This hardly seems to be "The Sad Strange Story." She had success as both an actor and singer, made $5 million, and now lives a private life. I'd bet she's pretty happy.
I love that Crystal lives a private life, which probably keeps her so grounded. She is talented and skilled enough to be intimidating, and nice enough to be the perfect best friend! I have always enjoyed her contributions to entertainment. Wherever she is, and whatever she is doing these days, I hope she is living her best life and really enjoying herself. Crystal is a creative force and we are blessed she shared this with the world.
She always seemed like the girl next door. Lowell was my favorite character. I used to fly a lot to Nantucket Island when I flew for Business Express Airlines. Some of the long shots of passengers getting on and off some of the airplanes were of me when I flew the Shorts 360 and Saab 340 there.
I watched Crystal on TV every time I possibly could ... I fell in love with her at first sight, not to mention heard her sing on TV as well and appreciated her voice and ability to express feelings thru music. But when she REALLY won my heart completely was when I heard her little 'chipmunk' laughter on Wings one episode ... every time I heard her laugh, I swear my heart about flew out of my chest and I smiled bigger than I've ever smiled before. Her laughter is the most infectious sound to me and I truly thank the Lord above for giving her that gift and blessing that angel with her sharing it with us here on earth. I LOVE hearing her laugh and it's one sound that truly fills 'my' heart with happiness and sunshine. 💜💗💜 Thank you Crystal from my heart to yours!!
She is one of the very few Singers that I ever heard cover a Song by Hank Williams, Junior. Bocephus's 1972 Classic "Eleven Roses" and Miss Crystal absolutely crushed it!🤔😉🎤🌹🎼🎸🎻💃📺B.W.
I've always enjoyed listening to Crystal and Peter sing their hit duet song. Gonna take forever tonight. She looks very stunning wearing that long white evening gown. Hoping she'll have a great Christmas.
She certainly is a cutie pie. And I love the fact that she was raised as a Christian. She's had a great career that's far, I pray the Lord continues to bless her. And she remembers to discernment of the Holy Spirit
In the 70s I was playing bass with Bobbie Gentry in Las Vegas. Crystal and her sister Robyn were dancers in the show. I recall that she was a very kind young lady, and very professional at a young age.
Thank you for doing this. I admire her a lot & loved her on It's a Living. I also enjoyed her on Happy Days & Wings as well. I am glad she is at peace in her life because she seems like a nice person.
She brought pure unadulterated joy to me every time I watched Wings. I loved her persona which was so natural in the series. I wish I caught all the other shows she was in, in which I never knew about. Miss her big time!
I live in Texas, and Crystal’s daddy did a revival at our Church when I was a kid. I don’t remember if the family was with him, though. He was very entertaining, but he was a very, very good preacher. ♥️🙏🏻
My favorite characters on the show were the dimwitted airplane mechanic Lowell the sometimes sleaze ball but likable character Roy Biggins and Antonio the cab driver
My favorite show w/her was Wings. Helen Chappel. She took crap off of nobody. Mom & I watched it quite often. I also saw "Welcome to Paradise", where she played a preacher who was forced out of her job at a large church & moved w/her son to a small town. Very uplifting story. It's been quite some time since I've seen it. It also has Brian Dennehy, who is no longer w/us. Connie Ray, who was in "My Fellow Americans" w/Jack Lemmon & James Garner. She was the one who kicked them out of their car. Very talented actress. It sounds like she's doing quite well.
Joe's girlfriend says something offensive. Helen: "You pig!" Joe's girlfriend: How DARE you! " Helen: "Like that's the first time you heard that today!" Dunno why that scene is always popping up in my head lol
Crystal Bernard was also in the sequel to Slumber Party Massacre II. that came out in 1987. This must have been during the syndication run of It's A Living. Right before Wings started. Slumber Party Massacre II. was not the best. I felt that it was watered down compared to the original film. Crystal played the younger sister in the sequel where the killer returns to kill off everyone.
Crystal has that something special about her that very very few have.only a handful at any given time.i always wondered what happened to her.im glad to here it was mostly her own doing to slow down and not someone else's.i think wings had a great cast,I loved that show and it surely wasn't from the script or back drop.
