Ugly Details That Still Trouble Lauren Chapin to This Day

- Did you know that Lauren Chapin did drugs with Elvis Presley and slept with one of his friends and that the former child star became a prostitute during the darkest years of her life? Lauren Chapin didn’t want to be a star but was pushed into show business by her alcoholic mother. Or, more accurately, Lauren’s mother pushed her older brother into show business and the producers simply took more of an interest in the boy’s sister. While Billy Chapin would appear in the cult classic film The Night of the Hunter during his childhood, his younger sister would receive a star-making role in one of the 1950s ’ biggest sitcoms. That sitcom, of course, was Father Knows Best, and the role that Lauren received was one of the most popular in the whole show.

On Father Knows Best, Lauren Chapin played the character of Kathy “Kitten” Anderson. Kitten was the youngest member of the family that the show revolved around, and she became one of the audience’s favorite parts of the series early on. Despite the fact that the audience loved Kitten, Lauren found herself having a hard time finding work after the series, which had launched in 1954, came to an end in 1960. She would end up hitting rock bottom when she became a prostitute to fuel her rampant addiction to illicit substances.
While Lauren’s role on Father Knows Best made it seem like the actress’s childhood was picture perfect, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Both of her parents were abusive in different ways. Join Facts Verse as we explore ugly details that still trouble Lauren Chapin to this day.

Why, so you can show the wrong person's picture? Very reliable.
I would like to know why you show a photo of Kristie McNicole (from Eight Is Enough) at time stamp 4:16,
while talking about Lauren Chapin?
@@MrCarp2 lol
Just a note! One image around 4:17 is actually Kristy McNichol. I knew Chapin had it rough from 90s appearances on former child stars but didn't know it was that bad!
Yes it is.
I noticed that too!
Yes it was jarring to see Kristy Mcnichol portrayed as Lauren.
I too thought that was Kristy McNichol.
One of the pictures was of Christi McNichol.
The most shocking part of this story is when you showed Kristy McNicol's photo instead of Lauren Chapin's.
Lol...where did they do that at?
I've seen a biography of LC that had much more accurate details, I'm surprised you didn't include them. Combined with the stories here that can't be verified and the misattributed pictures, your site should be called "Facts Averse".
@@Hooligan71 @4:14
AGREED WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING KRISTY McNICOL'S PHOTO?
I noticed it too before I saw your comment. That was a HUGE error, makes me question the validity of the rest of the post. 😮
It's sad to know how Lauren's mother sued her for the money that she'd earned and won it's really not fair.
Yeah I really feel sorry for Lauren
@@angelaholmes8888 :Me too!
What !!! Should of been hers at 18 ..
I thought the “Jackie Coogan law” was in effect by then so how did her mother get her money?
@@franny5059 The same way Britney's father did.
Lauren Chapin is a courageous lady. From child star to the drugs, troubles, and hardships. She's a true survivor.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
The most shocking part to me is you neglected to mention that Elenor Donahue was a married lady when she became pregnant. Billy Gray sued Lenoard Maltin (and won) over his portrait of Gray as a "drug crazed teen". Makes me wonder how much more of your "Facts" are sensationalized.
Can't tell it by today, but people got married back then. Gray made headlines when he said he hated the show because it wasn't real life. He said it was fake. What he couldn't realize was that people wanted to see something better than their real lives.
@Bill Holzer Yep! This guy should fix this video, photo of Kristy McNichols taken out, facts on Donahue, don't these people realize fans know everything about these actors and will call them out on mistakes? Sheeze... 🙄
@Bill Holzer Later appearing on The Andy Griffith Show, Donahue was one of the few television stars to successfully navigate from juvenile to adult roles.
This doesn't surprise me. Years ago, I read an article where Lauren opened up and talked about her nightmarish life as a child star and young adult. I'm glad she's happy and okay now. Sadly, you can probably find many tragic, heartbreaking stories of child stars similar to Lauren's. The blame completely falls on the parents. Good upbringing is so important.
Was just awful , she was repeatedly molested and RAPED .......this really screws someone's mind ...
She's been through slot but l didn't know some of this described here ----; like prostitution??? Her mom had nerve to sue her .... ..???? Wth ?? Im glad she recovered and went on to better life ....
