Celeb: Kristy McNichol
Occupation: Actress
Then
Now
Kristy McNichol isn’t a bad-looking woman these days but considering she is only 47 and looks 57, I would suggest she hasn’t taken the best care of herself. Still she is more attractive now than she was when she was a tomboy kid. In fact my last posting about Nancy McKeon is what made me think of Kristy. They could be sisters couldn’t they? Anyhoo.
Kristy starred in all kinds of TV movies and sitcoms. She had a good, long run during the ’70’s and early 80’s. She played Buddy (oh, so like Nancy as Jo) on the hit series Family for 4 seasons. She had guest appearances on the Love Boat, Starsky and Hutch, The Bionic Woman and Love American Style. In 1977 she was the one of the most famous teen actresses of that era. Considering her utter lack of talent and completely banal appearance that truly boggles the mind. The ’70’s was a very forgiving decade. Imagine. To see the ridiculous opening for Family click here. Such an irony that McNichol’s co-star Meredith Lesbian Baxter (she came out years ago) is named Nancy in the series. Another irony: Leif Garrett had a guest appearance on Family. Dare say that didn’t exactly launch his career. To see kristy on an episode of Love Boat with Scott Baio click here.
Mind you in 1978 she starred in a TV film called The Summer of My German Soldier and she did an impressive job. I saw that flick. She was quite awesome in it…probably for the first and last time in her career.
Kristy and her 
brother Jimmy McNichol fooled themselves into thinking they could sing well enough to launch a singing career. Ouch. They released an album entitled quite creatively Kristy and Jimmy McNichol. To listen to the cover tune He’s So Fine click here. Wow. Aren’t they amazingly talented? Look at that cover. Aren’t they just the coolest? In spite of her joke singing career, Kristy appeared on various television talk shows and a 1978 movie with Burt Reynolds (don’t worry if you’ve never heard of him, he’s further down on the list) The End. How poetic. To watch Kristy McNichol in The Carpenters Christmas Special click here. It was after this appearance that Kristy and Jimmy decided to get into music themselves. Can’t you just see why? Isn’t that an amazing sketch?
That’s where it gets raunchy.
I know you’re thinking I should have included her singing career in this section but there’s even worse news in store. It was rumoured that Kristy began dabbling in the drug scene since she became unreliable on TV set and movie sets (we should introduce her to Lindsay Lohan). However she was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder which explained a lot of her bizarre behaviours. The damage to her reputation was done although Kristy starred in 3 more films that tanked at the box office. After her unsuccessful run she was offered roles in B-list flicks and TV movies. Well she was still working at least and a lot better a job than say, in a dry cleaner.
Redemption
In 1992 Kristy retired from acting due to the difficulties associated with bipolar disorder. She appeared on a talk show stating “a lot of people have wondered what I’ve been up to. I retired from my career after 24 years. My feeling was that it was time to play my biggest part – MYSELF!”
Comeback
None.
Comeback Grade: Y for You`ll never live it down Kristy
Kristy’s Facebook Fans: 1,026 – pitiful
lifestyles of the rich and pathetic 
hey, i like her when she sang FIRST LOVE…an ost of that pirate movie with atkins…she’s cute, really cute…
YOU TELL THEM! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS VERY TALANTED! WHY CAN’T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS DEPRESSED MOODS? IT IS INFURIATING THAT NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT KRISTY GETS DEPRESSED ALL THE TIME! BUT SHE IS DOING OKAY THOUGH! KRISTY CRIED ALL THE TIME WHEN SHE WAS DEPRESSED! I UNDERSTAND BIPOLAR CAN ROB YOU OF EVERYTHING! MY GRADE FOR KRISTY MCNICHOL IS 100! SHE PASSES ON MY TEST! KRISTY HAS A HEART OF GOLD!
You’re funny. Lack of talent? LOL. Who do you think you are. Bloggers like you need a reality check. You don’t win two Emmy’s for lack of talent as America’s first 1,000,000 paid teen actress.
Oh, yes you do!! I can give you a list of over 40 thousand who have and I’ve been a member of the Television Academy for over four decades. One of the silliest of obsessions is dying for celebrities, when you make judgement from what you see on a screen, Remember, it’s all make believe.. Get to know your rabbit. Kristy was about as adorable as a rattlesnake but without any bite. Talent? It never entered her mind.
So you were even less talented, and jealous of her success?
HEY! GO JUMP IN A STUPID LAKE! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS WON MANY AWARDS FOR HER WORK IN ACTING! SHE IS VERY GIFTED (ALTHOUGH SHE IS A RETIRED ACTRESS!) THE POINT IS THAT NO MATTER IF KRISTY MCNICHOL IS GAY WE STILL LIVE KRISTY AND CARE ABOUT HER WELL BEING! SHE HAD TO RETIRE FROM ACTING! IT WAS THAT SERIOUS! IMAGINE COMING FROM A BROKEN! NEVER HAVING A CHILDHOOD! NEVER GOING TO SCHOOL OR THE PROM OR GRADUATING! KRISTY HAD TO BE REALLY RESPONSIBLE AS AN 11 YEAR OLD KID! AT AGE 16, KRISTY MCNICHOL GOT HER DRIVERS LICENSE AND HER VERY OWN CAR! THEN AT AGE 17, KRISTY GOT HER SECOND CAR, A BLACK BMW FOR HER BIRTHDAY! KRISTY HAS OWNED ALOT OF CARS AND JEEPS! SHE STILL DRIVES TODAY! THINK ABOUT HER FEELINGS STUPID MORON! WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS! KRISTY IS RICH AND FAMOUS AS FAR AS THIS FAN IS CONCERNED!
You tell them, pal. Kristy McNichol was very talanted. I wish Kristy could read this stupid crap on this stupid blog. Kristy would be angry. Kristy McNichol gets a score of 100 on my book. Kristy McNichol passes the grade.
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS AND STILL IS A RETIRED ACTRESS! IF KRISTY WANTED TO ACT AGIAN THAT WOULD BE UP TO HER! SOMEBODY MET KRISTY MCNICHOL AT BASEBALL GAME YEARS AGO AND KRISTY FOUND OUT THAT THAT THE STUPID TABLOIDS AND INTERNET WERE SAYING STUPID THINGS ABOUT HER! KRISTY REVEALED THAT NONE OF THAT STUPID STUFF WAS TRUE AND KRISTY WAS VERY ANGRY ABOUT IT! SHE WENT ON BY SAYING IF SHE HAD KNOWN WHAT HER LIFE WAS GOING TO BE LIKE SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE PURSUED A CAREER IN ACTING! SO THAT IN A NUTSHELL IS WHY KRISTY RETIRED FROM ACTING! I DON’T THINK KRISTY WILL EVER ACT AGIAN! SHE IS RETIRED AND I LIKE THE REST OF YOU KRISTY MCNICHOL SUPPORTERS HOPE SHE HAS A GREAT PRIVATE LIFE!
KRISTY MCNICHOL WOULD BE MAD IF SHE SAW WHAT THIS STUPID NEGATIVE WRITER SAID ABOUT HER! YOU ARE RIGHT! KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS ADORABLE BACK IN THE 1970s & 1980S! KRISTY IS STILL GOOD LOOKING TODAY IN 2020. IT SEEMS LIKE WHOEVER WROTE THIS STUPID TRASH ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!! IF I COULD I WOULD COPY THIS STUPID PAGE AND SEND IT TO KRISTY! SHE IS HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US ON THE PLANET!
RIGHT ON! KRISTY MCNICHOL STILL HAS FANS AROUND THE WORLD TODAY! SHE KNEW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING!
