The Waltons - Hal Williams - behind the scenes with Judy Norton

[@JRIJR75]

Sad to hear that Lynn Hamilton is dealing with dementia. This is why these videos are so important - keeping an oral history of people sharing their own stories while they are with us. Thank you for another great segment!

[@harveybeute799]

Thank you for letting these older actors speak while they are still with us.

Hal is an absolute legend. How wonderful to see him looking and sounding as young as ever. A real pioneer in the industry and he deserves so much respect and praise. Hope to see him in more roles for years to come.

[@LisaLisa-2023]

Hi Shyman, your comments are always on the mark.🤩 Hal Williams is iconic ⭐ I had forgotten how many roles he played. I also remember him fondly and comically on 227- which always cracked me up. and The Waltons usually made me cry.

[@MP-lq3xx]

Respect to both of you! Thank you..

[@judynorton2598]

Well said. He really is a gem.

Hal was such a versatile actor. He went from the drama of the Waltons to the comedy of Sanford and Son. Same with Lynn Hamilton. Great interview Judy.

My favorite episode Mr Williams was in was when Verdi found the medallion which belonged to one of her ancestors who was a slave. I like the episode because everyones acting was top notch and the storyline was compelling. I'm still happy Verdi found the important answer she was looking for.

It was my pleasure to get to catch up with Hal.

[@markgordon5387]

I look at Hal Williams, and I realize how long it's been since I saw the show during its first run. All the stars on The Walton's bring back dear, treasured childhood memories. Most of the shows we loved. But some hit too close to home. Like the death and stroke of Grandpa and Grandma. Those were sad episodes for our family. We hated seeing them, but on DVDs, we watched them. They brought back memories of our Grandpa and Grandma. I know I can't, but I thank Earl Hamner, Jr. from the bottom of my heart for a show that evokes childhood memories and memories of our beloved, dear family. We watched The Walton's faithfully during its first run. I was 3 years old during the first season. I'm 55 now. You don't know how I treasure each minute of watching these reunion and memory online shows. Thank you. It's two simple words, and they don't express my gratitude, but you get the idea.

[@LisaLisa-2023]

There isn't one episode when I wasn't moved. Almost every episode is relatable and relevant no matter where you are. It's amazing how much weight those two simple words carry, Mark. And I know so many of us feel the same. I do. Thank you, Judy. 🥲

[@markgordon5387]

​@@LisaLisa-2023Thanks for saying. At least I'm not alone.

Nice to meet you Hal Williams. You are another part of the epic Walton's experience now getting your recognition thanks to Judy. These visits or fireside chats with friends and guests stars as I call , them are a exciting piece to the story weather its directly concerning the Waltons or other aspects of their careers and time in Hollywood. I made a new magic of Hollywood friend here today. Its the rewards of living a long life when bringing up subjects like the Waltons to a generation that wasn't born yet. Their response is no I'v never heard of it. My answer to that is, if you like the Hallmark channel you'll love the Waltons. Iv been with you since the Homecoming, and then reconnecting again during COVID watching the daily broadcast on MeTV. It was like seeing the episodes for the first time, now it's from a mid Sixtys year old perspective. A whole different emotional experience, and appreciation. Nowadays I Make sure im here twice a week, its as gratifying as watching the episodes when they first aired. Always something new to hear. Its your Judy Norton variety channel evolving with the times. Giving the special guest stars a platform to share their story is just one part of what makes this behind the scenes, ask Judy production of yours so enjoyable and appreciated. Just a friendly reminder your doing a great job. Thanks again for a look behind the house as you remembered it. I can see it now ! : )

@Judy Norton you may find this difficult to believe, but I have never seen The Waltons. I am 63 years old and I never got to watch the Waltons growing up because I had to go to church every Thursday night. Every. Thursday. Night. For decades! It is only now that I am retired, and at home during the day that I have begun watching this gem of a TV program on the Hallmark Family channel. For a couple of hours each afternoon, you and your “brothers and sisters” provide me peace and respite from this weary world. Thank you for this gift! P.S. I found a new church, too!

It's funny that he was on so many shows that were airing at the same time, but his characters were so different - I never focused on it being the same actor...of course I was a kid.

