Maureen McCormick published a book ten years ago and during her publicity tour implied that she and Eve Plumb were attracted to each other and had a relationship. Eve was infuriated that she would lie about their friendship to sell a book and has had nothing to do with her since. Re: Eight is Enough/Betty Buckley: Ralph Senesky, who directed a few episodes of The Waltons (including “The Pony Cart”) has an excellent blog that is worth googling. He has wonderful stories about the shows he directed. One of the “Waltons” producers replied to one of Ralph’s posts about that EIE: “Betty Buckley got the job, not known for her friendliness. On one episode which Harry Harris was directing they got into a little disagreement on how to play a scene and Betty jumped into nearby swimming pool thereby ruining her hair, makeup and wardrobe. Harry came to our set (“You won’t believe what she’s done now.”) and settled down with a cup of coffee while Ms. Buckley dried off.” Wow! |

Well, I didn’t hear anything negative about Betty. Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormick’s feud has put a hold on any other further Brady reunions, How long does this feud go back? Both of them were together in the studio here: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqi9lpjmDbU but maybe this was before some of the rancour? I also noticed Melissa Sue Anderson/Melissa Gilbert/Alison Arngrim all together on a reunion too, and there is bad feeling there too. Maybe money overcomes these problems. LOL. Both Alison Arngrim and Melissa Gilbert have said that Melissa Sue Anderson was a snob on the set. If it was just one saying that I might be inclined to doubt it but two saying it it makes you wonder. |

I had never heard that Betty was difficult, but I wasn't really a "Eight Is Enough" fan, so I wouldn't have. I guess that Betty needed to cool off before filming her next scene. Haha. She is currently starring in the national tour of "Hello Dolly."

Just to muddy up the waters here a little bit --- because I'm not totally sure about John Boy's college accomplishment either. A thought ----- Remembering the episode concerning John Boy trying for the television teaching job, how could he even apply for a professorship at Boatwright without a degree? I'm not really understanding your question.... Was it an actual professorship he was applying for ? Did he need to be a professor for that tv teaching job? -- that doesn't usually happen early in one's teaching career... more likely, he was applying to be an instructor... At my college (Vassar), there were quite a few instructors, usually teaching quite specific courses, who were not professors. Generally speaking, a student hardly ever got to work with a full professor until a Senior, maybe a Junior. And, I don't think my uncle, who taught math at Alfred University was ever a full professor.... had his Masters, but no PhD (which is usually required). I suppose different fields have different requirements.... |

I think most people would put on a public happy face... if they care at all about their careers. There are so many stories out of "Hollywood" about folks who couldn't stand each other but managed to work together, not necessarily for the money, but for the opportunity to ply their trade.... Yet. some "slip" and show a lack of maturity in their inability to control themselves. |

For me Richard Thomas will always be John Boy, I have seen glimpses of him in other films but it just doesn't feel right some how, sorry😕. I seem to recall in an interview he said that 'Goodnight John Boy' would probably be on his grave stone? 🌸 Interesting you say that, because Larry Hagman will always be Major Tony Nelson.. No matter what projects he did since then, it just didn't feel right. He was already type-cast in my mind. To me Larry Hagman will always be associated with J. R. Ewing from Dallas. |