Hollywood thrives on--even recruits--kids that come from abusive homes. And then they further mess the kids up. Macaulay Culkin talked about being abt 10 yrs old and a producer/director/studio bigwig called him in to see him. Dude had a crackpipe laying on his crotch, making suggestions to Mac what he should do, sexually. A ten yr old child. These ppl are sick and twisted. It is called HOLLYWOOD for a reason: this self-styled magical place was named for the Holly that magic wands are made from. It has ALWAYS been a foul place where dirty deeds are done without conscience and there are "fixers" to make sure nothing impedes evil from being thinly veiled as entertainment.
That is why they made the Jackie Coogan Law.... to protect children in the entertainment business......
Ironically, the cast of The Donna Reed Show were all close & remained so long after the series ended. The four met once a month for lunch, until the passing of the 'father', Carl Betz. After an interval of mourning, the three remaining friends got in touch & agreed that he would have wanted them to go on. They did so, even after Donna Reed died. Today, Paul Petersen & Shelley Fabares consider themselves to really be brother & sister, & those lunches continue! 👦🏻👩🏼🙎♂️🙎🏻♀️
I didn't know that! Thanks for a much needed upbeat fact.
Donna Reed and Shelley fabares really did look like mother and daughter. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Paul Petersen started an organization to help kid actors. He has devoted his whole life to it. The most famous kid actor to have a hard time was Jay North. He went nuts for a time. Unlike other tv family shows where all the family carried the show, North carried the whole show on his shoulders, and it drove him buggy.
@@janusloggins876
I find the story enormously touching. If only all the television 'families' could have been like that. Spencer Tracy & Elizabeth Taylor played father & daughter in Father of the Bride, & they bonded so well that she called him 'Pops' (her name for him in the film) for the rest of his life. And Mary Badham, who played Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, remained friends with Gregory Peck, her screen father, for the rest of his life. She had no father in real life, & she says that it would have been impossible for her to call him Mr. Peck, because she had known him so long; but she also couldn't call him Greg, because he had been like a father to her since her childhood. So she just called him Atticus, as she did in the movie. ❤
@@MrCarp2
What a fine human being. As an insider, I guess he would have known that not all the juvenile performers were as happy as he & Shelley were. Kudos to him for doing something about it! 👏
The takeaway from this cautionary tale, is that with the Lord anything is possible. His redeeming love and light, drive away all darkness.
So very true! He is The Redeemer.
How dare the judge award the mother Lauren’s hard earned money after she turned 18… her parents clearly didn’t deserve their children
It's not fair that Lauren's abusive mother got a chance to squander Lauren's money. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Yeah I'm appalled that a judge made that decision
The judge was probably bought.
@@miapdx503 these days it seems like they all are 😐
Sadly the most shocking part of this story is no longer shocking. Overbearing parents using their children as pawns to line their pockets with money earned by their kids. I didn't know about the sexual abuse. That will destroy your soul, but glad she survived it.
Always the case with child actors, the parents rip their kids off, there are many cases of that as the law allows the parent power of attorney over them
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@ROCKIN-AL I am not agreeing with stealing from your child, but I can see how it might happen. I would imagine it would be difficult to hold down a regular job while taking your kids to their acting jobs and auditions. Plus, if the parents are struggling financially that would be an odd dynamic to raise a child television star in. They probably dipped into the money to support the child and the rest of the family rather than setting up a formal agreement for management fees. I heard one child actor say that once fees and taxes were taken from their paycheck they received a very small percentage of money. If the parent is on set and managing their child’s career and day to day activities they probably should be paid. Part of a parent’s role could be to oversee and manage their child’s finances to ensure that child will have financial stability as an adult.
Just a thought, but speaking of overbearing parents, Michael Jackson's so-called father fits the description of an overbearing father. Although his life ended sadly, at least he told about the abuse in his later years.
So horrible ppl. Do this to kids , esp. Sexual abuse !!! Yes, it destroys a person'ssoul , their self esteem , self worth , ect
Such lowlife s. ..
.
Lauren and I have the same childhood. I remember watching Father Knows Best as a little girl and recognizing her nervous, tense, on edge anxiety. Especially the scenes when she had to "act" very upset and crying. I could see the abuse through the acting. Survivors can feel it 😔
Same here. An abused child can recognize another abused child. Glad she is doing well nowadays.
AHH...I. DO NOT KNOW HOW ANY HUMAN BEING CAN SURVIVE. SUCH A LIFE? HOW? I HAVE NO MORE TO SAY!