YOU TELL THEM CHERYL! IT MAKES ME VERY ANGRY ABOUT THE WAY PEOPLE PUT KRISTY MCNICHOL DOWN! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAD HER LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN! SHE HAD TO BE REALLY RESPONSIBLE AND BE THE MOTHER AROUND HER HOUSE! SHE HAS SAID TIME AND TIME AGIAN THAT THAT BEING REALLY RESPONSIBLE AT AN EARLY AGE CAUSED HER TO REBEL AS A YOUNG WOMAN! KRISTY WAS VERY ANGRY AND IT SHOWED! I REALLY THINK KRISTY HAD A ROUGH LIFE! THEN KRISTY SUFFERED AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN WHILE FILMING A MOVIE! WHEN PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN COMMMIT SUICIDE! ROBIN WILLIAMS COMMITTED SUICIDE IN 2014! BUT KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS SAID TIME AND TIME AGIAN THAT COMMITTING SUICIDE WAS STUPID AND THE WRONG WAY TO HANDLE THINGS! KRISTY SAID THAT ALTHOUGH SHE HAS BIPOLAR SHE WILL LIVE WITH IT AND GO ON LIVING! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS NOW 58 YEARS OLD! SHE DESERVES HAPPINESS!
t’s more like Kristy literally disappeared from acting in 1994, not 1998, after Empty Nest’s episode reunion. She did a voice over in 1998 for Invasion America and that was the last of her performances. The industry couldn’t trust the bipolar depression issues that affected “Just The Way You Are” production that continued with issues on Empty Nest. She then came out as bipolar and entertainment seemed over for her especially since her brother had to do Special Edition TV interviews on her behalf, it was that serious. No studio would touch Kristy McNichol ever again. Kristy’s mother Carolynne she had trusted with her financial matters to also sunk her in a financial hole blowing her fortune in 1994 on IRS $4,000,000 back taxes which is why she moved back into her modest abode from her Sherman Oaks mansion that the late actor Marlon Brando later purchased in the 1990’s. Public records show Kristy’s mother had lived it up in a Malibu mansion with a tennis court prior to the IRS dispute. One has to wonder why an actresses mother and former manager lived better than the teen actress leaving her broke, even after Empty Nest’s four year success.
Kristy spent time after her retirement on her annual tennis charity featuring some of the top tennis players of that time, and also taught drama to disadvantaged and abused kids at a local drama school. She donated to animal causes and appeared with her former boyfriend hair stylist whom she donated thousands of dollars to in order that he could have a salon in Beverly Hills. He appeared on Biography’s program saying he couldn’t have done it without Kristy McNichol’s financial support.
Kristy has suffered a lot of loss in her life both financial, career. She lost a close friend to cancer in the 1990’s and then 9/11 occurred on her 39th B-Day. Kristy’s also had to deal with public questions about her sexual orientation. Kristy attempted to come back with auditions for Dancing with the Stars in 2008 but the 1970’s segment featuring Florence Henderson of the Brady Bunch was thrown to the wind. Kristy began appearing for fans and autographs in Burbank in 2007 where the latest photos were taken. She also appeared with former costar Chris Atkins from the Pirate Movie. Kristy had a Biography program special done on her in 2003 that was very well done. I t was rumored something was in the works of a special movie featuring an American Idol Indian singer and his sister but it never materialized. That’s really the last spike that’s occurred for public awareness.
Career burn out doesn’t sit well in Hollywood, especially for multi-million dollar actresses. Kristy McNichol made a lot of people jealous with her fortune, unintentionally I’m sure. It’s a tough town. Kristy was also backstabbed by a bisexual former lover who ended up marrying a baseball player who later dissed Kristy to the Enquirer. Kristy also had problems with Liberace’s niece who she lived with a few years and later threw out of her house in a fit of rage after a trip to Italy.
Other factors for why Kristy was placed outside the politics of a tightly knit Jewish/Israel Hollywood is that she’s of Armenian descent.
I personally believe Kristy McNichol has done fairly well in spite of all the losses she’s incurred. Unlike Britney Spears, Kristy’s never, ever made a fool of herself in public or sought media attention other than going through proper channels. Regardless, there are fans always worrying about her well being since she never married and no one really knows anything about her life anymore. Many still think of her as a teenager and kid rather than an adult which is probably just one more burden on Kristy’s shoulder’s to bear as if she can’t handle her own life.
My guess is Kristy McNichol has suffered a great deal in her life both emotionally and financially as most teen stars do. I also have a hunch she got ripped off tremendously by her mother that seems to be a trend from that 70’s/80’s era of parental mismanagement of teenager’s finances. There were no laws back then protecting child and teen stars from parental abuse of finances although the devastation occurred in Kristy’s 30’s rather then teens. Go figure.
Kristy McNichol is no longer a wealthy person and neither are any members of her family, living on yesterday’s wealth. Kristy’s brother Jimmy divorced his wife and mother of his child around 2004.
These are obviously just my deductions based on information I gathered for a website I did in 2003 on her life and career. Only Kristy herself could confirm what is true or not, but I can’t help but feel like a crime sleuth researching her career and life that something was taken from her after years of hard work and in denying her emotional development in her childhood and teen years. I’m sure Kristy McNichol doesn’t want her fans to feel bad or sorry for her. Stage mothers can be a real bitch to deal with.
Thanks for all of the detail…
“Other factors for why Kristy was placed outside the politics of a tightly knit Jewish/Israel Hollywood is that she’s of Armenian descent.”
RU kidding me? Like anyone in Hollywood, jewish or otherwise, cares about Armenian descent, positively or negatively. Seems like a thinly veiled way to insert your anti-semitism into the conversation in order to try to legitimize it.
I hope you wear your anti-semite badge proudly.
Are you serious? It makes a huge difference, you have no idea what you’re talking about dude.
she was in the forgotten one 1998
I WATCHED KRISTY MCNICHOL IN THE FIRGOYYEN ONE! SHE WAS GREAT TO WATCH! THE MOVIE WAS RELEASED 30 YEARS AGO IN 1990. ELISABETH BROOKS DIED ON SEPTEMBER 7th, 1997, 4 DAYS BEFORE KRISTY’S 35th BIRTHDAY! KRISTY’S 35th BIRTHDAY WAS A HARD TIME FOR KRISTY AS SHE DIDN’T FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY THAT YEAR!
I agree with below..soooo many UNTALENTED actors, singers, etc. are up there making tons of dough, selling records, making horrible movies, etc..She could act I thought, and still think, but her singing was shit. I really can’t understand that one at . But she seems like a sweet gal
Cheryl
I too am a huge Kristy McNichol fan. She has suffered so much in her life, but Kristy is still alive. Usually most actors with depression commit suicide. But Kristy has said that committing suicide was stupid and has said that she would live with depression for the rest of her life, I had a friend in my homeroom commit suicide in 1984. Let me tell you it upset me emotionally. He was my best friend and I took his suicide very hard. Anyways Kristy is living proof that anybody with bipolar can live for years with it. Kristy uses her depression to help others deal with bipolar. Kristy learned years ago that kids who were being bulleyed committed suicide, and she was very angry about kids being bulleyed and ever since, kids turn to Kristy McNichol for help and advice. You are right. Kristy has lost alot in her life, but she recovered from her tragedies. Thanks for showing love for Kristy McNichol.
Hi Cheryl,
great article you wrote about Kristy McNichol. She has lost so much in her life, but she is doing okay. She is a very private person who has lived a very private life, since she was young. Today at age 58, Kristy McNichol still lives a very private life. And she deserves to live with a very private life. I had no idea she threw her roommate out of her house. But Kristy had every right to threw her roommate out of her house in a fit of rage. We all get that way sometimes. Have a great evening.
