I always liked her, but she has totally dropped off the face of the earth.
I heard she was playing Natalie in Natalie Needs a Nightie at the Burt Reynolds dinner theater in Sarasota, FL.

Logo shows "It's a Living" some mornings. Nice to see her and Sherly (Lee) Ralph. She didn't use the 'Lee' back then.

They never could explain why she had a southern accent on wings.

I think she is a country music singer or composer, too.

I watched her on Happy Days, It's a Living, and Wings. She had impeccable comic timing. Love her.

Vintage gossip: “ Bernard, Crystal. "Hypocritical Christian who engages in lesbian affairs and then quickly retreats to religion and her boyfriend and pretends to be Miss Moral." Linked with Morgan Fairchild.”

I always enjoyed her on Wings. Thought she had a great delivery. That show had very good writers.

There’s a Twitter account but I think it’s a parody.

She released 2 CDs of country-pop that are (very) guilty pleasures of mine. The second one is unfortunately titled Don’t Touch Me There but the title song is actually pretty good.

Wasn't she a closet lesbo? Or am I thinking of the nurse from Empty Nest?

It is so strange how someone once so ubiquitous--not one, not two, but THREE long running series--can completely disappear.

I got her 2 CD's at Dollar Buys.
They were good.

She actually was great on Wings. I thought she'd keep on going. I do remember the lesbian rumors often. It's strange that there's not a bit of info on her the last few years.

Her dad was a televangelist.
From Wikipedia: Bernard was born in Garland, Texas. She was raised in a Southern Baptist home. Her father, Dr. Jerry Wayne Bernard, was a televangelist who traveled across the United States preaching and singing.[2] She became an entertainer at a young age, singing gospel songs with her elder sister, Robyn, also an actress. One recording of the two that has survived from those years is a song called "The Monkey Song", on Feudin' Fussin' and Frettin' recorded when Crystal was 8 years old,[3] a recording of a 1972 Thomas Road Baptist Church service led by Jerry Falwell. She has two younger sisters, Scarlett[4] and Angelique Bernard.
Bernard studied acting at Alley Theatre while growing up in Houston, Texas. She attended Spring High School and continued her education at Baylor University, and where she studied acting and international relations.[5]

She was in my sister's class in High School. She was absent most of the time to tour. Bitch. When I got there I had 31 excused absences for mono but they still insisted I repeat 12th grade.