😢 OH MY GOD. WHAT IS WORSE IS: THEY MADE A HUGE ERROR PUTTING THE WRONG PICTURE VIA..KRISTY MICNICOLE. LIFE IS MISERABLE!😂😂 JOANNE DE'MORNAY.
I don't understand she does all the work on the show and they give her mother who mistreated her didn't care for her didn't protect her from her father all the money she earned well I'm happy she found God and was able to at least have a little bit of peace in her life sorry for what she went through she was adorable on the show.
It is amazing that through all the bitterness and bad experiences in childhood and her early adulthood she came out on the other side with purpose in life.
I had no idea so it was all a surprise to me. Imagine going through all that and being able to play the part she played perfectly. What an excellent actress even as a child.
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Lauren Chapin! What other types of video would you like to see?
Lauren was a great child actress on Father Knows Best. It was a wonderful show. Lauren overcome her struggles and became a strong woman.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse 🍀🇺🇸
Can you tell us when Lauren Chapin's parents died, and did she inherit any of the money her mother had been allowed to steal from her?
So glad she has God and a relationship with Jesus..
Hm? Makes you wonder how accurate this story really is when Kristy McNichol is portrayed (pictured) as Lauren Chapin in this video, eh?
I noticed Kristy McNichol's photo, too. I was listening for and was expecting a segueway that would explain the reason for the KM photo, but none was given, so I laughed when I realized they mistook her for Lauren Chapin. Whoops! I'm sure others must have mentioned this gaf before us. I guess it must be too difficult for them to edit the KM photo out of the video. 😂 Definitely a quality control mistake which leads to doubts about the accuracy of these bio's.
At 4:19 the picture is of Kristy McNichol....
I had the privilege of meeting Lauren Chapin, and Billy Gray, January 12th and 13th, 2013. Both of them are very nice. On January 13th it was Billy's birthday, I was able to share some birthday cake with Billy, Jon Provost, his wife Laurie Jacobson, and Tony Dow. Thank you Laurie for the invite. Great memories!
We're happy to know that you had a chance to meet Lauren Chapin and Billy Gray, and have a nice time with them! Thank you for sharing your life story. Be safe and have a great day 💕
Such a wonderful experience, Joseph. So glad you had met them and that Laurie had invited you. What a great privilege!
Recently Tony Dow announced he has cancer. Hoping this awful way to pass is not what he leaves as his legacy.
@@texasmimi5566 No! A legacy is not what he'd leave behind when it comes to sickness. We remember him for so much more.
@@texasmimi5566, Yes, I know, Very sad.
All of it is shocking but not surprising. A horrific childhood that WAY too many kids have experienced, and it hasn't changed much today. Textbook example of how poorly the USA treats kids and how SO many parents should NOT raise kids. Glad to hear she is doing better.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
So true in all that !!!! And more needs to be done to protect kids !!!
I'm shocked, I had no idea she experienced so much trauma in her life. So happy she rose above it all and most importantly found Christ! He is the best healer of all.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU FINDING CHRIST IN A TERRIBLE SITUATION IS GREAT, CAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS EARTH BETTER THAN CHRIST AMEN.
Awesome that she found healing through her faith in Christ!
Why would you use a pic of Kristy McNichol?
Elinor Donahue was married when she got pregnant during hiatus. Women get pregnant. Lauren got pregnant by twice by a person/persons NOT married to. Need to redo this
The one who played Bud on father knows best wasn't on drugs you make him sound worse than he is. He just said in between shooting he would wonder off and smoke a joint. He's a very nice guy. The only odd thing about 1950s sitcoms is the father seemed old enough that he should have been playing the role of the grandfather rather than the father.
I AM TOTALLY AGHAST! Whilst I had no knowledge about Lauren's home life, I am shocked and dismayed to hear the Robert Young, an actor whom I looked up to was a drunkard. I am delighted that Lauren overcame her woes, and turned to GOD; who will set things right in the end. Lauren and I are of the same age. I loved her performance in Father Knows Best; in fact I loved that show and I cannot tell you how deeply distressed I feel that this show and Hollywood are nothing more than an evil scene; the devil's playground. Keep safe Lauren. God Bless you!
I didn't know that Robert Young was an alcoholic. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful message for Lauren Chapin! Be safe too and have a great day 👍
@@FactsVerse Thank you for your kind comments. Cases such as this poor lady eats at the very fabric of my soul. I learned about the horrors of Hollywood many years ago, after reading the sad story of Billy Grey whom I loved in the earlier films. Billy had a wonderful talent as a comedian but his Hollywood lifestyle saw the end of that. This is why I discarded my TV set (I haven't watched TV in over 10 years) I do not go to the cinema (The lest time I went to the pictures was in 2000), and I find places like Hollywood nothing more that a Recruiting Office for Lucifer and his vile angles. I shall offer up my daily Prayers from now on for Lauren and other abused children like her. God Bless!
