If you love Westerns & our channel, you can show your support with a Super Thanks! 🤠
Veronica Cartwright is such a good actress. From childhood to adult. I watch everything she is in.
I could listen to Darby and Veronica for hours with their stories.
Fascinating interview. I just thought that she grew out of the part of "Jemima". Patricia Blair was so gorgeous. How silly of her to worry about a teen like Veronica. Having read the real history of Daniel Boone, the real Jemima got married young and moved on, so I didn't think much of her leaving. Thanks Rob.
Shes still so gracious
Another great interview with Veronica and Darby
A fabulous interview ! What a great career Veronica had over so many genres. A talented actress. Loved Darby's helicopter story.
Wonderful interview! Darby and Veronica are so great together in this interview; they need to do more interviews together. I didn't say "GREAT interview". because all your interviews are GREAT. SO just keep on "keeping on", Mr. Word and do NOT change a thing. Thank you for all the wonderful interviews you have given us.
Like many young boys during the 60s I had a huge crush on both Cartwright girls! Nice to hear Veronica is just lovely and sweet in real life! What a beautiful and talented lady!
I was just a young kid when I first saw Daniel Boone. And the first time I saw the character Jemima I fell in love with her. But I think I also fell in love with Angela Cartwright when she was on the Danny Thomas Show. And I also watched The Sound of Music I loved her in that one as well. There's just something about the Cartwright girls that turns a young man's eyes
Veronica Cartwright was my favorite 60s teen actress.
I never made the connection between Angela and Veronica Cartwright until much later. I remembered seeing Angela when she was on Make Room for Daddy. It was either Daddy or Danny but it was the Danny Thomas show. I watched Daniel Boone every week and remembered Darby Hinton as a very small boy. Watching these kids grow up before my eyes was amazing. It also makes me feel very old, LOL.
So glad to hear her say that about my favorite director Hitchcock. Her sister's co-star in LIS Billy Mumy says disparaging things because he had a bad experience, but I always think of him as that bratty kid in The Twilight Zone anyway. Veronica always did wonderful work, she was superb at highly strung characters and break-down scenes, like Children's Hour, The Birds, Alien, Witches of Eastwick, Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake, Inserts. Terrific actress. Critics singled her out for special praise. Always a favorite of mine. She deserved a much bigger career.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Fess Parker, DB and his son at his vineyard in Paso Robles a few times. Such a sweet and gentle man.
Great to see Veronica! Enjoying her stories. Nice to see she's doing great.
I've had a crush on Veronica my entire life! I really got a kick from her description of Daniel Boone unfolding himself from a Porsche! Thank you *so* much for this interview, Rob. And thank you Veronica.
I ❤ you! 🥰
Veronica AND Angela, my childhood fantasy was to somehow live next door to the Cartwright family. I fit right between them in age... and my dreams. Both were wonderful actresses too. I LOVED Veronica in Alien... "I know that" classic!
As a kid in the 60's I had a huge crush on both her and her sister Angela who was on Lost in Space.
Very nice interview, nice to see Veronica
She has really had a fantastic career. Look at her resume!!! Thank you Veronica!!
Veronica and Darby mesh together very well! Thanks Rob, for the wonderful interview.
I always liked Veronica on that show! Great actress on other shows too. Like her sister Angela.
The bird scenes, especially the beginning’s,of the bird attack as seen from above with a “bird’s eye” view of the action. Some of Hitchcock’s settings are indelibly etched into our minds. People loved the TV Waltons but they watered it down and made it so sugary sweet it made you want to gag at times. Thanks for some more fun back stories, Rob. These “girls” has been in our lives for decades.
Our entire family quit watching when she left the Daniel Boone show, no one knew why she left but the show wasn't the same. Thank God Veronica explained what happened. I never cared for Patricia Blair after I found out what happened, Patricia should have been very ashamed for doing this.
A self-important Hollywood actress? Shame?
Surely you jest!
DB was best its first two seasons. It really holds up as historic fiction in the 1st season where things are gritty and the stories were elaborations on real life frontier events in the mid 1770s.