Wings was an excellent little show, that was overshadowed in the NBC Must-See TV lineup by Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier. And Ms Bernard, herself, played second-fiddle (2nd-cello?) to tha actors (Daly/Webber) who played the brothers as well as playing straight woman to the outrageous supporting characters of Roy/Faith/Lowell. YET, she was the glue that held the show together, and, besides being a cutie, Crystal displayed a wonderful sense of comic timing. I was surprsied that after Wings ended, she was not given a show of her own, but I suspect it had a lot to do her own life choices. Thanks for the update, though. It's nice to remember her.
@@jamieoiler5690 Saying Wings was "awful" is a non-starter. It's perfectly fine with me if you didn't like it, but I did. I thought Friends was unwatchable, but it obviously appealed to a lot of viewers and I would never tell them that that show as "awful" or that their taste was poor. Different people come to shows with different tastes and life experiences.
@@jamieoiler5690 I'm glad you enjoyed Friends. But just because a show is popular is not a reason a person should like it. Justin Bieber was very popular, but that doesn't mean I was supposed to enjoy "Baby Baby." But if you enjoyed it, good for you.
Yes I love her! It seemed like she was on everything for a while. She's so fun! Wings and Happy Days were rad - great nostalgia. I loved her on It's a Living
I remember when the Slumber Party Massacre 2 and 3 combo DVD came out, the person who wrote the booklet inside the box said that Crystal Bernard was not happy about being contacted to talk about the movie lol
I LOVED that show Wings. Such a great cast, excellent writing and just fun to watch. My favorite episodes are the two-part episode where the ex wife comes back. Crystal stole the show on those episodes. I miss that show and I’m glad I can watch reruns.
I remember speculating on comic-book movies back in the 80s, and thinking Crystal Bernard would've been great as Rogue in an X-Men movie. I also said Patrick Stewart would make a great Professor X, and that, at least, did end up happening. My ultimate comic-book movie casting dream, though... Seann William Scott as Guy Gardner in a Green Lantern movie. Just try to tell me that wouldn't be straight-up awesome!
Yes! I have both her albums on CD. I also have the CD w/"I Wanna Take Forever Tonight" duet w/ Peter Cetera. You know what Peter Cetera's claim to fame is? He's the lead singer of Chicago. Great band
@@lanceware2417 I hate that and they do that all the time on this channel. I really don't know why I still subscribe to lies. The thing is its unneeded, the content is good.
1:18 Happy Days was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, not Chicago. While they may be close (Only a 90 minute drive down the lakeshore), they have and had VERY different vibes.
I had such a crush on her in my youth. I remember seeing her on Happy Days and thought she was so pretty. I was only 6 years old at the time. And she was so funny on Wings. Glad she is doing well.
Saw her with Ric Flair in a Baltimore bar in 1988. I have no idea why they were there. I was working for a local band back then and they had a gig at a place called Max's on Broadway in the Fells Point section of the city. The band played their first set and just about the time they were getting ready for the second set, maybe 11:30ish, in walked the NWA's Four Horseman; Ric Flair Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson and I don't remember the fourth, maybe they weren't there. Anyway, accompanying them were a group of females including Crystal Bernard. She seemed to be with Ric and they went to a back corner away from the crowd. Stayed about an hour then got up and left as the band was finishing up the second set.
I believe Crystal is friends with the Howard brothers, Ron and Clint- speaking of Ron Howard, I would hedge a guess if there's ever a photo for Happy Days' 50th anniversary, Crystal would pose for a photograph in front of the original Cunningham house with Ron, Henry Winkler, Randy Roberts(Chuck Cunningham) and John Moran, standing in for his late sister, Erin!!!
I don't think her life ended up sad and strange. I did think her net worth would be worth more tho. My fav character of Crystal's was in Wings. Loved that show! I also enjoyed her tv movies like Grave Misconduct, As Good As Dead and A Face To Kill For. I plan on watching To Love Honor and Betray next.
This hardly seems to be "The Sad Strange Story." She had success as both an actor and singer, made $5 million, and now lives a private life. I'd bet she's pretty happy.