Dear Judy, It's great to see you and Hal Williams. I think my favorite episode to feature Verdie and Harley would be "The Family Tree" from 1978. It provides a good chance to look at life through the lenses provided by Verdie and Harley. That episode really shows their strength when they have to endure things no one should have to face.

[@LisaLisa-2023]

@@froggy821 Dearest Froggie! 🐸❤💚 I agree, Even tho Summer is warming globally, I still prefer it over blizzards/Winters. I get melancholic as soon as August ends. And it will be almost a YEAR since Judy first mentioned the Festival in Kentucky last Fall 2023. That's when we met Froggie! Fond moments for sure ❤ We finally completed the FAFSA forms but Jon will not attend until the winter/spring semester. Froggie, parenting seems harder as your children grow into adulthood? You're such a young hands-on Grandmother moreover, you and Mr. Froggie have raised 2 wonderful responsible daughters. Parenting is still very daunting to me through each phase of our children's lives. I thought it would get easier as they grew up instead it feels harder Froggie. I can't imagine being Earl Hamner's Mom or Olivia Walton. I'm not tough like them, and Grandma Esther! They have 7x the worry. That's one big reason I watch The Waltons, I have stolen some of their teaching moments (lines) and used them on Jon! 🤩😁 Froggie, it is always so good to see a glimpse or more of you here. ❤💚

[@froggy821]

Lisa Lisa, what I’ve found with parenting is that it’s all just trade offs. When they’re infants you give them a bottle, then you trade off the time consumption of bottle feeding for the mess of food in a high chair. Then the trade off of carrying them till they walk but then they fall and cry all the time. So in my head its all trade offs. Even now with grandchildren. My relationship with my children is still just a bunch of trade offs. When one hard chapter closes and you think it’s all going to be easier…….nope, another hard chapter opens. All you can do is hope you find your footing before it hurts too much. Find the good in the moment. Like watching Judy, the Waltons and talking to Walton friends,(like you) it’s a bonus to life. I wish they would have a get together somewhere in between and us possibly both be able to get there so we could meet. 🐸

[@LisaLisa-2023]

@@froggy821 Dear Froggie 🐸❤ I really appreciate your experience/insight. The whole process is still daunting. It's the worrying, that never ends. 😧 and the tradeoffs as you mentioned, are endless too! The Waltons have honestly helped me cope as you noted because the era might be different, but the concern and Love are the same. You've raised children and helped to raise grandchildren. Froggie, that's like a whole new world for me to think about- if Father time allows. I'm just keeping my faith that Jon will start and complete college. 😁😁 Froggie💚❤ If I ever get a chance to meet you😍 and Judy and some cool folks here, I would probably be beaming with Joy and tears!

So happy you were able to Hal on your show! He's one of the great ones

[@judynorton2598]

Thanks for joining us. Yes - sad Lynn isn’t doing well.

Wow, he's not afraid to express himself! That's good. He's honest, & to the point! That's good too. He also has a wonderful sense of humor Judy . I bet he wishes he could do it all again! He's interesting, he's sweet. Honestly I don't remember him on the Waltons, only on Sanford & Son, he was a gas. The love of God shines out in him. He is amazing such a good memory too. Interesting man, fun to listen to all his stories. God Bless you both ..

Judy, this is just tremendous! Mr Williams, thank you for your story about Earl Hammer asking you for story issues! I can just see that! I appreciate your kind words about Lynn Hamilton too. I'm sorry to hear her health is not good. I've mentioned before here I admire her way of speaking. I had the chance to meet Ms Hamilton at Walton's Mountain Museum and she is a very lovely and gracious person! I loved your storylines on The Walton's. I'm just a little younger than you, but you are so right about the generation gap among some today! Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with Judy and us fans! The apple picking episode is one of my top ten favorites and The Best Christmas is one of my top five favorites! That frozen pond water rescue scene looked so very real I worried everyone would have frostbite !! I admired your work in Roots also. I don't think I recognized you and Lynn Hamilton in Sanford and Son since the characters and costumes were contemporary. You have a lot of fans out here, not only in the U S but abroad as well! Thank you, again, Judy for sharing more of the goodness of The Walton's and all who created such wonderful stories! Bless Walton's everywhere!❤