By season three it became fantasy adventure with travels from Detroit to Florida and New Orleans...comedy sidekicks, Rosie Greer and Jimmy Dean....conquistadors, Indian princesses, Prince of France....more like Zorro, Robin Hood and the 3 Musketeers TV shows.
Fun for kids but they lost the adult audience completely by 1967.
@@jca4la I would imagine if this was known on Patricia at the time it happened, her career would have faltered big time.
@docbrown6550 zero social media, studio minders + a compliant press corp created many opportunities to hide embarrassing details.
It's a completely different world now.
Maybe Pat Blair should have left...so unfar
Another great interview. Bringing back childhood memories. I was born in 1950. So why does Veronica look so much younger? Oh it must be the lighting!😎
That’s what andy grif said
Absolutely love those two! Such a treat to see them together and to hear their stories! Thank you!❤
Glad you enjoyed it, Mary. Thanks
She appeared on Leave it to Beaver a few times, mostly as Violet Rutherford.
That series never gets old.
Never knew she was Violet? Wow!
Lumpys sister.
There was also, apparently another Rutherford sibling, never seen, though.
Great interview with two really nice people. Thanks, Rob, for keeping the old west movies and shows alive!
I'm a fan of Veronica's. I always enjoyed watching her on Leave it to Beaver and her movies.
Ms. Cartwright is a living Hollywood legend. She should have won best supporting actress for her incredible performance as Felicia Alden in The Witches Of Eastwick in 1987.
Thank you so much for this great memory lane tales. Loved the photo of you singing with Angela. You have this sort of "I don't wanna beee heeeree" look. Thank you so much for this one. Take Care...
I met Veronica at the Memphis Film Festival in 2012, a lovely lady and very friendly with fans. For many years she gave other reasons for her leaving Daniel Boone until someone who knew the truth asked her about it. She wasn't going to "dish the dirt" on her co-star.
Fantastic interview! They play back-to-back Daniel Boone episodes on my cable service Sunday mornings. She was also great in her adult roles like Alien and Inserts. No one could make a terrified face better than her.
Wonderful interview. Love this ladies acting.
My favorite interviews have to be the ones of the child actors of that era. Im more or less their age and really connected with them
I had forgotten that Veronica had acted in "Alien." Such an amazing film. Thank you, Rob. Darby is so jovial and pleasant.
I realize now that with her hair cropped short and colored red, Veronica was given an air of coldness about her character.
She also played Gus Grissom's wife in The Right Stuff.
I didn't know about all the other things she did and I sure as hell didn't know her sister was the Angela Cartwright from Lost in Space.
itis such a joy to see Donna again
She and I go back a long way together and she's still so beautiful and charming and enjoyed the Hopalong Cassidy..
I also had a lovely conversation with Gracie at a festival..Still so charming and beautiful...and she missed him very much
Enjoyed the whole evening Rob
.Keep this going..loved it and love you 😊
I saw Grace years ago..Don't know if she's still with us
I love Darby Hinton! He actually commented on a post of mines on Facebook !🎞 I love. Veronica. Cartwright too she sure was on. Leave it to. Beaver !❤🎞
the Cartwright sisters had wildly successful careers, unlike many child actors who are dropped when they reach their teens
I knew Darby because of Don Collier. Always such an upbeat guy to be around and no Hollywood ego. 🤠
Great interview, Rob......it's fun to hear the "behind the scene" stories....and ...it's fun finding out how many famous movies Veronica was actually in, too....!!
She seems like a very nice lady. Very nice to hear from her.
What a treat I adore her!
What a great interview! Had no idea how extensive Veronica's career was. Great to watch!
I have followed the Cartwright sisters, Angela and Veronica, for a long time. I was waiting for this interview for a while. I missed Jemima when she disappeared from "Daniel Boone." I thought that they should have her married and with the start of a family. Sorry to hear that Patricia Blair did that, but I wonder why Fess Parker didn't do something. It was nice to see her and Darby together again. I was a little disappointed that "The Right Stuff" role wasn't mentioned (or was that Angela). 😊👍👍
Yes, I believe it was Veronica. I enjoyed her roll in The Witches of Eastwick, that poor lady!
