Kristy McNichol 1984 interview on 'Just the Way You Are' film role

[@joninatividad7865]

I love kristy.. God bless you. I miss you. You are a very good actor.. Hope you do movie again.. 😘

[@adamfindlay7091]

I met her. She's as classy cute and gracious as her famous persona. She deserves respect/ her privacy and healthy life.

[@SANDRAMARTINEZ-in7qv]

Kristy has always been one of my favorite actresses. Such a cutie. I love her in Family and all her movies. ❤️

[@rickjag4928]

Discovered the tv show 'Family" right here on KZbin, a couple of months ago. I'd always been aware of Ms. McNichol, but had no idea what a talented and captivating actress she really was, and at such a young age. It's kind of weird, personally, to feel something for someone I've never met or known. But, I do wish her the best for whatever troubles she's suffered. And I'll extend a prayer to anyone else out there in need of peace and comfort. May you all find it.

Rewatching Family now..trip back in history ❤

[@amomswish1]

Love this! Happy that she discovered a life outside Hollywood front and center. The child actors of the 70s and 80s were so loved by so many.

[@JeffreyHauser]

What a wonderful lady. Life is more than acquiring money & fame. Finding out who you are & striving to find peace & happiness are more important than the trappings of Hollywood. ❤🙏

[@dungeonsdumbbells]

Problem is most people don't reach this level of enlightenment until many lost years have past, there's a reason stories tell of an old wise man on a mountain people seek out. When one gets time to reflect with introspection, learn to just understand stand that life is one breath to the next & all that has come before or lay ahead is just a thought or collection of many. Important is better late than never one learns to live aware yet unmoved by distortions made by surroundings or others there to distract if one allows them to.

[@eleanorvassallo2481]

In the end success in life isn't about making money-it's about who you love and if you are loved, that's it-then your gone...Good for her!!!

[@leannesmith5818]

I love this chick, it's a shame her career was cut short, hope she's all good and life is good for her

[@Jayce_Alexander]

She's awesome. When she was on Empty Nest she became 13-year old me's very first crush. Such a talented actress, could do any genre. Yeah it's a terrible shame she had to quit at such a young age, but I am proud of her for prioritizing her mental health. God bless Kristy.

[@elbandito5411]

Her career wasn't cut short. She acted for a good long time since she was very young. It was just time to live a normal private life.

[@TheLadyLeprechaun]

The ending music is so beautiful yet sad. I’ve watched Just the Way You Are hundred times , I just can’t get over it. Thank you for uploading this video.

[@TVCrewGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gertiegert3910]

Bipolar disorder is so difficult. Especially in that time. Love her..

[@mynorvargas8628]

Great interview, Kristy McNichol beautiful for ever. Very smart, etc. God bless her, amen.

[@blackjakko]

Very intelligent and talented person. Can't imagine what a total gong show was going on behind the scenes in entertainment business in LA with drugs, sexual harassment, pedophiles, pressure of all kinds to go along to get along. Fame for a child is just bad. So glad she took herself out of that toxic industry. I hope she is happy and healthy ❤. She was a great actress and influenced me as a younger girl for which I am grateful.

[@nspector]

Great comment. Thank you.

[@XxowendanxX]

Plus she was living in a fishbowl

[@celestialstarseed111]

Kristy is my favorite actress. When people make rude or inconsiderate comments they are simply ignorant and lacking in compassion. People who make these comments should just be ignored because they usually are looking for validation and attention for their ignorance.

[@XxowendanxX]

I love her so much!! She is the greatest!

[@billhosko7723]

You, might follow your own words.

[@CarolTewksbury]

This movie, despite her personal pain, turned out so wonderfully! I hope she found her peace.

As a teenager in the 80"s I had a crush on her 😍

[@windwhisprz]

She is the best!

[@michellerene951]

Kristy was my idol in the 70s and 80s. I got into acting because of her. Very underrated actress. I wish she was still getting roles. I miss her.

