    When Mary was struggling not to laugh during filming, her lower lip would quiver. Whenever I saw her lip quiver, I would immediately burst out laughing. Then I point across the dinner table, "Mary made me laugh!!!"

    Thank you, Mary for your genuine love and sharing. I have been binge-watching the Waltons lately; I had not watched them in years; it is like visiting the old homestead; thank you for making a show that still feels like home.

    Love the Waltons from watching as a kid and love to this day. My children all watched it and still love it also and now their children watch and love it. Love all the characters and the actors who portrayed them. So happy they all stayed in touch with each other as that makes it even more special. I have all of Mary's books and loved the movie from the book "Honeysuckle Lane". One of the greatest shows of all time.
    Will you be writing another book Mary?

    Ben Scott played two of the Hamner Brothers as one character, though I already remember Earl talking about it. I think it was at the very end of the Walton a shows I’m not sure if it was the reunion or one before that it was when they were showing all the cast members, and then the siblings of the Hamner’s and they were talking back-and-forth with the siblings, and the cast members who played who as there are parts .

    My favorite. "Erin" I was partial to cute red-haired Irish girls. My first love and all in between to my wife. I was eight or nine when The show began. My mom was a huge fan so my older brothers and sister wouldn't even try to have family watch something else on Walton nights. I think it was Thursday nights in the beginning.

    The first time I saw Mary McDonough on tv when I was little was when she was in an infomercial for a vacuum cleaner lol. I'm a big vacuum cleaner nerd, been one since I was a toddler, and the infomercial she hosted was for a vacuum cleaner called the Fantom Fury. It was basically the North American equivalent to a Dyson vacuum back when they were still dual cyclonic. I loved seeing the infomercial when I got the chance. The house that she was hosting the infomercial in was really nice, and seeing the Fantom Fury in action was so cool to me. I really want to get one lol.

    Mary, I remember the flipping hair epidode from your book! Yes, any little thing and you are tagged. I am a few years older than you but a valley boy myself. Your stress in getting out on Walton summer vacation Late Feb./early March and having to do 3 months of regular school, I feel your pain. Awkward. And you the sensitive type. Horrors. Oh, Mary. I just like you and Erin so much. What is it about you??? Erin grew up into the most wonnderous girl and i take delight in her currently, all over again, weekdays! Well, its a mistake to gush too much, but gosh. Gosh.

    • @garywarmee4367

      It would be sexual harrassment today, but I loved when The Pin-up was waltzing herself down the way and that young GI made a bet with his friend to walk over and kiss you! To your father's dismay! Such an event was in its own place & time and so charming! Mary, I know Johnathan Frakes was the one for you(!) {And what could be more exciting for the fans (me) that after so many years a real Ashley Longworth in the flesh!!!}, but I thought your most compelling and complex romance was with JT. The First Casuality gets me every time. I realize you Walton women grew up with him so you all love him like an old shoe, but the relationship grew into such confusing complexity. Erin, as she matured, grew this amazing sensitivity and heart. A non-sequitur just flew into my head. I want to announce that I think Erin looked her very best in the dark navy sailor dress I am sure you remember as Erin did get a lot of milage out of it.
