Seeing that Sears commercial makes me sad. I remember when I was a child my FAVORITE thing was when the Sears Christmas Wishbook came out. I would look and look. I looked at every page (even if it was not something I really would want). Kids today will never know the joy of looking at a Sears Christmas Catalog. Sad.

[@jdsundstrom]

You and me both. The day the catalog showed up in my house was ALMOST as good as Christmas!

[@bluebonnet1014]

Yes! If I could go back I would in a heartbeat.

[@petej.8676]

My dad worked for Sears and he'd get the Wishbook before it was sent out to the public.When he brought it home we made sure we were on our best behavior that night....lol! Great memories!

[@kenfrievalt7826]

Sounds exactly like what happened to Amanda Bynes. Adult onset Schizophrenia is pretty common. Amanda had a huge career with many TV and movie credits, then she fell into this inescapable void which she has never returned from.

[@jdsundstrom]

You’re right. It seems like Amanda has really struggled over the past decade or so. Thanks for all your support!

[@jeannehall6546]

The same with Jake Lloyd, who, as a kid, played Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace”.

[@TheCrazyMoparDude68]

No, it is t very common at all, unless you think that less than 1% is common. It is estimated that 0.25-0.64% of the population suffer from schizophrenia. The fact that it is not a common mental illness is the reason why there is so little research being done on it. There has been a slight increase in cases that are believed to be related to the use of marijuana. Yes, marijuana is a dangerous drug that can cause physical and mental harm to a person. The biggest problem with those that have schizophrenia is that they don’t keep up with their treatment(s). When they are well medicated and have things under control, they believe that they are ok and don’t need to take their meds or see their doctors. That leads to them spiraling out of control again. Those that suffer from it need a really good support group to make sure they are following their treatments. It is important that their family and friends check on them, and do it multiple times a week if not daily. It is too bad that mental health issues don’t get the same attention that very treatable things, like breast cancer does. All of the money that has gone into breast cancer awareness would probably find a cure for many mental health issues.

Another actress who suffered with mental illness and dropped out after two huge movies, animal House, and Caddyshack, is now almost never seen and reclusive. She was the one in animal House, who played the mayors daughter, and the one in Caddyshack with the Irish accent, who is the girlfriend of the caddy.

Dave, as you know Tom Bosley wasn't in the Happy Days backdoor pilot on Love♥ American Style. It was actor Harold Gould as Howard Cunningham. 🤗📺📼👍

[@tomodonovan5931]

I'm trying to remember the cartoon that featured Tom Bosley who voiced the father of a character. There was a neighbor who was afraid of commies. I don't remember if this was on Love American Style or another program. There was a hippie son, like Meathead on All in the Family. A daughter who wore glasses, and a mom. I'm pretty sure Bosley voiced the character. I think the neighbor who was always afraid of commies was the actor who play Warren in Andy Griffith. One of the duos of Burns and Shriver. Maybe Burns and Shriver should have done a pilot show. They were a good team for comedy.

[@jdsundstrom]

It was called "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home".

Speaking about “happy days” one of the early recurring characters was Hee Haw regular Misty Rowe as one of the bellhops at Arnold’s! Hopefully you will do an episode once on that show. I don’t know if you ever particularly liked The Comedy and Music series.

Thanks for doing this one. She has been a favorite of mine for sometime. Kathy didn’t do much film or TV work, but what she did do was oh so very memorable! What a stunningly beautiful woman, truly breathtaking. And super talented as well! I have the book about her life and it is highly recommended. As a child she was one of the dancers on The Banana Splits. Also briefly appeared in Kojak and Sarah T. Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic with Linda Blair! I’ve even seen the rare Bronk episode Kathy appeared in. Finally, Texas Detour is a great 70’s film which stars Priscilla Barnes from Three’s Company fame! May this beautiful woman Rest in Peace, she is not forgotten!!

[@bonusbaby801]

On the TV Guide cover, Kathy O'Dare kinda looks like Megyn Price from Grounded For Life & Rules Of Engagement. Very pretty. You know, speaking of Happy Days...The term "Jump the shark" is used to indicate when a show has crossed the line of desperation & is doomed for cancelation. It comes from the Happy Days season 5 three-parter "Hollywood" where Fonzi is dared to jump a shark while on waterskis. Funny thing about that...Despite "Jumping the shark" being considered the kiss of death...HAPPY DAYS RAN FOR 6 MORE SUCCESSFUL SEASONS AFTER THE "JUMP THE SHARK" EPISODE😂

[@jdsundstrom]

While "Happy Days" did run for many more seasons, I do think it was the "kiss of death" in terms of quality and continuity.

[@jehobden]

The other girl who appeared on her BRADY BUNCH episode, Denise Nickerson, who'd been a regular on DARK SHADOWS & was Violet Beauregarde in "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", also died too young at 62. She'd be a great video subject if she hasn't been already.