🤢 🍒 🫢
What a great surprise for Darby to come out and be with her. So glad to see Veronica, she been in so many wonderful films!
Thank you, Rob, so much fun today!!!
👍👍
Thank you Mr Word!
She learned at an early age that acting is reacting, no?
Thanks again!
Thank you for this one especially Rob, I found out a couple of years ago that Patricia was the cause of her leaving, but there are lots of people that never knew it. Veronica is an awesome lady and did not deserve what Patricia had done. 👍👍🙏🙏
No she didnt
My parents were fans of Veronica, when she started missing from the show, they basically quit watching DB, along with the rest of us. It was a mystery to our parents and the rest of us why she went missing.
They could have said she went to school in the East because after all Daniel Boone was an educated man so I think that could have been believable. You know it's not easy to get jobs in Hollywood and for Patricia Blair to do that to her was very Egocentric kudos To Veronica Cartwright for having a great career wonder if Patricia Blair ever felt jealous of her success Because after Daniel Boone Patricia Blair faded off to never neverland . Which couldn't have happen to a nicer person
@@pepperandzip You are correct, they could have taken another route to explain it, I am so glad Veronica had a great career after that, and as you said, Pat faded into the path she made for herself, Thank the good Lord for that.
So great to see these two together again! I never realized that she went on to work so much. I never recognized her in Alien. Thanks again Rob❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!, Richard. Thanks
Awesome interview. Daniel Boone was one of my favorite shows growing up in the’60’s. Thanx for the memories…. And the behind the scenes antics!👍🇺🇸❤️
What a fantastic interview of Ms. Cartwright. Her career straddled the Old Hollywood and New Hollywood.
What a great show...loved it. Think I'll watch it again.
Veronica is a Treasure !
Enjoyed this one! Thanks, Rob!
Really great to see Darby and Veronica together again. I have always said Veronica was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, a real beauty ❤ Great video Rob 👍
As a kid we never thought of these western stars as having lives off the set. You always knew in your heart that guys like Fess Parker were special and were guys we should copy as role models. Many of the theme songs still play in our minds; now, decades later, the stories that are most cherished are the back stories we never heard until your interviews, Rob. Semper fi -Still wearing the Ranger’s moccasins
@@alananderson5929 I agree 100% every time we lose one of our childhood heroes it like a part of us dies and we genuinely feel the loss. Thankfully we have the reruns and I never get tired of watching them. A quick shout out to Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels of The Lone Ranger. Two of the absolute most decent characters ever portrayed on television and in real life. Still watching them to this day. Every time I watch these old shows it’s like visiting with dear old friends. Keep the memories alive my friend 👍
Loved the interview
veronica has aged well.
Except for the fact that she now has way too much gray.
That just tells me that she is not vain.@@user-wi6sh6vh8u
Veronica is part of my favorite movie ending of all time: Phil Kaufman’s ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. Thank you for a great career Veronica
I loved Veronica in Alien, Inserts (excellent and brave performance), Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Witches of Eastwick, etc. Very good interview. I could listen to her stories all day.
Great interview again Rob very entertaining watching Darby and Veronica get together. Veronica is a great actress memorable in so many roles invasion of the body snatchers remake and I feel her best performance Inserts with Richard Dreyfuss she played a 1920s actress she should of at least got a nomination for that.
really cheerful group.
I've always enjoyed The Birds, but I was a fan of the Daniel Boone show because my ancestors followed Daniel Boone into the Eastern Kentucky area through the Cumberland Gap. I've watched both Cartwright sisters in several projects. It felt so familiar to see them, like the sisters that might live down the street. Very relatable.
