Last week I had the chance to talk to Michael Learned, the matriarch of the clan, who told me how close she felt to her Walton kids, even after she left the series.
The photo above was taken during Saturday’s Q&A and features the following cast members: Martha Nix Wade (Serena Burton), Cissy Wellman (Cissy Tucker, Yancy Tucker’s wife), Michael Learned (Olivia), Kami Cotler (Elizabeth), Mary McDonough (Erin), Leslie Winston (Cindy, Ben’s wife), Eric Scott (Ben), Judy Norton (Mary Ellen) kneeling: Radames Pera (guest star), Ellen Geer (Will Geer’s daughter and guest star). We were also treated to two songs by the talented Judy Norton (who played Mary Ellen) and got to bid on Waltons memorabilia in a fun auction hosted by Eric Scott (Ben) and Mary McDonough (Erin). (who created the show based on his own childhood in Virginia) receiving the Will Geer Humanitarian Award, and participated in a very fun Q&A with the cast. We got tours of the grounds from Will Geer’s family members who still run the theater, had the chance to mingle with the visiting cast members, watched a video of 92-year-old Earl Hamner, Jr.
KAMI COTLER NUDE MOVIE
The reunion of cast members from the TV series ( The Waltons began with the 1971 TV movie The Homecoming and then continued on as a series for nine seasons on CBS followed by six reunion movies in the 80s and 90s) was warm and very moving. The event was a fundraiser for the spectacular outdoor theater founded by the late Will Geer (who played Grandpa Zebulon Walton on the long-running show). I was thrilled to attend the Waltons Weekend a few days ago at Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum just outside of Los Angeles.