[@jdsundstrom]

Great suggestion! I'll add her to my potential topics list.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

Kathy was the goofy girl, who was Marsha's friend from school, who had trouble pronouncing, 'Seattle'😆. I can see why, she was in only, one episode. No shocker there🤔!!! Speaking of mental diversion; you went from her, to 'Happy Days'??? Why didn't you just stay, with your original subject???

[@garyreid2178]

I remember Eat My Dust. It was the first time I ever saw Ron Howard outside of The Andy Griffith Show. I remember Dave Madden(Reuben from The Partridge Family)was in the film. Eat My Dust was part of a double feature. Grizzly was the second film that played after Eat My Dust. I enjoyed the movie. Great tribute song to Chuck Cunningham. I think the reason why she wasn’t on for the long run was because Richie was to be the nerdy boy next door who was unlucky in finding a girlfriend(I can relate). If she was Richie’s girlfriend, Arthur(Fonzie) Fonzarelli would just be a character who just acts tough. Not as a best friend or big brother that we all know and love. I can’t say it was a good call or a bad call. It just seemed like an inevitability that the decision to make Richie a socially awkward guy than have him have a girlfriend. Mental illness is no joke. For one’s mind to be held prisoner to illusion, delusion and paranoia is frightening.

[@jdsundstrom]

Thanks so much for sharing, Gary. And...I totally agree. We need to take mental illness more seriously in this country.

[@bluejem1315]

She was a beautiful woman , I hope she is at peace now .

[@bevgreen8165]

Christopher Norris would probably be a good story, but who's the girl on the hood? Anyway, you wrote the lyrics and AI wrote the music? What program did you use? I've fooled around with pics on AI sites, but didn't know you could create music.

Correct. The lyrics are mine...but everything else was created by AI. It's all done on this site: www.udio.com

Well I guess it's safe to say it wasn't because of an issue with Ron Howard that caused her to be bumped from Happy Days, unlike Pinky.

So many stories like this. All of them worthy of note. From initial casting, to re-tooling tv shows, contractual disputes, to substance abuse and/or mental illness. I'm reminded of Sarah Holcomb who was in animal House and Caddyshack. There is also Amanda Walsh as Katie, the original love interest in The Big Bang Theory. Ellen Muth from Delores Claiborne and Dead Like Me. Julie McCullough on Growing Pains. Lisa Robin Kelly from That 70's Show. Jennifer Lien from Star Trek: Voyager. I'm not sure if it's just my POV but I can come up with a lot of instances of female actors but not as many instances of male actors but it does, of course happen on both sides. Oh wait, Jason Mewes, Jeremy & Jason London... just popped into my head. Of course there is the slew of child actors struggles. Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood walks this fine line. They even did a movie called Stateside, roughly based on Sarah Holcomb's experience. I'm very sorry to hear about Kathy O'Dare's experience. I don't like the idea of forgetting the good with the bad and I appreciate your pointing out these stories. Making the cover of Tv Guide back then was a very big deal. Being cast in a primetime show then was a very big deal. Flashes of brilliance and disappointments- very human condition type stuff. Some of it also comes down to dumb luck. Zigging where you should have zagged. Right place, right time. Nepotism. Egotism. I have my own stories about working in Hollywood, stories I observed first hand, and those I heard about but never really reached the news.

[@jdsundstrom]

Thanks so much for sharing, Sean. I know you've got a ton of stories that would interest our community here on KZbin. If you ever want to join me on a video to share a few...I would be elated. I truly appreciate all your support, my friend.

There's this one episode of Bonanza where Adam Cartwright discovers his lifelong best friend (whose wedding he was best man in) has become mentally ill, and has no choice but to hunt down and kill him. Joan Crawford appeared on an episode of The Virginian as a newly married woman who's struggled with mental illness following her first husband's death. While I'm on this subject - and this might surprise you, Dave - a few years ago I wrote a fan fiction story using the characters from Petticoat Junction. In the story, Steve Elliot and Orrin Pike are out turkey hunting days before Thanksgiving when someone shows up and gets the drop on them. That person turns out to be an old "friend" (I'm using quotations here) of Steve's from the Air Force, who showed up in one episode attempting to hit on the Bradley sisters. Once his friend, still in full Air Force uniform, gets the drop on he and Orrin, Steve, fearing for the safety of the sisters (including Betty Jo), has no choice but to kill his friend, thus saving Orrin’s life.

Really good video of a sad story. Curious about some of those other movies that she was in, they have interesting titles. Before your video ended I was thinking of Chuck and saw he was born in Ireland and had the same last name as another actor named O'Herlihy. Sure enough I just looked it up and discovered that Chuck-1's real life father is Dan O'Herlihy who is well known as the old man in charge of OCP in RoboCop as well as the villain in Halloween 3 and then of course he's also Grig in The Last Starfighter. When I saw the actor's name I wondered if they were related plus seeing that Gavin was born in Ireland, it seemed even more possible. A lot of times I've noticed that when looking up actors if you see someone with the same last name oftentimes they're related. I guess since they try not to repeat names in Hollywood it makes it easier to find connections. Looking forward to your wonderful world of Chucks video. I guess you could call it the Happy Days multiverse.