Everyone has their demons. Robert Young was a person, not some image he portrayed in movies and tv. His personal problems in no way diminishes his acting talent. Love people for who they are, flaws and all.
@@harperstacey9604 I had forgotten. yeah, he WAS....
None of it is really shocking to me. I am just so thankful that she found her life with Jesus and is free of all the evil she went through. God bless her.
My word she had it all in her Young Life. And she could not get much help from her Working Family. Jane who played her Mother was the only one without issues. Why could she not go to her for help? Poor thing!!! She was Blessed to be able to turn her life around in her later yrs. God Bless Her and May she continue to do well.
We all have issues
I don't think she could have talked to her about that. Those things were never spoken about. What went on behind closed doors wasn't to be shared. I'm a 70s kid and it was still that way, but I know a lot more so in the 50s for sure. I mean in the 80s and 90s even, Nicole Brown Simpson wasn't taken seriously by cops, even with the bruises and him ranting in the background. Sex abuse surely had to be kept hush hush.
In all fairness Elinor Donahue was married when she became pregnant and why are you showing a photo of Kristy McNichol???
This goes to show that what you see on television isn't always what you get. I feel so sad that Lauren had it so rough as a child. No child deserve to be mistreated.
You no child should have to endure that
Wow, her history is horrible and sad. Not to have any love from her family as a child must have been devastating. It's amazing she survived and is now thriving.
I'm from her generation. Nothing shocks me anymore.
This rings of Jay North and the abuses he suffered at the hands of relatives....very sad and tragic....
His problem was that he carried the whole show. Unlike other family shows where all members star, dennis couldn't be replaced. That's a lot of pressure on a kid. No wonder he went nutzo for awhile.
Glad she has turned her life to The Lord! 🥰
I wish I hadn't come across this video, I watch reruns of father knows best everyday, now I will look at it different because I know how bad it was for her, I'm truly shocked, but glad she's ok now... you never know....
SHE WAS USED AS WAY TO MAKE MONEY.SHE had a very bad Childhood
Why are showing Christy Mcnichol
@@tamaramadison7563 Don't know🤔🤔🤔
Fairly traumatic? Understatement of the century!
"Kitten" was her "father's" pet name for her. No one else ever called her that, but called her "Cathy".
The father in the show called her kitten
Why is there a random photo of kristy mcnichol around minute 4??
Whenever I watched “Father Knows Best”. I had a very uneasy feeling and Lauren seem to me in my spirit that she was super sad and something wasn’t right, but I was a kid I didn’t understand what that could be. I’m so glad she’s a Christian and she knows Jesus and that is so great! I think I might’ve picked up on some of it because I experienced a lot of hard Times growing up and it was really difficult.
Just think about how many abused kids watched that show and were jealous of "Cathy's" perfect life...if they only knew.
I'm so glad she overcame and I hope she's happy today...🌹
She came to our church, and prayed with me. She was too busy praying with others to talk to.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this information. We're happy to know that you had a chance to pray with Lauren Chapin. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Too sleepy to think LOL!
I used to watch the show all the time and loved it it is very sad to find out the father(Robert Young) was an alcoholic and to find out all the things that happened to this lovely little girl that I loved so sad but I'm glad that she found the Lord and Regain her life
We're happy to know that you loved the show! Which episode appealed to you the most?
I agree with you. Robert Young was one of my favourite actors.
Heard these alcoholic and not very nice stories of him for years. ...
It's so sad the way she was taken advantage of by those who should've loved her most, but what a great picture of redemption and freedom through Christ. I look forward to meeting her one day. (Jane)
Praise the lord Jesus Lauren is a born from above believer. Reminds me of Todd Bridges who also came to faith out of a life of drugs and is the lone living survivor of the cast of Different Strokes!
The most shocking thing?
How about all of it was shocking.
Woooooow!
I still can't get over Robert Young being an alcoholic. It boggles the mind. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I met Lauren when she spoke at a church in Orange County CA in the early 90’s. She shared her testimony always smiling sharing how God transformed her life how she accepted Christ and forgave her mother and mended her relationship with her brother. After services I purchased her book “Father Does know best” referring to God of course❤️She was such a sweet down to earth lady and greeted everyone warmly! So glad she is still doing well!
