Michael Learned — or "Miss Michael Learned," as she was credited on The Waltons, lest anyone confuse her for a man — holds the record for most Emmy wins for outstanding lead actress in a drama series.

Well she was alright.

She didn't deserve three!

Was Michael trans?

I had such a crush on John Boy.

Helen Reddy's daughter married Michael Learned's son.

Tyne Daly would disagree.

Yeah, try fucking yourself with one of those.

I'll be in the bedroom, DPing.

R7, they’ve each won four in that category. Tyne also won two supporting Emmys.

Just remember - both Grandma and Grandpa Walton were gay. Big ol lesbian and huge fairy.

As you were...

She did a series called “Nurse” that was a great show but only lasted a season or so.

I was wondering why in The Waltons when the house burned down, they rebuilt it *exactly* the same. Maybe they should have added a few more rooms and taken in some lodgers?

All of the females on that show were cunts, except for the Baldwin sisters.

Met Richard Thomas once. Nice guy.

The Baldwin sisters were pleasant because they had the recipe to prop them up

And they had lots of money from the brothel they ran. Jason played the piano and Jim-Bob and Ben did "chores" for the ladies.

Ike Godsey could never give Cora Beth the luxuries she craved, she turned to prostitution. Earl Hamner Jr. as much said so in his book Good Night John Boy.

I think it was the "Ben" brother character who I wanted to do bad things to me in the dark during that series' run--yum.

I liked Learned. She seemed like she wouldn't take crap from anybody on or off set. Didn't she also head a series called "Models" or something, that lasted maybe 18 minutes on the air?

They should have had Lucille Ball make a guest appearance as an ex-showgirl who went to school with Grandma Walton. Drama ensues when Olivia comes home from church to see Lucy dancing for John Sr.