HI CHERYL
I AGREE 100% WITH YOU! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAD EVER RIGHT TO THROW HER ROOMMATE OUT OF HER HOUSE IN A FIT OF RAGE! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS BEEN OUTRAGED MANY TIMES IN HER LIFE! KRISTY JUST COULDN’T TRUST ANYBODY! BUT SHE LOVES HER FAMILY ALOT! WHEN KRISTY FOUND OUT WHAT HER MOTHER DONE WITH HER (KRISTY’S) MONEY KRISTY WAS OUTRAGED AND ANGRILY YELLED AT HER MOTHER FOR HER BETRAYING HER! BUT KRISTY LOVES HER MOTHER VERY MUCH! MOTHERS CAN BETRAY THEIR KIDS BUT KRISTY HAS SAID THAT SHE LOVES HER MOTHER VERY MUCH! I THINK I WOULD BE MAD TOO IF MY MOTHER DID THAT TO ME TOO! BUT I REALIZE NOW THAT MY MOTHER MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US ON THIS PLANET!
THAT IS TRUE CHERYL! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS BEEN A GREAT ACTRESS! SHE HAD NO TRAINING AND EVERYBODY ON “FAMILY” LOVED KRISTY! KRISTY IN TURN LOVED EVERYBODY ON “FAMILY” TOO! IT IS GREAT THAT THEY ALL CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER ON “FAMILY”! KRISTY WAS VERY UPSET WHEN JAMES BRODERICK DIED ON NOVEMBER st, 1982. THEN KRISTY HAD A BEST FRIEND WHO WORKED WITH KRISTY AS A GUEST STAR ON “FAMILY” WHO WAS MURDERED ON NOVEMBER 4th, 1982, SENDING KRISTY MCNICHOL OVER THE EDGE! KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS VERY UPSET AND VERY ANGRY ABOUT THAT GIRL’S MURDER! EVERYBODY WAS VERY ANGRY ABOUT THAT GIRL’S MURDER! I TRULY THINK KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS SURVIVED ALL THE TRAGEDIES IN HER LIFE! KRISTY WAS DEVISTATED WHEN HER BEST FRIEND ELISABETH BROOKS DIED ON SEPTEMBER 7th, 1997, 4 DAYS BEFORE KRISTY’S 35th BIRTHDAY. KRISTY DID NOT FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING HER 35th BIRTHDAY. SHE CRIED FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS AFTER BROOKS DEATH! THEN SADA THOMPSON DIED IN 2011. KRISTY TOOK SADA’S DEATH VERY HARD! KRISTY IS DOING OKAY!
KRISTY MCNICHOL WOULD WANT HER FANS TO BE HAPPY FOR HER! MY GUESS IS THAT KRISTY MCNICHOL ENDURED ALOT OF PRESSURE IN HER LIFE! TODAY AT AGE 58, KRISTY IS ALIVE AND WELL! SHE KNEW HOW TO LIGHTEN UP EVERY TV SHOW OR MOVIE! I TRULY THINK ALL MUST DO OUR PART AND HELP KRISTY MCNICHOL PROTEST BULLEYING! SHE IS TRULY A CHAMPION WHEN IT COMES TO BULLEYING! IT IS A SERIOUS CRIME! I USED TO GET BULLEYED IN SCHOOL BUT I WAS STRONGER THAN I THOUGHT! I BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF BULLIES! UNLIKE MOST BULLEYED KIDS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE I DID NOT KILL MYSELF! I ADMIT THAT I DIDN’T THINK I WOULD LIVE TO BE 52 YEARS OLD! BUT I AM ALIVE AND WELL TODAY AT AGE 52 YEARS OLD! I AM PROUD OF MY LIFE!
I remember Kristy McNichol very well. She was and still is an attractive, talented, person who I will never forget and miss seeing on TV very much.
DITTO PONY! KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS A GREAT ACTRESS! SHE IS RETIRED BUT SHE STILL DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES!
I grew up watching Kristy and idiolized her very much. Even named my dog “buddy” after her. I remembered playing her album over and over…I still know the words to every song! Its a shame her mother took advantage of her finances leaving her broke. Anyway, I keep praying for a comeback because Kristy is that gifted.
HI CHARLENE,
LIKE YOU I TOO AM A HUGE KRISTY MCNICHOL FAN! I READ ALOT ABOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER AND THE EFFECTS OF BIPOLAR! KRISTY HAS MOOD SWINGS! I THINK WE ALL HAVE MOOD SWINGS! BUT KRISTY HAS HAD ALOT HAPPEN TO HER! SHE HAS HAD TO ASSUME REAL RESPONSIBILITIES AS AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL! KRISTY HAS HAD TO PLAY THE MOTHER OF THE HOUSE! BUT KRISTY IS STILL RESPONSIBLE TODAY! KRISTY WAS VERY ANGRY ABOUT BEING THE RESPONSIBLE ONE AS A KID! BUT I THINK KRISTY IS THE STRONGEST PERSON ON THE PLANET! YOU ARE RIGHT! KRISTY HAS HAD EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS TOO! ON “FAMILY” SHE PLAYED BUDDY! BUT KRISTY ASKED PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW TO ALLOW HER TO PLAY BUDDY AS HERSELF! THE PRODUCERS GRANTED KRISTY’S REQUEST AND ALLOW KRISTY TO INCORPERATE HER EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS WITH BUDDY! AT FIRST I THOUGHT KRISTY WAS ACTING! SHE WAS ACTING BUT SHE EXPRESSED HER REAL EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS ON “FAMILY”! SHE WAS ANGRY WHEN “FAMILY” WAS CANCELLED IN 1980. I HOPE SHE RETURNS TO ACTING AND PRODUCING BUT I DOUBT SHE WILL! THE LAST TIME
Real easy to sit at a keyboard and tear-up others, isn’t it, loser? Seems like a serious case of celebrity-hater, pure envy and spite. You’re a zero who blogs and these are people who’ve acted before cameras, whether you liked it or not, and now they’re older and still well-known while you’re just another weasel hiding behind a web page. As you will always be…
BILLSCAT
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! KRISTY SUFFERED MANY DEVASTATING EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS IN HER LIFE! BUT THROUGH IT ALL KRISTY SURVIVED EVERY EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS THAT BEFALLED HER! IF PEOPLE ASKED ME WHO MY FAVIROTE ACTRESS WAS IT WORLD BE KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS RETIRED BUT SHE STILL DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES! SHE WORKS WITH CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS AND IT BRWAKS KRISTY’S HEART WHEN CHILDREN COMMIT SUICIDE! I THINK KRISTY MCNICHOL CAN GO THROUGH HER EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS AND SURVIVE! I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED ABOUT MY CLASSMATE IN HIGHSCHOOL KILLING HIMSELF! BUT I RECOVERED!
About your claim of a Facebook page, none of those are by Kristy McNichol herself. Kristy doesn’t promote herself at all, she’s retired.
Just a note you are a particularly vicious individual to write about her as you have. You’re mindset indicates a callous, cruel and sadistic person projecting your own feelings of failure and guilt onto your victims.
Yeah Cheryl, This country is full of hateful people. I am an old man of 75 and also bi-polar. I have always admired Kristy and to those who say she has no talent should watch and listen carefully to, ” It happened one night In Georgia”. She had a lot of bad breaks but for me she redefines the word “CUTE” I have a daughter four years older than Kristy that everyone says is drop dead beautiful born to wealth and privilege but as sorry as a person can get. Were it possible I would trade her for Kristy as my daughter. Reading all of the vicious comments about Kristy has made me a people hater.