But thank you so much, Darby, for mentioning A MINOR CONSIDERATION. The work done by its membership is always behind the scenes, but effective and deserving of all the contributions people can send them. Paul (Petersen) never forgets my birthday, and even though I was just a stage actress, he offered to help me while I was homeless. Fortunately I was able to get housing on my own--well, truth be told it was a miracle of God--and Paul was among the first to congratulate me. I pray for him and Rana every night. When the movie, Elvis, came out, Austin's manager contacted me (I think she might have been related to Frank McGrath of WAGON TRAIN) because I had posted something about his demeanor on the red carpet that raised some concern. I mentioned A MINOR CONSIDERATION, knowing he had been a former child star--well, she wanted me to forward Paul's contact information, and with his permission, I did--but Paul was already on the case. He's so dedicated to the work of helping former child performers. Tom Hanks was already involved as well, helping Austin preserve his mental health. Paul needs more helpers. So if any of you former child performers out there are interested, please reach out to Paul or Darby or Alison Arngrim or any of the people involved in this worthy service organization--if you can't do the leg work, perhaps you can pull out your wallets and credit cards to help.
Thanks for sharing, Kyrila.
Such great memories of these classic movies especially Spencer’s Mountain. Great episode Rob ❤
Super thanks! DB was one of my favorites. Had a big crush on Veronica and her sister Angela.
Glad you enjoyed it
I had huge crushes on Veronica and Angela when I was a kid.
I'm a huge western fan. I literally go 2 sleep each nite w/the rifleman w/Chuck Connors playing!! I simply won't watch the filth thats put out these days!!
Always loved Daniel Boone, very happy 2 hear he was the man in real life he portrayed on screen!! Jemima was 1 of my favorites as well as Darby Hinton!! I loved her on screen mom, but now that I know why Jemima just disappeared from the show, I'm very disappointed. To think , you barely a teenager could lose a job over a grown woman's jealous pettiness.
I've heard that Disney blacklisted Fess Parker & this turned me sour on Disney!
Anyway, thank you both for hrs of pleasure watching your show, it's a way to escape the craziness of the modern day world we all share!! I still watch all seasons every few mos. Much love to you both!! ❤❤😊
Watching from Anchorage, ALASKA! 🙂
Thanks, Debbie. Stay warm!
Great interview! I love Veronica. I always wondered why Jemima left and was never even mentioned again.❤
My hero and childhood Role Model Darrrrrrby! Was amazed to be part of The Marshall with him, Johnny Crawford, Don Collier, and more. 👋👍👍 10🤠
Great interview and great memories of a great series, as you said Daniel Boone is on to this day.
SUCH GREAT VISIT TO THEM TOGETHER & HER THEIR STORIES OF THE DANIEL BOONE SHOW THEY ENJOYED TELLING US STORIES OF THEIR CAREERS & ASSOCIATES,,I STILL WATCH THE DANIEL BOONE SHOW, ON INSP NETWORK,,GOD BLESS ALL THE CHILDREN ACTORS!!!!👍👍👍👍🐿🐿🐿🐿🌹🌹🌹👄👄👄💜💜💜🙌🙌🙌🙌
VERONIC CARTWRIGHT when it comes to acting was in the proverbial "right place-at-the-right time" for sure!
Transcending a chid acting career into an adult, and to appear in so many iconic movies... well, thats the aim of any actor, and to be still be working and sort out at age 75 -good on her!
How many child actors since have gone on to life-long careers, I can't think of many, can you?
Thanks again Rob.
Very nice to see those two I remember them in the old movie wonderful memories. Luv the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my favorite interviews of yours, Rob. So informative and appreciated the photos throughout the interview.
Such a great interview. You've outdone yourself this time. I enjoyed watching Daniel Boone with my dad all those years ago. Thanks so much.❤🤠
Loveg Veronica & Darby. Good interview.
Lovely interview. I'll have to watch The Children's Hour. Looks interesting. Thanks!
Wow! that was great! beautiful!
Great interview love these old classics venagar syndrome is releasing going south on 4k
Terrific interview.
Enjoyed again, Rob, Thanks for sharing
Very good interview, I grew up watching them.
What an amazing talent. So fun to hear and see this trip down memory lane with Veronica Cartwright.
