- I used to know her. Her name was Barbara Susan Pokrass before she changed it for film. It's interesting that she mentions only her sister, Meg, because she also has a sister, Judy (who perhaps has passed away, although she was younger than Sian).
She had a child years ago, who had some kind of developmental disability.
- I thought she was actually married to Richard Thomas for a while. I always thought she seemed odd, but she looks more regular in her pic there. Remember "You'll Like My Mother"?
- First French kiss I ever saw was her and Thomas on "The Waltons." I remember thinking, "Eww... People use their tongues?" (I was six)
She was quite the little hippie girl, the very definition of "ethereal."
- No, she and Richard Thomas were never married. They were a "thing" briefly, but never married.
She used to have this great old Hollywood duplex apartment, very eccentric, like an old gypsy woman's parlor. Hippie girl and ethereal are definitely apt descriptions.
- I just found Dawn Lyn, Dodie from "My Three Sons", and Leif Garrett's sister.

- "J.D. Sallinger."
Oh, dear.
- Dawn Lyn looks a LOT better than I thought she would. Her looks as a child could be... disturbing.
- My mom has some old movie mags from the 70's - I remember seeing all these stories about the *supposed* drama of their romance. It was all such a big deal - kind of like the hoopla you see with the Bennifers, Brangelinas, etc.
- Great thread. Who else can we dig up

- There were a lot of Sianish actresses that appeared on Marcus Welby. I bought MW dvd setband have yet to watch em yet.
- Datalounge fave Pamelyn Ferdin.

- [quote] She had a child years ago, who had some kind of developmental disability.
Didn't she often play developmentally disabled characters?
- What is it about actresses named Susan who decide to adopt some other dramatic name that begins with S?
Sigourney and Stockard, giving the side-eye to Sian
- This thread is great. I grew up watching these ladies on the telly and was kind of curious about their whereabouts.
Dodie looks great. I wonder if she's close to her brother still, or has the drug use become a problem.

- Lots of forgotten shows in that Pamelyn Ferdin thread: The Delphi Bureau, High Chapparell, Custer.
yes, r12.
- I rem this actress

- Wasn't Pamelyn Ferdin the original voice of Lucy Van Pelt in the Charlie Brown specials? Also, she was the daughter in that creepy ABC movie of the week with Gene Tierney and Ray Milland called Daughter of the Mind!
- A few years back someone on DL asked if anyone remembered Sian Barbara Allen in a '70s thread (I think). I'm paraphrasing, but the poster added this description of his memory of her: "Potted ferns, bentwood rockers, and macrame wall hangings figure heavily." Wish I could remember the exact words, because they made actually made me laugh out loud.

Jill%20Whelan
- [quote] Named the best acting class for both adults and kids in Bucks County.
Oh, dear.
- Always hated Pamela. Oy. Does anyone think Jill still gets money from Love Boat. It must be ontv somewhere
- From the look of the pictures on her website, it appears that Vicki Stubing is teaching acting classes from the living room of her apartment in Bucks County.

- [quote] Does anyone think Jill still gets money from Love Boat. It must be ontv somewhere
if she does it's likely at about 50 cents an episode these days.
- Wonder why she is living in Bucks County
- [quote]Remember "You'll Like My Mother"?
HELL, yes! LOVE that movie! And yes, she specialized in playing characters who rode the short bus to school.

- Loved Ronni. She was kind of butch
- I loved Ronne Troup in "Danger Island." I used to pretend I was her, tied up, while Jan Michael Vincent rescued me. Isn't she the daughter of Bobby Troup, from "Emergency?"
Chango%27s%20Capri%20Pants
- I remember Christine Belford. That's freaky that she grew up in the Amityville Horror house.
- Ronne then.
Yes, Bobby Troup's daughter.

- R13, don't forget Season Hubley.
- Season was sweet looking. Was she married Kurt Russell?
- I remember sweet-faced Season Hubley from an episode of "The Partridge Family," where she played a princess; "Family," where she played Selena; and as Priscilla, opposite Kurt Russell as Elvis. Then the did a complete turnaround and start as the prostitute in "Hardcore," with George C. Scott. After that she seemed to play hardened characters. Interesting career. Isn't her brother Whip Hubley?
- Yes, her brother is Whip Hubley.
How about Darleen Carr? She worked a lot. Another one, Laurie Prange. Used to see her all the time too.
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/50002213/Darleen+Carr+png.png
- Laurie Prange! Hadn't thought of that name in years. I was traumatized by the episode of "The Incredible Hulk" she did where she played a crippled girl whose evil mother was trying to kill her.
She looked a lot like Chloe Webb.
- Laurie Prange always played characters that were damaged, like she was a victim of incest or other unspeakable crimes.

- Jamie Smith Jackson? Blonde girl in lots of ABC movies of the week. I think she married hottie Michael Ontkean.
- Whatever happened to Judy Strangis? She played a shy teen on "Room 222" and wasn't she also on some Saturday morning kids show too?
- I remember Laurie Prange from and episode of Night Gallery call "Brenda." She befriends some sort of sea monster on the beach, and it ends with her talking to the sea monster, which is buried under a pile of rocks. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, and Pamelyn Ferdin plays a small role in it as her stuck-up friend. Prange was a good actress.
I read that Judy Strangis retired from acting on screen due to a stalker's advances. That's when she switch to voiceover work.
- Yes, I remember myself. I played Jenny Pendleton on "The Waltons" and they were among the happiest years of my life. I want to thank my fans who are kind enough to send me a birthday card every year! My younger sister has not only not died but is sitting across from me reading a book! My daughter is healthy and fine and is living down South. To the poster who doesn't like J.D. Salinger give me a break. Iam very active politically and am a member of the Bold Progressives. My love to Earl Hamner who wrote "The Love Story" and thanks to everyone who loves"The Waltons".Sian Barbara Allen
Sian%20Barbara%20Allen
- On the odd, odd chance that R40 is REALLY Sian Barbara Allen...well, I loved your work.
- My mom has an old movie magazine that has an article about the love story between Allen and Thomas.
- Victoria Meyerink-- the Danny Kaye show!
- What about that Meg ... can't remember her last name ... that had the creepy ice-blue eyes? Always freaked me out.
Another one: Joan Prather. I think she was a raging Scientologist.
- R44 Just remembered- Meg FOSTER
44
- R4,
those hippie, gypsy apartments were real dust traps.
Quentin Crisp
- Also to add, satanists have notoriously dusty abodes as well. Anton LaVey, the weirdo head of the Church of Satan reportedly never dusted his little demon-lair and if you sat down on his furniture you would have white marks all over the back of your pants.
I guess purple drapery and black carpet is hard to maintain.
dust bunnies from hell
- Judy Strangis' career was ended by a stalker. She was forced to ratchet down her career to invisibility. I think she does some voice work
Her brother, Sam, I think, is the producer for CSI (original one).
I remember when Judy Strangis was Mean Mary Jean, who was the spokeswoman for Chrysler
- Meg Foster? The from the original "Cagney and Lacey"?
A friend of mine was in a mommy's club in Trenton and who would you think turned up? Jill Whealan!!! My friend was like... "she looked familiar and was really friendly...later I realized who she was."
Years and years and years ago, maybe 15, I was at an upscale hotel and Jane Prather checked in. I was totally freaking. I told her I'd been a fan since "Smile". She was very nice, and looked great! I think she's teaching acting now...