HI GLYNN
I TOO HAVE NO LOVE FOR PEOPLE WHO WRITE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! KRISTY HAS HAD HER LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG! SHE WAS ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF HER FAMILY AND BE REALLY RESPONSIBLE AT AGE 11. SHE HAS SAID THAT THAT WAS ONEOF THE REASONS SHE BECAME ANGRY AS AN ADULT. BUT I LOOK AT HOW SPECIAL KRISTY IS TODAY! SHE SUFFERED AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN IN 1982, WHILE FILMING A MOVIE! BUT KRISTY RECOVERED AND THE MOVIE WAS COMPLETED A YEAR LATER! SHE SUFFERED EMOTIONALLY WHEN “THE PIRATE MOVIE” FAILED AT THE BOX OFFICE! TODAY FANS LOVE “THE PIRATE MOVIE” AND KRISTY MCNICHOL AS WELL! IT IS AMAZING HOW WELL KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS DONE IN HER LIFE! KRISTY GOT HER DRIVERS LICENSE AND HER OWN CAR WHEN SHE TURNED 16. TODAY AT AGE 58 YEARS OLD, KRISTY STILL HAS HER DRIVERS LICENSE AND HER OWN CAR AND SHE STILL DRIVES! THANKS FOR SHOWING HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE HAS FANS TODAY IN 2020.
HI CHERYL
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%! KRISTY MCNICHOL DOES NOT GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA! IF KRISTY DID SHE COULD EXPLAIN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD WHY SHE RETIRED FROM ACTING! BUT KRISTY IS ENTITTLED TO HER PRIVACY! SHE HAD TO RETIRE BECAUSE SHE WAS DEPRESSED AND NOT DOING VERY WELL! KRISTY HAS LOST SO MUCH! BUT SHE SURVIVED IT ALL! HER MOTHER WAS AN ACTRESS AND KRISTY BECAME AN ACTRESS TOO! KRISTY RETIRED PERMENATLY FROM ACTING IN 2001.
Why do people believe these days that they can pretty much say what they want without repercussion? 47 and looks 57??? That first paragraph was enough for me. Think about it, teacher…would you want such a offensive, foolish thing said about you??? If you’re going to talk about someone, try their accomplishment. Their attitude. Their history. But not their looks, unless it is germaine to the article itself…and this, as mean-spirited as it gets, was not.
She is still beautiful and has such a great smile she lights up a room. . I wish there were more talented women like her she was incredible.
I agree. I saw her in a Neil Simon movie and she is an extremely talented actress.
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS VERY TALANTED AS AN ACTRESS! SHE KNEW HOW TO ACT FROM AN EARLY AGE! KRISTY IS RETIRED FROM ACTING BUT SHE IS DOING WELL AND HAPPY WITH HER LIFE!
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS A TERIFFIC ACTRESS! BUT BIPOLAR ROBBED POOR KRISTY OF A CAREER SHE LOVED MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD! BUT RETIREMENT IS GREAT FOR KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES!
Good Day,
I just want to say there is no show that can replace Family. I bought the season one and two disc’s and can’t get enough!!!!!!! I’m a jock kind of guy love my sports but, there is something about that show and the acting that takes my breath away. I will always consider Miss McNichol one of the best actresses of all time. That entire lineup Garry Frank, Sada Thompson, James Broderick, Meredith Baxter Birney and of course Kristy WHAT CHEMISTY!!!!!!!!!!!! When I’m down I watch that show and its like magic it reminds me of a better quality life back then. Kristy, you are the reason why there is pause button on dvd players.
I love the 70’s we should have froze time to back then life would be allot better then it is now.
Brava !
HEY PAL
I TOO AM A HUGE KRISTY MCNICHOL FAN! SHE HAS HAD HER SHARE OF EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS! WE ALL HAVE EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS IN OUR LIVES! I AM GUILTY OF HAVING EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS BUT I AM ONLY HUMAN! EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS CAN BE HARD TO HANDLE! KRISTY NEEDS TO KNOW HOW MUCH WE ALL LOVE HER! SHE IS SPECIAL!
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS ALSO INTO SPORTS AS A YOUNG LADY! NOBODY WAS A MATCH FOR KRISTY MCNICHOL IN SPORTS! KRISTY KICKED THEIR BUTTS IN SPORTS! LOL! BUT SERIOUSLY KRISTY WAS A CHAMPION! ALL THE OTHER STARS ADDMIRED KRISTY’S ATHELETIC SKILLS! SHE WAS UNSTOPPABLE!
Yea, I have to agree. You pretty much suck. Kristy is great. I especially liked her in the Pirate Movie, lots of people do…
By the way, I think she had a lovely singing voice…
Frank
you really like her brother…you know…you know.
YOU TELL HINM FRANK! KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS ROBBED OF HER ACTING CAREER BY HER BIPOLAR AFFECTIVE DISORDER! I WISH KRISTY MCNICHOL HAPPINESS!
HI FRANK
KRISTY MCNICHOL IS NOW 58 YEARS OLD! SHE HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER! KRISTY SAID TIME AND TIME AGIAN THAT THAT SHE GREW UP BACKWORDS! SHE WAS REALLY RESPONSIBLE AT AN EARLY AGE! THINGS TOOK A HARD TURN FOR POOR KRISTY! SHE REBELED AS A YOUNG WOMAN! SHE WAS REALLY ANGRY ABOUT IT AND IT SHOWED! SHE IS ALSO AN EMOTIONAL PERSON TOO! WHEN I WATCHED KRISTY MCNICHOL PLAYING BUDDY ON “FAMIL” I SAW THE EMOTIONAL SCENES KRISTY SHOWED FOR HER CHARACTER! I LATER FOUND OUT THAT KRISTY ACTUALLY PLAED HERSELF AS BUDDY! KRISTY SAID “ACTUALLY BUDDY IS REALLY ME! I COME IN THE MORNING AND PLAY ACTUALLY MSELF! I SEE ALOT OF ME IN BUDDY!” KRISTY SAID WORKIBF ON “FAMIL” WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HER! KRISTY DESERVES HAPPINESS!
Likewise with fans here, I firmly believe that it is interesting when someone throws “shade” on a talented person such as Kristy here. She obviously did make quite a positive impact with her persona in general for years and it is just simply stupid to point a finger of rudeness at her after what she has given to her fans, the industry, etc. alone. Nobody here is claiming to know her personally responding to you ” Teacher”, however, have a heart ya know… she’s just as human as everyone and if you don’t like Kristy McNichol then save your energy and ignorant comments for yourself. Again, it’s just stupid and a waste of time for fans wanting to read a good bio by logging on here…only to be disappointed by this sloppy blurb. Gimme a break! Kristy McNichol was one of the best actresses and many fans would love it one day if she ever chose to make a comeback. I miss her!
KP
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS A GREAT ACTRESS! SHE IS RETIRED NOW BUT SHE STILL DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA ON BEHALF OF VARIOUS CHARATIES! KRISTY ALSO LOVES TO WATER SKI AND VARIOUS OTHER SPORTS! SHE STILL HAS FANS ALL AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD!
I loved her always…cute gal, i wanted to massage her feet.
KRISTY MCNICHOL LOOKS THE SAME AT 58 YEARS OLD! I HOPE SHE IS DOING WELL!
Kristy has lived her life authentically. Why must others feel compelled to tear her apart? Acting was for a season in her life. She did remarkable work. If she hadn’t, we wouldn’t feel the need to write blogs about her, or comment on blogs. It would be a moot point. If I had the opportunity to speak to her directly, all I would say is……..Thank you for giving the beauty you have to the world. I hope you find all the happiness this life affords. Never stop being true to your heart. Be happy for this moment……..this moment…….is your life.
Your test was of exceptional intelligence and precusion, to oppose arrogant words, bulgare sorde.
Your text was of exceptional intelligence and precision, to oppose arrogants and rudes words
KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS A GREAT ACTRESS! SHE NEVER HAD ANY TRAINING! KRISTY KNEW HOW TO ACT!
