Does anyone know why Judy Norton become Judy Norton-Taylor? Actually it's the other way around.. During the run of the show, Judy Norton married, and until the end of the series, was billed as Judy Norton-Taylor. In 1979 she made a television movie called Valentine. She continued her role as Mary Ellen Walton, throughout the run of the series, as well as appearing in the special Waltons movies, made after the series ended. During the later Waltons movies, however, she has reverted to using her original name of Judy Norton, having dropped the Taylor partHopefully you'll understand my answer..

That doesn't explain 'Taylor'. When she was married, she was Judy Norton-Apostle. She married Randy Apostle in 1991 and they had one child, son Devin, together before divorcing. Where did the name Taylor come from?

My memory is that Judy Norton got married before the show ended which was when she became Judy Norton-Taylor. Apostle must have been a second marriage.

Tracey,
Thank for the info and the picture. What year was that photo taken? Seems to me that the name change came between seasons 4 and 5, time during 1976. Mr. Taylor's hair style is of that era. Judy would have been about 18 in that year.

In one of her Password appearnces about 1978 or perhaps as late as 1980, she had a very plunging neckline.

If I remember right, Douglas Taylor was the grandson of Harry Carey Jr, who was SIL to Paul Fix. (Part of the John Wayne/John Ford group)

That would make him the grandchild of the announcer of the Cardinals and the Cubs.I was about to put in great grandchild but that would make Harry Carey too old----Holy Cow!