Heard she's a nice person , and grateful too
We're happy to know that you had the chance to meet Lauren and had a nice time with her too! Thank you for sharing this. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Can you do the Ghost and Mrs Muir with Hope Lang …Barney Miller… both shoes remind me of my mother when I was young she loved them among MANY OTHERS! ❤️❤️Thx
I read Lauren's biography and her parents were awful people. Considering what she went through in her youth it's remarkable that she survived it. I wish the best for her.
I think her acting skills were underrated. She seemed so genuine on _Father Knows Best_ , like girls I went to school with in the early 60s.
When she got emotional it always seemed so real. I geniunely felt sorry for her when a baby was brought into the house and she got jealous of the attention the baby was getting. Some 30 years later, _Full House_ would do the same story but nowhere near as good.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
4:11 to 4:25 - I don't think that is Lauren Chapin. Looks like Kristy McNichols.
That is Kristy mcnichols
Yes it’s Lauren I grew up w her
It is Kristy McNichol from the show "Family."
@@gloriaharlowdrummondjesusi7306 You gre up with Kristy McNichol??
At 4:14 it looks like Kristy McNichol
None of it was shocking. I grew up in SoCal. The neighbor's son was in LAPD, plus members of my family worked for the Hollywood studios. I heard so much of her and others all of the time. The Studios kept them out of the News when in trouble only to protect the studios, but they cared for the Money makers, present and past, as much as last weeks spoiled Tuna Salad.
I imagine it continues to be a cutthroat business.
It is so sad when the people who are supposed to protect you and be trusted by you abuse you and screw you over. I happy to hear she survived it.
Nailed it! We're happy too to know that Lauren Chapin persevered ❤
Thank God she did !!!
Her childhood...HORRIBLE... Found God, AMAZING GRACE.....
May God bless your life!!! I’m so sorry those things have happened to you!
What a sad story. So horrible that she has such horrible parents. Heartbreaking. I’m glad she’s found some peace now
The mot shocking part is that you featured a photo of Kristy McNichol in the montage thinking it was Lauren!
It really should’ve been mentioned that Elinor Donahue was married to the father of her child when she got pregnant.
Elinor had issues as well. She wanted to be grown up but she really had no idea what that entailed. She decided that getting married and having a baby would make her grown up so she decided to marry the first man who asked her. One of the crew members asked her out. They went to a movie. He leaned over and whispered in her ear “I’d like to marry you someday.” She said “OK.” And they married. Then she became pregnant. But that was a problem on the show because her character was an unmarried teenager and being a pregnant unmarried teenager was a big no-no in the 1950’s. That’s why they had to hide her pregnancy.
After Father Knows Best she played the character of the lady druggist on The Andy Griffith Show. Her character was the love interest of Andy Griffith’s character Sheriff Andy Taylor. That didn’t work out. Those 2 had no chemistry. She was also exhausted from 6 years on Father Knows Best and going straight to The Andy Griffith Show. She had a 3 year contract but asked to be released from it at the end of the first season. She was in the process of divorcing her husband and then she became a single mom of a 3 year old boy. It was just too much for her. She was a talented actress. I don’t think any of the difficulties she was going through hurt her acting ability at all.
That said I did not like Elinor Donahue’s character Betty (Princess) on Father Knows Best. She seemed spoiled or something.
I didn’t like Lauren Chapin’s character Cathy (Kitten) either. She seemed like a brat to me.
The only one on that show that I could stand was the boy Billy Gray’s character Bud.
I have much compassion for Lauren because of her real life difficulties. No child should be treated like that. I’m glad she has been able to overcome her
horrible childhood and that she has found a purpose. I wish her well.
that one photo is not her its Kristy McNichol
I felt so sad and down after I finished her book I knew that was one I would not re-read
Robert young was also depressed his entire life.
It’s been a pleasure to know she has been made hole through our lord bless her heart
Thank you for your beautiful message to Lauren Chapin. Be safe and have a great day 💗
What the hell ? Such a portrayal of a wholesome family and all this crap is going on behind the scenes. How deceiving. Even very disappointed in Elvis through the years.
Hi 👋how are you doing?
You showed a picture of Kristy McNichol when you were talking about Lauren Chapin!
I was mostly shocked that she tried to cut off her arm. Also that the TV family was bad too.
