
I still watch reruns everyday, we need more shows like the Waltons. Enjoy your videos.
Yes we do
Thank You Judy For Sharing All These Stories With Us.. I Really Enjoy Hearing Them. I Love The Show.
My pleasure.
I 💘 Kamis brades and her personality
I totally agree!
Thank you for sharing I watch the Waltons every single day at 5 o’clock I rush home from work to make sure I don’t miss an episode once again thank you so much for sharing with the world.
Love that!
i loved the episode where Elizabeth had a birthday that was a fun one to watch
Thank you so much Judy For Shareing all these Precious Episodes of That *Iconic*Priceless*Episodes of The Most Rememoriable*Show Of All Time*We All Grew Up with in Simplier Times n Made us feel we were Part of You're TV Family**Judy Strong💪🌟❤🥇💐
My pleasure.
Thank you for the "behind the scenes" -- I often watch on devices where I can't comment or like. It's funny you mentioned her allergies -- she was so so sweet, but you can hear her -- I don't know who originally put together the cast, but it could not be more perfectly cast -- I think we all wished we had a grandfather like "you old fool." -- I wish they made tv like this again -- I can't tell you what episode, but "John" says "damn," and Olivia about had a heart attack -- ha. I have a friend who is head of HR for a huge huge enterprise. Her job was always stressful, but now with Covid, it's 10 times worse. She literally has the Waltons and Little House on DVD and she switches out and when she comes home from work, she and her little doggie sit on the sofa and eat dinner with either the Waltons or the Ingalls -- be well -- Patrica
I’m in the U.K. and watching my Walton’s dvds for exactly the same reason-to take my mind off Covid media overload . It’s so lovely to lose myself in a more peaceful existence which we’ve now lost.
I was in high school when The Waltons aired. Our family enjoyed them...now in my 60's my husband and I own the DVD set. Not long ago, we re-watched the whole series. We never get tired of them.
Cool. Thanks for being such loyal fans.
I loved the line, Daddy where did you find me ? John answers, Hiding behind one of your Mama's smiles.
So precious.
It's funny that you show Elizabeth running w/ that doll, since I am making a comment on that same episode of the deaf girl. I just watched that episode the other day and I noticed the expressions Kami had in that, not saying a word. I found it amazing of a child so young to be able to do that.
Yep - she was remarkable. Still is :)
I love that y'all weren't just a family on TV but like one in real life.
So true.
Great update Judy! Always noticed Elizabeth had a special connection with many of the family - The Grandfather, Johnboy and James Robert in particular, and of course you girls. I liked how she never took any of the boys' crap! I feel like I grew up with Kami - great actor.
So true!
Dear Judy, I just love these! Thank you! So fun to hear “behind the scenes…”! Thank you also for responding to an earlier comment that I made about watching The Waltons when I was a little girl with my mother and - now watching, four decades later, with my father.
Tonight we watched the episode, “Thoroughbred” when John Boy raced Blue in the hills…Against a thoroughbred, of course.
What can you tell us about that sweet old mule… and Myrtle the goat, Chance the cow, the chickens, and Reckless the dog? Love(d) those animals!
Thank you again! Please keep Shining on!! :)
So glad you are enjoying these. I spoke a bit about some of the animals in a segment: czcams.com/video/cjcAVxgXNXw/video.html
Will try to add more soon.
Such a terrific video! I was just a little older than Kami, so she was a favorite character when I was young, seeing these shows for the first time. (And I've got to admit I just clicked out of curiosity, thinking I'd only watch a few seconds-I stuck around for every minute!) Your warmth and humor come really come through, and you're a natural storyteller who clearly enjoys sharing these great memories. Thank you, very much!
Oh wow. Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