Really 🤙🏼
ye wtf I thought something terrible had happened to her when I saw the title
This channel always says crop like this, it’s usually the “tragic story”
I know you are right

I have always enjoyed her contributions to entertainment. Wherever she is, and whatever she is doing these days, I hope she is living her best life and really enjoying herself.

😮😢
Happy Days was set in Milwaukee, not Chicago
Just goes to show this guy doesnt know what he is always talking about. Make it up if you find the truth!
So was Laverne and Shirley. It was a spin off from Happy Days. It does make sense, as they worked at a brewery.
@@diane1390 I dont remember ANY mention of Laverne and Shirley. What are you talking about???
@@thomasofone than you didn't fully read Diane's previous post
Luverne & Shirley was a spinoff from Happy Days
@@karlsmith2570 no shit. I read it. Just wondering why she brought it up. Noone mentioned them. Crystal Benard had nothing to do with them.
Wings is in my top three sitcoms of all time I love that show
Seinfeld, Wings and My Name is Earl. My faves. For Brits, Red Dwarf and Father Ted.
Same! It's so underappreciated
She always seemed like the girl next door. Lowell was my favorite character. I used to fly a lot to Nantucket Island when I flew for Business Express Airlines. Some of the long shots of passengers getting on and off some of the airplanes were of me when I flew the Shorts 360 and Saab 340 there.
Wings is one of my favorite shows! I loved Helen and Joe. I was happy to hear more about Crystal.
Love Crystal Bernard, had a crush on her back in the day.
So great to hear she's doing well and is happy. I loved her in Wings. It was such a great and funny show. Thanks for doing this update!
One of my all time favorite shows. God, I wish it went on a lot longer. Never would have been enough, though. Lol.
Love that show. Watched it every day for years until Hulu removed it. Then bought the series on DVD to keep my Wings fix going.
I sincerely hope she is doing well and is happy - but we didn't learn anything from here!!
When Crystal was on the screen EVERYTHING came to a screeching halt. What an absolute sweetheart. Absolutely love her. :)
I watched Crystal on TV every time I possibly could ...

She's a little hottie that never caused waves in Hollywood like the other ones who fizzled out rather than walking away on her terms.
She is one of the very few Singers that I ever heard cover a Song by Hank Williams, Junior. Bocephus's 1972 Classic "Eleven Roses" and Miss Crystal absolutely crushed it!🤔😉🎤🌹🎼🎸🎻💃📺B.W.
I want to hear that she's doing well. I'm sure that she gets recognized from time to time.
I've always enjoyed listening to Crystal and Peter sing their hit duet song. Gonna take forever tonight. She looks very stunning wearing that long white evening gown. Hoping she'll have a great Christmas.
I first knew her from two Hallmark Christmas movies with Steve Guttenberg. Hoping that she's doing well!
The song "I Wanna Take Forever Tonight"" with Peter Cetera was one of my favorite songs as a kid.
Loved Wings, hope she's doing great!
She showed her talents in a crystal clear manner.
I saw what you did there.😁
She certainly is a cutie pie. And I love the fact that she was raised as a Christian. She's had a great career that's far, I pray the Lord continues to bless her. And she remembers to discernment of the Holy Spirit
I had the biggest crush on her lol! Watched wings, great show! Hope she is doing great!
I miss seeing her on sit coms she was smart, talented and beautiful. I'm glad she is doing well and still happy.
In the 70s I was playing bass with Bobbie Gentry in Las Vegas. Crystal and her sister Robyn were dancers in the show. I recall that she was a very kind young lady, and very professional at a young age.
Miss Robyn Bernard became famous for Her recurring role in "General Hospital."😘🎤👨⚕️👩⚕️💃📺B.W.

Tony Shalhoub on Wings was phenomenal … actually anything that guy touches is gold!