I can't imagine what child stars went through back in those days, knowing about 80's kids.....anything earlier had to be hell. Things REALLY weren't talked about back then
So true.
I watched the show today!!! Now I know more.....and wow! I will never see the show the same.
You're a true fan! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
You’ve got a pic of Kristy McNichol in there.
You have a picture of Kristy mcnickel in here that wasn't the actress on father knows best
she was such a beautiful little girl, never knew how sad she had to go through all this, God Bless you😘
Thank you for your beautiful message to Lauren! Be safe and have a great weekend ❣
I love the Facts Verse videos.
Ms. Chapin's nightmarish but ultimately inspirational story is recounted quite well in one of the best Hollywood autobiographies, "My Father Really Does Know Best," now out of print but still can be located at online used book sellers. It can also be borrowed free of charge as text or audiobook at Internet Archive (an excellent resource for free audiobooks).
She is also featured in one of the best episodes of "The E! True Hollywood Story" but her episode is curiously missing from UA-cam.
Not much shocks me that comes out of the cesspool AKA Hollywierd. It's a shame her Mom was such a lowlife though. I'm very glad she not only survived but appears to be actually thriving.
She'd have to be in her 70's, pushing 80. Not her 50's.
The statement was that by her 50s she found God, not that she was still in her 50s.
I had always heard Robert Young was always having trouble staying sober even while filming these TV programs.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this information. Where have you heard this?
You heard wrong.
I knew about the father's drinking on Father knows Best but not about the sister and the brother wow! Lauren has been through a lot but I'm so glad that she found the Lord and straighten her life out
You put up the wrong photo, that was what's her name.
ELAINE WASHINGTON 🐱🐈
THE SHOW WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH ALL THREE STARS. THE PARENTS WERE
AS POPULAR AS THE KIDS. LAUREN WAS MISERABLE WHILE PLAYING KITTEN.🐱
THE CHILDREN IN T.V AUDIENCE THOUGHT LAUREN WAS THE LUCKEST
GIRL TO BE ON T V. MY HEART ❤ IS FULL OF LOVE FOR THE LORD AND LAUREN
FINDING REFUGE IN HIS STRENGTH !
GOOD GIRL LAUREN .💜
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Can't believe her mother won that case and her money!
Only thing to add, these people are disgusting. Who would let a child suffer like that
So sad how she was betrayed as a child 😢 May she continue in her brave journey.
Very sad beginnings! Glad she found the Light!
all of it was shocking
I was upset to find out that Robert Young was a drunk! I was hoping that he would have been a role model and loving to her since her parents were so abusive. Maybe he was at least nice to her.
He actually was a role model. She spent weekends with him and his family during the show's run. He was the positive father figure that she didn't have.
Why the pic of Kristy McNickel??
The picture at 4:19 is Kristy McNichol, you guys do an amateur job
Shocking part!
Showing Kristy McNichols in Lauren’s place
I am shocked by 2 things -- the fact that her mother got all of her money, and that Robert Young was said to always be drunk. Just can't wrap my head around either of those things.
not sure why you'd feature a photo of the young Kristy McNicol in a feature on Lauren Chapin - lazy or intentional?
Lits of love and prayerssuren...loved "Kit"....🥰🙏
I know that she became a mom at just 16 yrs old. She went through so much. I'm do glad she became a Christian.
Pic at 4:25 is Kristy McNichol
Not enough problems today, have to go back and talk about them. At least they weren’t watched by paranoid parents who make them call every 5 mins., and they damn sure didn't go into schools and blow away children.
It’s what Hollywood does to child stars. How about doing something on Chet Allen, another sad story.
We agree. Thank you for your suggestion! We won't promise you anything but we'll look into Chet Allen ♥
@@FactsVerse Thanks for your response! It will probably be very challenging to dig up a lot of information on Chet Allen. He’s sometimes confused by another actor by that name. Chet took his own life in the 1980s. Thanks again!
I cannot "like" this. The kind of childhood no child should endure
I think that's a picture of Christie McNichols.
greedy parents- ( who are not adults)!
Lauren Chapin had the parents from hell. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Love Father knows best. Lauren was amazing. and so was whole cast.
We're glad to know that you love Father Knows Best. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Shocking to say the least that she owns the rights to the first six seasons of FKB?
I knew Lauren in the 5th grade and I wondered what had happened to her.
JUST Look at all the Killings in The WORLD 🌍 Sooo Very 😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭
