Michael Learned says 'The Waltons' saved her life, calls new film 'Second Acts' a 'gift' Original posted by Fox News here: video.foxnews.com/v/605744275...
Thank you for sharing Michael Learned. You were a very strong and brave Woman. You overcame that place in your life, with truth, grace and beauty.... ❤️
Came here because the Decades channel is running a "Waltons" marathon this weekend. Watching the episode now (The Prize) with her ex-husband, Peter Donat. Was 16 when this aired in 1973. Such a contrast between the values of this show-depicting the values of the 1930's Depression era in a rural area and the social upheaval unfolding in suburban America.
Most people don't know that John and Olivia Walton had a deep love offscreen. They were truly in Love. Once Michael Learned(olivia) said what we saw on screen with them kissing or anything was real love. They tried to make a go of it but they didnt think it would work and hurt the show. Also Olivia was a Massive Alcoholic until 1977. Her and John would go to lunch on set and come back "tipsy" after a few glasses of wine. One day John told her she needed to cut down on her drinking and he was the one to help her. John, (Ralph) had a drinking problem too but nothing as bad as Olivia. This is in a book Michael Learned (olivia Walton wrote. She even took a bottle of whisky in her coat to audition for the role of Olivia... This was a huge surprise to me,...but not the love part. I saw some things kinda (off script) that they left in between them,..a bit too close at times but the alcohol surprised me. I loved them dearly together
God bless her..... You can see her new lenses from cataract surgery flashing from time to time (I have the same thing). Hate to see her, as America's mom growing older - it means we all are. I'll always love her.
She married my half-brother in 1979. He wrote an episode. I was at their wedding and had my first drink at twelve on the double-decker bus on the way to the reception.

This show is saving my mental health in 2020. Still would be nice to have the shows on Netflix. Can you help that happen?
Denise Spurlock I hear that from many people. I will find out, Denise.
You can stream all nine seasons of The Waltons on Amazon Prime Video. So, if you have Amazon Prime you can watch them all for free!
@@gwbaker it’s on the Hallmark channel nightly at 8pm to 1:00 a.m. I love it 🥰
Waltons was a great show. no sexual talk , no nudity. Clean
What's wrong with sexual talk or nudity? As long as it's not gratuitous I'm all for violence, sexual talk, and such things
You're probably American, I suppose.
I love her honesty.
Dang, she's had more work done than my kitchen remodel. Sometimes more is NOT more.
