More Walton Actors Seen

[flossieskid]

It was nice to see the discussion of other “Traceys” or “Tracys”. Don’t see many with that name any more.

I saw a recent rerun of “Kojak” which co-starred John Ritter, my Mom and a wonderful character actress named Ruth McDevitt. I think I mentioned on a previous post that my Mom had all her scenes with John, but when I saw Ruth, I wondered if she was ever on The Waltons? I’ll have to do my research on that!

But, talk about a small word: I have shared that I use to work for Kevin Dobson, as a personal assistant. His two major roles were as the right hand detective to Telly Savalas on “Kojak” and as Mac, one of the main stars of “Knot’s Landing.” Kevin sadly died in 2020.

My Mom and Kevin didn’t have any scenes together on “Kojak” and I never remembered my Mom was even on that show, so I never brought it up to Kevin when I worked with him. I became close with Susan, Kevin’s wife and this week I received a residual for Kojak for a humongous $1.13! I sent Susan a screenshot, saying I’m sure Kevin’s residuals were much higher! She replied she often gets them for under a dollar! I sure hope all the remaining Walton actors have much bigger checks from their time on such a great show!

Nice to "see" you again, Tracey! I've missed your posts. 💗