GINA
YOU ARE RIGHT! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT AS A YOUNG PERSON! SHE HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER! IT IS A SERIOUS ILLNESS THAT MAKES YOU HAVE MOOD SWINGS AND MAKES YOU ACT STRANGE! POOR KRISTY WAS A VICTIM OF DEPRESSION AND SHE SAID THINGS AT THE TIME BECAUSE SHE WAS DEPRESSED! IT WASN’T KRISTY’S FAULT THAT SHE WAS EMOTIONAL ALL THE TIME! BIPOLAR DISORDER CAN MAKE YOU ACT STRANGE! I AM GLAD KRISTY MCNICHOL IS OKAY TODAYQ
most of us have been touched by Kristy’s talent, grace and awesome acting! I have nothing
but great things to say about her. She was and still is an inspiration to me. She was one of the best
dramatic young actresses of her time. She appears to have a giving heart. We do not know her life and should not judge her, teacher. If you cannot say anythign kind about her, then why say anything at all. Until you have walked a mile in her shoes, have a little heart. I agree, with Gina 100 %!
Ditto Felicia,
I too have the highest respect for Kristy McNichol. She is depressed but she helps people who have depression. When my father died in 2006, I was depressed for years. So now I do get still get depressed, but I am okay. Kristy McNichol has to live with bipolar for the rest of her life. I think everybody should walk a mile in Kristy’s shoes and see what life is like for Kristy. I now understand more about Kristy’s depression. I wish Kristy McNichol the best in her private life.
Hate much?
Yes. It is a rude article
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%! IT IS A STUPID RUDE ARTICLE! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN HER LIFE! KRISTY MCNICHOL RETIRED PERMENANTLY FROM ACTING IN 2001, BECAUSE SHE WAS ANGRY ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING SHE WAS FAKING HER DEPRESSION! KRISTY WAS NOT FAKING HER DEPRESSION! SHE REALLY WAS DEPRESSED! I WISH PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE KRISTY ALONE! SHE HATES TABLOIDS BECAUSE THEY WROTE ARTICLES ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! THE REPORTS SAID KRISTY MCNICHOL WAS BROKE! HOW DO THEY KNOW? THAT WHAT WAS WHY KRISTY BECAME VERY ANGRY! ALL THE RUMORS ABOUT KRISTY BEING BROKE ARE FALSE!
IT IS PEOPLE LIKE THIS STUPID TURKEY ONHERE THAT WRITES NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS VERY CREATIVE IN HER WORK!
I takes a lot of courage to do what Kristy did. Bipolar disorder can and is difficut to
deal with. Be happy , be healthy Kristy! I miss seeing you and wish the best for you.
Felicia
YOU TELL HIM FELICIA! KRISTY MCNICHOL DESERVES TO BE HAPPY! I WISH KRISTY THE BEST IN HER PRIVATE LIFE!
My God, Kristy’s acting performances on “Family” are extraordinary! How could anyone call
her a “no talent?” Right now I am watching the series’ dvd’s, and thoroughly enjoying reliving
this magnificent drama. Kristy will always be considered one of the finest child actors! I would
love to see her launch a comeback. God bless you Kristy.
You keep dreaming malaka. It’s just you and your hand tonight….loser
MARIA
I AGREE 100% WITH YOU! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS A VERY PRIVATE PERSON! SHE ALWAYS HAS BEEN PRIVATE! WE ALL HAVE PRIVATE LIVES! I AM VERY PRIVATE! I LIVE A VERY PRIVATE LIFE! BUT THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONAL TRAGEDIES IN HER LIFE ! JAMES BRODERICK, WHO PLAYED HER FATHER ON “FAMILY”, DIED ON NOVEMBER 1st, 1982, 2 YEARS AFTER “FAMILY”, WAS CANCELLED! KRISTY TOOK HIS LOSS VERY HARD! THEN 3 DAYS LATER, A GIRL KRISTY WORKED WITH ON “FAMILY”, WAS MURDERED, SENDING KRISTY OVER THE EDGE! KRISTY WAS VERY SAD AND REALLY ANGRY ABOUT HER FRIEND’S MURDER! SHE HAS LIVED THROUGH IT ALL AND SURVIVED!
NICOLE
KRISTY MCNICHOL IS HAPPILY RETIRED TODAY! SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN HER LIFE! SHE IS A WONDERFUL PERSON! I NEVER HAVE MET KRISTY MCNICHOL BUT IF I DID I WOULD TELL HER THAT SHE IS A GREAT PERSON! WE ALL GO THROUGH ALOT OF EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS IN OUR LIVES! BUT WE ALL GET THROUGH THEM! GLAD KRISTY MCNICHOL IS DOING OKAY TODAY!
WE ALL WOULD LOVE FOR KRISTY TO ACT AGIAN! BUT WE NEED TO RESPECT KRISTY’S PRIVACY AND LET HER ENJOY HER RETIREMENT! BUT ON A HAPPY NOTE KRISTY DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES!
Happy birthday, Kristy! May you be blessed in the year ahead and have peace and happiness!
9/11/01-We will never forget the victims of the World Trade Center.
Take care,
Felicia
OBSCURE actress? Jeezuss, what are u, 12 years old? Kristy was the cutey pie next door for my generation. Avril Lavigne has big shoes to fill.
YOU TELL THEM HANK! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS A GIFTED WOMAN! SHE IS GAY BUT SHE STILL HAS US AS HER FANS! IF I WERE WRITING SOMETHING ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL I WOULD CALL HER RICH AND FAMOUS! KRISTY MCNICHOL HAS DONE WORK AS AN ACTRESS! BUT WHILE KRISTY WAS ACTING ON “FAMILY” SHE WAS ALLOWED TO EXPRESS HER REAL EMOTIONS! I WISH THEY WOULD REBOOT “FAMILY” BECAUSE IT WAS SO GROUNDBREAKING!
I only found your idiotic blog because I was Googling Kristy McNichol. If she’s a nobody, what does that make you? Just another troll… yawn.
LA LA
YOU ARE 100% PERCENT CORRECT ABOUT THIS STUPID TURKEY! WHOEVER THIS TURKEY ONHERE IS HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN WRITE TRASH ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS THE REASON WE DEFEND HER! SHE HAS DONE MANY ACTING WORK ONLY TO HAVE BIPOLAR ROB POOR KRISTY OF THE WORK SHE LOVED DOING-ACTING! KRISTY IS RETIRED FROM ACTING BUT SHE STILL DOES VOLUNTEER WORK IN LOS ANGELES!
I loved her acting and her singing so I guess you don’t know what you are talking about.
I AGREE 100% WITH YOU! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS A GREAT PERSON WHO LIVES A VERY PRIVATE LIFE! KRISTY HAS ALWAYS HAD A VERY PRIVATE LIFE! SHE SHARED HER OWN HOUSE WITH A WOMAN WHO WAS LIBERACE’S NIECE! KRISTY LATER THREW HER ROOMMATE OUT OF HER HOUSEIN A FIT OF RAGE WHEN FOUND OUT WHAT HER ROOMMATE HAD DONE! KRISTY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO THROW HER ROOMMATE OUT OF HER HOUSE! KRISTY WAS REALLY ANGRY AT HER ROOMMATE! BUT TODAY KRISTY MCNICHOL IS 58 YEARS OLD! I WISH KRISTY MCNICHOL THE BEST!
Well, one thing for sure, Time it is a Wrecker, you look at her when she was young and still a kid at heart, before time changed everything, and you look now and you think wow, still survived which is more than what others have been able to do that says a lot, hope she can find happiness no matter what anyone thinks, we all deserve a shot at that.