[@kennethwayne6857]

I wish she was still playing roles too, but then I realize that's a selfish wish. She's in a happy place now (hopefully), and if I really care about her, I've got to be happy for her. At least there's documentation of her past that we can go back to.

[@trubenstudios4063]

I had such a crush on her growing up.

[@nspector]

Gosh I love her

[@cidamaria3369]

Adoro essa atriz, está fazendo falta. ❤

[@butchmccain1771]

My childhood crush. I loved her performance in "Little Darlings" especially that surprising beginning scene when she kicks a guy in the nuts (balls.) Best surprising opening scene and coming-of-age movie ever. She really is so super cute, beautiful and such a terrific actress!

[@kellyanndean9374]

I was waiting on kristy to come out with a country album,sad she never got her chance!

A truly entertaining film, very unique...the scenes filmed a year later fit together smoothly....This film and Only When I Laugh probably capture Kristy at her best....i have a video about her career on my channel: Down Pepper Tree Lane

pořád stejně krásná jako z filmu Little Darlings

[@rodneysexton1034]

What caused Kristy to have an emotional breakdown?

[@XxowendanxX]

You'd have a mental breakdown too if you had Willie for a brother

[@bailarcoruna9546]

Kristy did not have a chemical imbalance.; she was molested by the producer and was horrified, and so shocked by what happened that called all her acting career and the industry into question, lost her self confidence but was never supported. Despite what happened to her some bozo even thought it would be good if she had a masseuse on set for this film; it just made it worse. We all lost a potentially great actress because someone couldn't keep their hands to themselves.

Never did get a straight answer about Kristy McNichol today or in the 80s

[@pepper1188]

She looked alot like my brother, very tomboy..great actress, too bad she stopped. Loved her on Family.

[@c.s.5770]

She has this Janet Jackson sort of look

[@TheWilder30]

Damn she does.

[@XxowendanxX]

With slightly less funk

[@suchWASi]

Sure, but I think Prince started that look.

[@XxowendanxX]

Actually if you listen to her sing Hold On she has a Janet Jackson sort of voice, too.

[@bmm7132]

Thank you but the volume needs to be raised.

[@thehapagirl92]

Bipolar disorder wasn’t understood

[@nspector]

Well, it was as much as it can be. But it wasn't discussed openly like now. That's why she's talking about things people can understand and accept -- the effects of the business. But, of course, that was not the whole story.

I have never heard this. Although, I am not surprised one bit. Do you have a link you can post to a video or article?

[@randylove]

I loved her since family and watched up into a beautiful woman .I went to see her at an autograph show her brother was there and I had to talk to him the polite thing to do .I wanted to talk to her I bought a pic of her and she said I have a message to u on ur pic it said she liked my eyes .I wish I took her out but I hear she is gay well maybe I can change her mind lol

[@TheEarlymtv]

shes at her hottest here..

[@RonMeece]

she didn't want people to know she was gay. thats alot of pressure.

[@lindak990]

I knew she was gay the first episode of Family

[@lapalabraencapsulas]

She decided to go to homosexuality. There's still time to repent.

[@mimat1427]

Does your religion teach anything about being judgmental, bigoted, or casting stones? Why don’t you worry about yourself and your own repentance.

[@cidamaria3369]

Bulshit, religious ppl 🤮

[@markboyce6950]

Homosexuality is natural love. God is an invention of humans to enslave and control.

[@pete25901]

get a real job....you cant take a paid year off

[@brendapodell3633]

Another non-compassionate person. First of all, actors/actresses do not get paid when they are not working. They get paid when the movie has been completed. She was ill. Have you never been ill or known anyone else who was ill? If not, you are one lucky individual...so far. If/when you ever get ill & are unable to work or know someone who has become too work, maybe then your attitude would be different. In the meantime, have some compassion for those who have not been as lucky as you.

[@wisdomseeker3362]

@@brendapodell3633 The world is full of people like the above commenter. Lack of compassion or understanding. Kristy was a very busy actress starting from a very young age and was in commercials before her busy career. My goodness, if anyone needed rest at that time, it was surely her, right? Thank you for your kind comment.
