I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before on this board. There was an ABC Afterschool special called My Mother was Never a Kid. It was about a 13-14 year old girl from the 70's that gets knocked out on a subway train. She wakes up to find herself in the 1940's and meets her then teenage mother, who is just as wild and rebellious as she is. Back in her own time, her relationship is strained with her mom because of her behavior. The mom as a girl is played by Rachel Longaker (Aimee Godsey) and as an adult the mom is played by Holland Taylor. She played Janet's Aunt Flo in the Walton's movie where JohnBoy married Janet Gilcrest.
Also, the woman who plays Janet's mother was in the miniseries The Blue and the Gray, about the civil war. Davied W. Harper (Jim-Bob) played her youngest son.

David Huddleston (Sheriff Ep Bridges in the Homecoming & A.J. Covington) and Cleavon Little (Hawthorne Dooley in the Homecoming) were also in "Blazing Saddles" together.
David Huddleston also was on an episode of Bewitched as well as Eric Scott (Ben) just not on the same episode together.
T.K. Carter (Jodie Foster) was on 227 with Hal Williams (who played his Dad Harley Foster).

This isn't exactly a connection between Walton actors but I thought it was interesting. I just read that William Windom who played Charlie Sneed in The Homecoming was a student in Margaret Hamilton's kindergarten class before she turned to acting and became known forThe Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz. Another student of hers who became famous is Jim Backus Mr. Magoo &Thurston Howell on Gilligans Island.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Michael Learned and John Ritter both starred in Scrubs but not in the same episodes. Michael Learned was Mrs Wilks (Patricia) and John Riiter was Sam Dorian JDs father.

There's an episode of "The Invaders" (long-forgotten 1968 sci-fi thing with Roy Thinnes) with both Will Geer (Grandpa) and Mary Jackson (Miss Emily) in it.
The Gary Cooper film "Friendly Persuasion" from 1956 has both Miss Emily and Miss Mamie in it.
The "Wojeck" episode "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" (1968) has Michael Learned in it with her sometime husband, Peter Donat, who was in "The Waltons" episode "The Prize".
Will Geer and Ellen Corby had both been in "The Barefoot Mailman" in 1951 (Corby only in a bit part, though).

I watched "Jeremiah Johnson" again last night, mainly to see Will Geer but also to drool over Redford ..... and noticed that John-Boy's evil-landlord employer (Charles Tyner) was also in the cast ....