What’s more pathetic, being a washed up actress and singer or someone that spends all their time in their mom’s basement thinking and writing about them?
The person who writes this “blog” apparently hasn’t got a life, and spends his/her day sitting at a PC, posting snarky hateful comments.
Sad really. To avoid facing the fact that he/she has no career, or talent, or life of his/her own, this person instead choose’s to focus on a complete stranger, who he/she only knows through the media.
Here’s some advice, Get a life.
YOU TELL THEM BROTHER! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS VERY SPECIAL TO ALL OF US WHO ARE HER FANS AND WHO LOVE AND CARE ABOUT HER WELLBEING AND HAPPINESS!
thank you all for a most entertaining lunch! it is inspiring to see that someone who is trying to make someone’s “downfall” funny has inspired so much compassion and cheer leading. i think everyone should find christy’s email and send this to her so she can save it on one of those low self esteem days we all have once in awhile so she can remember she is appreciated when she doesn’t feel it.
you all cracked me up!
IF I COULD I WOULD SEND THIS STUPID PAGE TO KRISTY AND LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER AND CARE ABOUT HER EVEN ON DAYS SHE IS FEELING EMOTIONAL!
Check this out! I know Kristy and you can trust I will never show her these messages. There’s no reason for me to show her what key warrior has to say!
Trust me she knows she’s loved, and you can also trust she loves her fans right back.
shut up!
She was very cute back then and a beautyful person still.
What an IDIOT!!!!
Wow! you responded to that a little too quick dude! Got a lot of time on your hands huh????? HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
IDIOT IS RIGHT! KRISTY IS LOVED BY ALL OF US!
I have a feeling about kristy that live my area..if i see her i want to give her a bigg hug and girl night out and go shopping lady
And her birthday coming up i wish i can go her birthday party
OMG!! I loved Ms. McNichol!! She was my icon growing up! She’s still my icon, and she’s beautiful! Still!
The Chokes on you Ed-Geene dudes, Your just mad cause Kristy and Jimmy, wont come back to the “New and improved” Tyrannical hollyweird; Run by the Zodiak Murderers, and the Hillside slashers. Being gay is one thing, but I’ve come to know you as a bunch of Tyrannical Queer, Jack the Ripper cases.Who are the Holly-weird Dudes that are always slandering my good name, and accusing me of being a Queer? I’m accusing them of being a bunch of lying anti-christs, who not only worship Satan: But commit human sacralidge, and perform human sacrafice! (GOD knows what else) No wonder Kristy’s hiding. I’d be hiding too! The last time I saw Kristy, she still looked like she was 20; YOUR pathetic! And if you’ve all got something to say about it, you could tell it to Central Intelligence and thr F.B.I. I’m not playing your game. Ever have the Tom Araya, strangle an annoying queer experience? You know what I mean? I’m a good guy, Straight guy; But I’m not a Guy you want to tangle with, and you’re Dangling here.
Now this makes sense. thank you Frank. Ms. McNickol was a solid performer to me. We have no clue about everything that went on to contribute. May she & the family be blessed
The only reason she has so few followers is because she is no longer doing any tv work. She worked plenty.
Whoa, sick little article. Anybody who could see The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia and not only think Kristy wasn’t uniquely and wonderfully talented but want to write a piece mocking her is in really sad shape. She was an authentic and adorable performer with the courage to move on past the business when it became necessary for her health. What she looks like in the updated photo is a real person triumphing over a nasty disease.
BIPOLAR DISORDER! IT CONTROLS POOR KRISTY AND SHE DOESN’T MEAN ANY OF THE STUFF SHE SAYS WHEN SHE IS DEPRESSED! BUT KRISTY REVERTS BACK TO HER OLDSELF AND SHE FEELS GREAT!
Why Do People Have Nothing Better To Do Than,”Attack” Kristy,If Anthing..Attack The Film
Critics,”Who Dont Pay To See Films In The First Place” Plus Is It Really Fare To Degrade
Somone Due To Their Misfortunes.
Kristys Films Finally Seem To Be Aquring “Some” Recognition, “Theyre Not All Turkeys”
Plus Nobody Should Suffer a Breakdown at 21,and Yes Kristy Does Look Stunning In
That Bikini,”Im 43 Male and My Possibly Be Regarded as Sad” But I Wish People Would
Show Some Kindness,Even Her Brothers,”Shockingly” Altered Features Have Been
Allegedly “Drug” Induced “and Nothing Proved”,
i Admit Her Later Episodes of “Empty nest” Are Difficult To Watch But its More Than Likely
She Was Unaware Of Her Behaviour…Proof She Is Still Loved and NOT Crazy
Barry, It is refreshing to see your comments, In this mode of posting all I can see is from your words is that you are a “Class” act. The first time I saw Kristy was in the TV series, Family. I thought to myself, “What a cute and charming little girl”. It bodes badly on our society that most of what I have seen on line is so hateful and negative. I wonder if anyone will degrade you for misspelling the word, “fair”. Myself I just assume that you in error hit a wrong key(s). I will be watching and hope nothing ever appears. My kindest regards to you and as you said there are many of us who love Kristy. I wish I knew how to contact her and offer a helping hand. The rapid aging she is experiencing can be reversed. I am a retired ND (naturopathic physician). I am almost 75 and am told I look around forty and have the photos to prove it. Most everyone can maintain their youth at least another forty years. If you know how to contact her, tell her I will treat her for free and she can regress her age back to the “bikini” picture. May God bless you for your kind words.
You tell them, Barry,
Kristy McNichol is still loved by her fans today in 2020. I think I know what happened to Kristy. She had no childhood. She assumed responsibilities as a 11 year old girl. Kristy had to play the mother which hurt K emotionally. But I look at Kristy McNichol today and like you I realise now that she survived it all.
BARRY J
I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! IT IS NOT KRISTY’S FAULT THAT SHE GETS DEPRESSED! KRISTY HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER! KRISTY CAN’T HELP IT THAT HER DEPRESSION COMES BACK! BUT I LOOK AT HOW AMAZING HOW WELL KRISTY HAS DONE IN HER LIFE! SHE IS STILL STRONG THOUGH! KRISTY HAS HER FANS PROTECTING HER! I WISH KRISTY MCNICHOL ALL THE HAPPINESS IN HER PRIVATE LIFE!
I know Kristy Barry and you can bet I will be showing her THIS comment. Thank you for being a loyal fan to her.
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY BARRY! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS ENJOYING HER PRIVATE LIFE! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS ALSO A RETIRED ACTRESS! I FIND PEOPLE WHO WRITE THIS STUPID TRASH ONHERE OUTRAGOUS AND DISGUSTING! I WISH I COULD FIRE WHOEVER WROTE THIS STUPID TRASH ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL!
BARRY
YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS REALLY EMOTIONAL AND DEPRESSED! SHE HAS BEEN DEPRESSED SINCE SHE WAS 20 YEARS OLD! BIPOLAR CAN MAKE PEOPLE ACT STRANGE! POOR KRISTY WAS A VICTIM OF BIPOLAR! SHE ACTED STRANGE AND SAID STUFF SHE DIDN’T MEAN TO SAY! KRISTY DIDN’T MEAN NONE OF THAT STUFF SHE SAID! BIPOLAR MADE KRISTY DEPRESSED AND THAT IS WHY SHE ACTED STRANGE! KRISTY IS HAPPILY RETIRED TODAY!
Dear Glynn
Thanks For The Reply,I Would Also Love To Get In Contact With Kristy,”and Jimmy”
But I Believe This Is a Near Impossible Task,I Have Been Working On a Biography
“For Nearly 3 years Now” But With So Much Misguided Or Mis-Quoted Information
“and Copyright Laws” Im Probably ,”Again” Facing a Near Impossible Task.
I Have Also Forwarded Reveiws “On Her Films” On Amazon,I Have To Admit I
Dont Actually Remember Seeing,”family” In The U.K,”Help Wanted” and First
Noticed Her In,”Starsky and Hutch” and,”Love Boat” and Have Been a,”Fan”
Since..”She Looks Stunning In The Pirate Movie”..and People Say She Can,t Sing.?
Thanks For Some Nice Feedback..Kind Regards..Barry.J
KRISTY CAN SING! I HEARD KRISTY SING MYSELF AND SHE IS A FANTASTIC SINGER!
i absolutely love Kristy McNichol ! I love all her movies & she seems very sweet & kind……….she deserved an oscar nomination or the actual best actress/best supporting actress oscar for little darlings,only when i laugh or night the lights went out in georgia……deserved those emmys too…………
Thanks Barry,
It is so encouraging to me to know that there are a few good people left in this insane world.
Kindest Regards to you and yours,
Glynn
i agree 100%…..im gay too lol
WOW, What an interesting read. I would have to agree with the thousand of fans that love the siblings. They sang fine and they very loving and caring about each other. I got to work with them both at the Chicago Hollywood Show this past Sept 2013 and they were everything we all wished they were when they were famous. Down home…humble…giving,,,outgoing…responsive…and so much more.
I can proudly say that Jimmy is a close friend now and I had the pleasure of meeting Kris in Chicago. She is very private with her personal life and the love they have for thier immediate family, which means their mom, is truly a sight to behold. To see such true love and concern for each others’ well being is phenominal. As a friend, I will say to all, these two are the most humane people I have ever met.

Dear Kelly.
You Have More Guts Than Me,I Posted My Comment On This Site as Most
You Have To Register,This One You Dont,But Its Nice To Know Their Are
Some Of Us Who Still Have Kristy In Our Hearts.
She Is Not Mad/Nor Crazy,She Retired From Acting Due To Her Health,But I Just
Wish People,”And Critics” Would Show Some Kindness.
Best Wishes
Barry J “UK”
what a shallow self-absorbed statement… “I, I, Me, Me”… no “Thanks, you guys, for caring” or “I love you all”, etc. I’ve met this tramp and she’s NOT an ingratiating person. I’m glad she crawled into a hole and pulled the topsoil in after her. good riddance, Krusty McKluckol
Its People Like The Above That Get Me Wild,Kristy,Once Said She Loved
Loved Filmimg In Austrailia Becouse The People,”Instinctively care about
peoples feelings”,Yet Its People Like This With No Heart That Bring The
World Down,Most Of The Comments Ive Read By People Who Have Met
Her Have Been Positive,She Graciously Signs Photos at Her Personal
Appearances Yet She Gets Referred To as a,”tramp”,You Want To See
“Shallow” and “Self Absorbed” Check Out Justin Beiber,Quickly On
The Road To Adult Self Destruction,”At Least Kristy Never Vomited On
Stage” To My knowladge. Barry J “UK”
SHOW KRISTY MCNICHOL SOME RESPECT STUPID! WE ALL LOVE KRISTY MCNICHOL! AS USUAL YOU NEED TO SHUT UP ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US!
SHUT UP ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS A KIND PERSON! I NEVER HAVE MET KRISTY MCNICHOL BUT IF I DID I WOULD COPY THIS STUPID PAGE AND SEND IT TO KRISTY MCNICHOL! KRISTY IS ONE PERSON YOU DON’T WANT TO TICK OFF! I AM NOT PLAYING THIS TIME! YOU GO AND CRAWL BACK IN A STUPID HOLE! YOU ARE SUCH A STUPID LOSER! IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO WRITE THIS STUPID TRASH ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL OR ANYBODY ELSE AS WELL!
Not a “trace” of “tramp” in the sexiest woman to ever grace the screen.
KRISTY MCNICHOL IS A CUTE GAL! I AM HAPPY KRISTY FOUND A REASON TO LIVE AND BE HAPPY! WE ARE ALL HUMAN! WE ALL GET ANGRY AT TIMES! BUT I THINK KRISTY MCNICHOL IS TRULY GENIUS! SHE COULD DEVELOPE PICTURES (AS SEEN ON “FAMILY”)AS BUDDY)! THAT YOUNG WOMAN CAN DO EVERYTHING! I AM HAPPY SHE IS MARRIED! LIKE I SAID KRISTY MCNICHOL DESERVES TO BE HAPPY!
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year To All The Decent People On

i have had a crush on kristy since the 1st time i seen her on tv she still looks good! i would love to meet her does she ever do any signings or anything?
NO! KRISTY MCNICHOL RETIRED FROM ACTING & SINGING IN 2001. BUT TODAY KRISTY DOES VOLUNTEER WORK ON BEHALF OF SEVERAL CHARATIES IN LOS ANGELES!
Stan I know this comment was a very long time ago, but if you’re still interested In know this information I can help you. 🙂
Your about to get your… Kicked. Go back to the hole you crawled out of. I find you in person, you will beg!
It isn’t worth it!
i love kristy mcnichol huge fan she has the best smile wishes i could have met her
ihope to meet her in another life
This blog is obviously designed to elicit a response. Insult a former celebrity and watch the fireworks erupt in the comments section. I was actually surprised how young Kristy looked in recent photos. Anyone who watched TV in 70’s will recognize her from the numerous roles she played. She’s always had a wholesome look and image. Not a bad actress either.
Absolutely agree 100% managed To Obtain both Kristy and Jiimmys Autograph
“Signed photo” “mega scarce” Also “family” Series 1 “vols 1+2” on German Import
“check amazon.uk”, Barry J “Gravesend Kent.GB.UK”
If she is so obscure and pathetic, what does that make you, writing about her? Maybe it’s just a nasty title to draw attention in the Google search. I clicked on the link simply to point out how nasty the title is and how unnecessary. I didn’t bother reading the article.
Hardly obscure
You’re an idiot and a lousy critic. Nuff said.
What’s your fucking problem? Learn some tact and learn how to write.
This stupid idiot is a pain in the butt! Kristy is a fantastic person who cares about our planet! This stupid idiot is a lousy critic! We must protect our planet! Let our powers combine!
Does anyone Know What Kristys Doing at The Moment,Plus If anybody out there Got The
Boigraphy I Wrote,”Took Me nearly two Years Plus to Do/Never Completed and Almost
Drove Me Nuts In The Process” Please Leave a Reply.

KRISTY MCNICHOL IS TEACHING ACTING CLASSES AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN LOS ANGELES! SHE IS NOW 58 YEARS OLD! I HOPE SHE RETURNS TO ACTING AND PRODUCING BUT I DOUBT SHE EVER WILL! SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN HER LIFE! BUT KRISTY IS STRONG! STRONGER THAN ANYBODY ON THE PLANET CAN IMAGINE!
I am angry at the stupid idiot who wrote that stupid crap about Kristy McNicho: Kristy can’t help the wa6 she is! Kristy came from a broken home, never had a childhood, never went to school, and she never went to the prom! Kristy was very angry at not being able to experience none of that stuff! She has lost so much and so many people who Kristy loved! She has bipolar disorder! For you to say all this stupid crap about Kristy McNicho is arogant pompous and rude! You go crawl in a stupid hole and quit writing false rumors about Kristy McNicho! Kristy has her fans to protect her! And one final word of warning: do not-I repeat do not underestimate Kristy McNicho:1 If we could we would let Kristy Know what you are saying about Kristy! Kristy gets angry very easy and she is full of fire when she is mad!