Delightful interview, Rob. I, like many others, had a major crush on the Cartwright sisters. Veronica was so good in Alien, receiving a Saturn Award for best supporting actress, but was also worthy of an Oscar consideration IMO
Didn't know this, thanks for sharing
No problem, Jerry. Thanks
Great interview Rob! Keep them coming!
Really good one, RW...and thanks for running the Hopalong movies
My fav Cartwright!
That was fun, Rob... Thanks
Russ
Another Great show‼️👍💯🤠
Much appreciated, Vince. Thanks
Great video on a very great series. Thanks
Thanks!
Another great interview 👏
It's good to finally know what happened to Jemima Boone. So glad I found this channel.
We are glad you found us, too, sue. Hope you find our other episodes interesting as well. Thanks for the comment. Rob
Wow when I was a kid when I was watching Daniel Boone I thought her character was married off even though that we didn't see too much of Daniel Boone but the parents had control the TV back then so that's what happened that's crazy
Most of us imagined she married Jericho Jones and moved away, since this was a frontier show.
It is odd the writers didn't hang a lantern on it in Season 3 with a letter or conversation...but sometimes when an actor leaves they don't mention them again.
Eugene Barkley was like that after Season 1. The actor got drafted so he was written out. College was the excuse as he came back for one episode about anthrax, bringing a professor with a Pasteur inoculation....but after that the show pretended he NEVER EXISTED.
Same with Stephen Douglas's oldest son Mike and Chuck Cunningham.
Wow like who would have who would have thought it you know it got me thinking there was another show but it's not a western that I watched and loved very much and I recall when I was a kid I was waiting for another season and I can't wait 2 years but you didn't hear nothing and you didn't see nothing that show was the Green Hornet but what I found out years later that was a whole nother story
I’ve heard the old actors adage “Never work with animals or children”, but that’s both ridiculous and mean to do to a teenager. Funny that I never put the two sisters together as being related. Very cool video Ward!
Thank you for another great episode. It's always a pleasure to see the survivors of favorite shows. I'll bet both Darby and Veronica were a hoot to do a show with. Darby sounds like a great cut-up. I sure wish that Yadkin ( Albert Salmi) were also still here. I don't get impressed with actors so easily anymore, but he reminds me of the Steve McQueen types, who're naturally great actors, and who really know how to use props to make better scenes. I never knew that Veronica was in Alien? I'm not much into modern horror, but that movie was gripping. I was once given a choice to watch Alien or The Big Red One. Guess which I watched ;-)) Sam Fuller won that choice.
"Spencer's Mountain" and "The Homecoming" were two different literary families with different names....but both were compilations of his short story journals of Hamner's boyhood.
One novel took the name of his maternal grandparents. One took the family name of his father's mother's line. The Baldwins were inspired by his elegant once wealthy aunts (mother's side) he boarded with in Richmond during college before the war. They weren't bootleggers.
Hamner didn't like Spencer's Mountain as he said the people in the movie were too glamorous and Hollywood as was the setting (it was also filmed contemporary and not a period piece). Therefore HE controlled The Waltons with Lorimar to cast people that really looked the part of his real life family and capture the poverty.
nicely done my friend.
Thank you kindly
The last group shot includes regular cast member Albert Salmi. I would have liked to hear what they had to say about him.
Albert Salmi and his wife, Roberta, were found dead in their home in 1990.
OMG! I didn’t realize that Lambert was Veronica
I grew up walking distance to the Pico studio. 23:30
At my junior high school, the girl I liked asked the new student, Billy Mumy what was his favorite tv show. He said, Star Trek.. I thought, traitor. I'm glad he didn't point his finger at me, saying that I was a bad boy. A very very bad boy. At Halloween time, I knocked on this one door. William Shatner opened the door, saying I was too old and it was too late. I still haven't decided what trick to do.
A handful of years later, Being a student at Santa Monica College, we hosted a party. Mr. Spock's daughter came to our party. Her ears were normal.
Living by the studios, so many characters seem to step out of my tv set.
Even the TV set itself... In the early 60s, I was with my dad when we bought the set. The shop was on Pico Blvd... The shop owner, Victor Mature, the actor who played Samson.