Loved Wings, hated Friends.
Wings! Loved it. Need a reunion show!
my favorit show with crystal is wings hands down! wings was one of my favorit show growing up! great video!
Loved her and Wings!! Thank you ❣️😊
I loved wings it was a great show. I loved Helen and Joe.
I find it refreshing that some actors find acting as an art and not a virtual ATM machine.
She was and still is such a gorgeous and very funny lady.... she so made wings.... but so did all her co actor's on that show
She was our teenage crush. Well along with her and Markie Post.
OmG yes!!!!! Lol mine too! And Joan Collins too! For me at least! Lol
I always thought she had great hair
I went to school with her. She washed her hair with Tide powder detergent. Very nice girl
Yes I love her! It seemed like she was on everything for a while. She's so fun! Wings and Happy Days were rad - great nostalgia. I loved her on It's a Living
I love all the characters on Wings but I think I was in love with Joe. So handsome and funny. Crystal played a spitfire and their chemistry was great.
Crystal Benard was the only reason I watched "Wings" and "It's a Living". I was in love with her!
I remember when the Slumber Party Massacre 2 and 3 combo DVD came out, the person who wrote the booklet inside the box said that Crystal Bernard was not happy about being contacted to talk about the movie lol
I wouldn't say she was "one of the greats", but she was and is a talent who managed to do quite well.
Favorite show definitely WINGS! - I LOVED JOE AND HER TOGETHER!
I LOVED that show Wings. Such a great cast, excellent writing and just fun to watch. My favorite episodes are the two-part episode where the ex wife comes back. Crystal stole the show on those episodes. I miss that show and I’m glad I can watch reruns.
I loved Wings also! 💟
@@Sassyglbeauty 🙌🏻🥰💞
WINGS, one of my favorite T.V shows. Lowell Mather was my favorite character, shooting rats at the dump!
Crystal Bernard is beautiful and sweet as a dove. She's a great singer and actress. I like her shows Happy Days, It's A Living, and Westwing.
So sad that her sister died a couple of days ago. She used to be on General Hospital.
She was great on wings and I like that she keeps her private life private.
I love her two albums and still own the CDs.
Had such a crush on her, thanks for video
Loved her on WINGS. Glad she's doing great now.

I forgot about the show, It's a Living, I loved that show
I want to know what part of never being drug addicted, divorced, or having 5 million you consider sad. Sounds successful to me.

Happy days was based in Milwaukee.
So... It was neither sad nor strange. Got it.
I love her. She is awesome.
Loved her on Wings!
I’m glad that it’s mostly a happy story and not a “sad” story…
So what exactly is so sad and strange about her story? Seems like a very happy one to me.
Love her duet "Take Forever Tonight"
1:18 Happy Days was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, not Chicago. While they may be close (Only a 90 minute drive down the lakeshore), they have and had VERY different vibes.
I am SURPRISED by that mistake!
She's from big spring texas. 70 miles from my home Odessa Texas
Watch Wings all the time Antonio and Lowell
I was obsessed with Wings.
I love her in Wings and they was my best couple on that show
Nice episode. You don't even have to resort to baiting with the title.And yet you did.
Always wondered what happened to her. I'm glad she's doing well.
Hi love ❤ her as Helen on the show wings I was rooting 4 her and Joe
Nice, good for her!😇 She is who we thought.
Oh! Forgot to mention I have a DVD collection of "Wings". Unfortunately, it's not HD since that was not yet invented.
Chicago? The show Happy Days was set in Milwaukee.
Thanks 😀
She was great in slumber party massacre 2!
I remember her.
She was in high school USA with Michael J Fox 1983.
Happy Days took place in Milwaukee NOT Chicago.
I was in Germany in 82&83 until 85
I had the privilege of seeing Crystal as Annie in a Broadway finale of Annie Get Your Gun. 💖
I had such a crush on her in my youth. I remember seeing her on Happy Days and thought she was so pretty. I was only 6 years old at the time. And she was so funny on Wings. Glad she is doing well.
I wish you well crystal your cute and a great at your craft good luck to you whatever you do

I loved wings and Crystal was a major part of that. I hope she is doing well.
Crystal Bernard was great on “Wings”
Why was "KC" in Chicago? _Happy_ _Days_ took place in Milwaukee Wisconsin just like the programme _That_ _'70s_ _Show._
Milwaukee
It's good to know she is doing well and is still thriving. I don't get what "The Sad Strange Story" was though, a little misleading.
Alex on wings was my favorite
I never saw her till Wings just before I moved to Europe till December last year. She didn't exactly register then however. So okay
I love Crystal
I went to Baylor university when she was there. Guys would just stop and gawk at her as she walked by. Yes, she was pretty.
Totally beautiful 😍😍😍😍
While in WV she and her dad stayed at my pastor's house. She was very young.
She is a great actress and singer
I believe Crystal is friends with the Howard brothers, Ron and Clint- speaking of Ron Howard, I would hedge a guess if there's ever a photo for Happy Days' 50th anniversary, Crystal would pose for a photograph in front of the original Cunningham house with Ron, Henry Winkler, Randy Roberts(Chuck Cunningham) and John Moran, standing in for his late sister, Erin!!!

Sad story? Do not see that. Cheers to Crystal.
i liked her in the movie slumber party massacre 2