AND ANOTHER THING
KRISTY MCNICHOL HAD TO ASSUME REAL RESPONSABILITIES AT A YOUNG AGE! THAT IN A NUTSHELL IS WHAT CAUSED KRISTY MCNICHOL TO REBEL AT A YOUNG AGE! SHE WAS ANGRY ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS FORCED ON HER! YES! SHE BROKE DOWN AND CRIED! SHE JUST COULDN’T HANDLE THE PRESSURES OF THE EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN THAT CAUSED KRISTY TO HAVE MOOD SWINGS! I AM GUILTY OF HAVING MOOD SWINGS MYSELF BUT KRISTY HAS BIPOLAR AFFECTIVE DISORDER! THAT CAUSES MOOD SWINGS THAT CAN BE PREVENTED BY MEDS AND PATIENCE! YOU ARE ENTITTLED TO YOUR OPINIONS SIR! BUT REMEMBER WE ARE ALL HUMAN! WE ALL HAVE MOOD SWINGS SOMETIMES! IN CONCLUSION I AM A HUGE KRISTY MCNICHOL FAN! SHE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY!
And here is something else to think about: Kristy McNichol pursued a dream to produce movies. She had several setbacks, but nothing could stop Kristy McNichol. In 1993, Kristy became executive producer of the movie: “Mother of the Bride.” She fullfilled her dream to produce a movie before she retired from acting permanently in 2001. She is 558 years old.
Kristy McNichol is 58 years old (not 558 years old!) I said 558 years old last night. My mistake. Anyways, she never had any training and she could do anything as a kid. Growing up is hard when you have to assume responsibilities at a young age. And Kristy McNichol did have to assume responsibilities at a young age at home. She has been angry a few times about assuming responsibilities at home as an 11 year old kid. But Kristy suffered financially as an adult. Her mother blew Kristy’s money on the IRS and Kristy was extremely furious when she learned the way her mother blew Kristy’s money on the IRS. Kristy was angry about losing her money because of her mother. But Kristy is very close to her mother. Kristy forgave her mother because Kristy loves her family. Kristy McNichol is retired and all those reports about Kristy McNichol being broke are false.
KRISTY MCNICHOL IS GREAT! I THINK IT TAKES COURAGE TO ADMIT HER ANGER ABOUT MISSING HER CHILDHOOD! SHE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME A A KID BECAUSE SHE HAD TO BE RESPONSIBLE AT HOME AT AGE 11. THEN I THINK ABOUT HOW MANY KIDS LIKE KRISTY MCNICHOL HAD TO BE RESPONSIBLE AT HOME! IT IS EMOTIONAL FOR ANY KID TO GO THROUGH THE DUTIES OF BEING RESPONSIBLE AT HOME AT AGE 11! BUT KRISTY MCNICHOL HAD EXPERIENCE AND IT REALLY HURT KRISTY EMOTIONALLY BECAUSE SHE HAD TO CHILDHOOD! KRISTY BECAME ANGRY ABOUT NOT HAVING A CHILDHOOD BUT SHE HAS SAID THAT IT STILL ANGERS HER BUT KRISTY IS STILL RESPONSIBLE AT AGE 58 YEARS OLD!
I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE LOVED THE CAST AND CREW OF “FAMILY”! KRISTY IN TURN WAS LOVED BY THE CAST AND CREW OF “FAMILY”! THEY ALL WENT THROUGH ALOT TOGETHER ON THE SHOW! KRISTY WAS ALWAYS EXPERIENCED IN PILOTING A GOLF CART ON THE SET! SHE ENJOYED THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING! KRISTY ALSO GOT HER OWN DRIVERS LICENSE AND HER VERY OWN CAR AT AGE 16. AS BUDDY KRISTY LOVED TO DRIVE CARS ON “FAMILY”! SHE SAID THAT SHE ENJOYED DRIVING CARS ON “FAMILY”! KRISTY IS VERY CLEVER IN THE THINGS SHE DOES! AND KRISTY MCNICHOL GETS ANGRY WHEN SHE LEARNS ANIMALS ARE BEING MISTREATED! SHE LOVES ANIMALS AND SHE RESCUES ALOT OF ANIMALS! SHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD!
I HAVE SOMETHING GREAT TO SAY ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! WHEN SHE JOINED “FAMILY” IN 1976, THE CAST AND CREW LOVED KRISTY MCNICHOL! KRISTY IN TURN LOVED THE CAST AND CREW OF “FAMILY”! THE SHOW CENTERED ON REAL-LIFE ISSUES THAT GOES ON IN REAL-LIFE! IT DEALT WITH SEX RELIGION AND DEATH! BUT BUDDY (PLAYED BY KRISTY MCNICHOL) WAS DEPRESSED WHEN HER CLASSMATE COMMITRED SUICIDE AFTER LOSING A HISTORY COMPETITION TO BUDDY! BUDDY LEFT SCHOOL UPSET AND RETURNED HOME UPSET ABOUT THE GIRL’S SUICIDE! BUDDY CRIED WHEN SHE TOLD KATE WHAT HAPPENED AND KATE KNEW BUDDY WAS ACTING STRANGE WHEN BUDDY TURNED AROUND WITH TEARS IN BUDDY’S EYES! I TOO LOST A CLASSMATE WHEN HE COMMITRED SUICIDE IN 1984! I WAS DEPRESSED FOR MONTHS! BUT IF IT WEREN’T FOR MY PARENTS OR MY SISTERS I WOULD NEVER HAVE RECOVERED! BUDDY WENT TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY BUT SHE WAS SO UPSET THAT SHE DITCHED HER CLASSES! BUDDY EVEN QUIT THE COMPETITION AND STORMED OUT OF SCHOOL ANGRY AT HERSELF! BUT BUDDY WINS THE COMPETITION AGIAN AND EATS COOKIES!
I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THIS ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE IS AMAZING! KRISTY MCNICHOL IS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO PEOPLE TURN TO WHEN THEY HAVE DEPRESSED MOODS! KRISTY HELPS PEOPLE WHO HAVE DEPRESSION! CARRIE FISHER AND PATTY DUKE HAD DEPRESSION WHEN THEY WERE BOTH ALIVE! BUT LIKE KRISTY THEY PERSERVERED! IT IS GREAT THAT KRISTY IS ALIVE AND DOING GREAT! THIS IS MY LAST NIGHT WRITING ON THIS STUPID BLOG! I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO PUT KRISTY MCNICHOL DOWN LIKE A STUPID DOG! IT IS DISGUSTING THAT ANYBODY WOULD WRITE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT KRISTY MCNICHOL! FOR ME I WANT KRISTY MCNICHOL TO LIVE HER LIFE TO THE FULLEST & TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF!
KRISTY MCNICHOL IS A FABULOUS PERSON! I FIRST HEARD ABOUT KRISTY WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN! I WAS A YOUNG ADULT WHEN I HEARD ABOUT KRISTY! KRISTY MCNICHOL SUFFERED EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWNS IN HER LIFE! SHE PURSUED A DREDAM TO PRODUCE MOVIES BUT SUFFERED EMOTIONAL SETBACKS AS A YOUNG ABOUT! BUT NOTHING COULD STOP KRISTY MCNICHOL! SHE BECAME A PRODUCER IN 1993! KRISTY RETIRED PERMENANTLY FROM ACTING IN 2001!
KrKRISTY MCNICHOL IS A GREAT PERSON WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT OUR PLANET! SHE HELPED HER BROTHER HOST & PRODUCE PLANET VIEW! PLANET VIEW IS A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT PROBLEMS FACING OUR PLANET! I AM GOING TO HELP PROTECT OUR PLANET! WE MUST ALL DO OUR PART TO PROTECT OUR PLANET! WE MUST ALL FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE! OUR PLANET IS FACING DANGER FROM GLOBAL WARMING! LET OUR POWERS COMBINE!
