I just saw an interview with one of Ricky Nelson’s twin sons who are now adults. He said their mother, Mark Harmon’s sister, was a narcissist and had some real issues.
Is that the daughter with a beautiful blue eyes? I remember seeing her on some rerun TV show. I can't remember the title. I had no idea Mark Harmon was their uncle. I had no clue until I saw this. Wow
I know for a fact. Mark Harmon never talked about any of this to the public. He keeps his family life very private. I know didn’t get any of this story from Mark.
Kristen and Tracey look so much alike that its confusing. My kids turned me on to Nelson in the 90's and the whole dvd is excellent. They have such a unique sound. I think they turned out great. Everyone is doing well. The end.
I watched an interview that "Daze With Jordan The Lion" did with Gunnar, Rick and Kristen's son. Gunnar said that RIGHT BEFORE his father went on to sing on SNL, Kristen called and said she had JUST FILED FOR DIVORCE!!!! Now how EVIL IS THAT?!
Definitely evil. It happens when paernts pamper Kristin obviously too much and feels she is self-entitled. That is too bad Ricky married Kristin because too much connection with the Harmons didn't help Rickey but then they had a child on the way so naturally Ricky did the appropriate best and they got married.
@@angelacarleton9575 Krissy was a difficult person, very spoiled, pampered. I'm sure Krissey thought she had married her dream guy, reality must have been hard for her to accept.
I heard her own son say she was a narcissist and addict. Now I see why. I use to think Mark Harmon was the bad guy, but then I seen the truth. Sorry Mark Harmon. Her own son said she was the bad one and the night that Ricky was on Saturday Night Live she called him right before he was due on set to tell him she was filing for divorce. And Ricky had the twins. Not Christin so he was the one who should've getting child support.
Marky Harmon didn't deserve to have his name dragged through the mud like this. Gunny and Matty will both tell you how difficult their mother Krissy was.
Just watched a video of the Nelson twins and what they said does not resemble this at all. They loved their dad and were close to him. According to them their mother was the problem not their dad. You are putting out false information.
@@elizabethf2104 there multiple videos of the twins talking about their parents. It was eye opening. They learned to accept what they had. They did talk about their mom and and it was very sad. Kris was a willing participant in the drugs. They were hippies in their early days.
This happens in these types of marriages, where the spouse is rotting in jealousy, spending all the money, making blanket accusations, constant 'hose beast' attitude, playing mental games and using the children as wedges to hurt the man...oh, wait, that's almost every marriage. Ricky was a simple guy, he loved music and he could make some money doing it but the wife wasn't strong enough to hold the fort down and maintain a stable presence while he worked. If you're gonna to be pissy, controlling and hateful, don't expect the man to respond to ANY of that BS. Rather than apologize, she chose to act out further, double down on her pride and arrogant tendencies. Ricky was probably just confused about it all, he wasn't built to handle a drug addicted nut job.
Not fair to tell a sad story from only one perspective when Rick is not here to defend himself and tell the story from his perspective. It takes two to tango. It takes two to overcome problems.
I can’t believe it,I still have crush on this woman after all these years! What can I say she was my dream lover. I hear Ron Reagan Jr. had a night of passion with her in The White House!! I’m so jealous. 💔
Everyone's remarks here are pathetic. Both Ricky and Kristen we're responsable for their own action. They both loved each other and hurt each other. People do things they later regresa when they feel hurt or restricted. Works both ways. They were 2 great people who were teying to stay afloat in the limelight. One of man's biggest problems is self-centeredness, and when you marry you must the other person's needs first. Neither one knew how to do that. Many walking wounded out there, they just don't make the front pages. Let's focus on supporting what's left of this amazing family and stop taking sides or giving any corn-field psycholgy.
Not true at all! You have no idea what you're talking about! Kris was in the wrong!!!!!! She never loved or deserved him!!!!! She was a Very vindictive. Evil. Abusive. Manipulative. Selfish person!! It was a shotgun wedding. She Was a druggy and a alcoholic. And used Rick!! She only cared about money and herself!
Marky Harmon only wanted to do the best for Sammy Nelson. Krissy had a problem with drugs and alcohol. Gunny, Matty and Tracy will all attest to this. Ozzie and Harry liked Krissy, they probably had no clue about her troubles.
0:50 - 0:56 "Kristin was born to football icon Tom Harmon and stellar actress Elyse Harmon." CORRECTION: the successful actress' name was Elyse Knox; that's how she was billed by the studios. You've done a disservice to the RUclips audience and to the Knox, Harmon and Nelson families by stating the incorrect name of an actress, which of course is unrecognizable. But, "Elyse Knox" -- 'stellar' reputation as you state -- was quite well known and quite the beauty.
Following ... Harmon's return from World War II (during which he survived two plane crashes and being lost in the jungle), she and Harmon married in 1944. Her wedding dress was made of silk from the parachute Harmon used when bailing out of his plane.[10][8] After Harmon's demobilization, they settled in the Los Angeles area.' (Wikipedia) Tough cookies, those Harmons.
None of this came from Mark Harmon. It is weird with celebrities, if Rick had been the one with the drug problem and acted like Kris, there would be no blame on him still. We just do not know the deep internal stuff and that is the way Mark Harmon wants it.
The investigation and the pilots who lived thus crash differ with what gossip was spread by many ....remember there were full medical, FFA, ect . They spoke to those that was around Rick and band before taking off ect.
@@kathenavarro6850 you should watch the video the co-pilot posted, Ken Ferguson. Rick was a smoker, but he was not into hard drugs. And nobody was smoking in flight - they were sleeping when the fire started.

Her name was Kristin, Not "Christian" like the Robot voice keeps saying, what an idiotic coward presentation to do with a Robot voice and a bunch unfair gossip with out Mark Harmon or the late Kristin to approve or disapprove of ...the lady is dead, she can't defend herself, leave her alone. My sympathies to Tracy, Gunner, Matthew, and Sam Nelson for having to put up with this garbage.
rick was not the angel people believe he was . he had fathered a son with a woman named georganne crewe which rick never acknowledged none of the nelsons did the child was named eric jude crewe
If Rick had fathered a child, he would have taken that child in and loved him/her, that woman was just after his money. Unfortunately, at the end of his life, he didn't have much money. The divorce broke him financially.
GUNNAR AND MATTHEW HAD AN AWESOME RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR DAD NEAR THE END SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS YOU GUYS ROCK

Me too !! Totally different than this !
yes Starfish21, people with drug issues generally are
Yes, I'm just watching it! As a son, I think he has a closer bead on the truth.
Great interview with his son. Odd woman
I heard her constant demand for more money kept Ricky on the road, when he just wanted to be home.
Harmon tried to do what was best for the boy... I don't think he wanted to hurt his sister.
me neither
The twins looked exactly like the Harmon side of the family. Their mother was beautiful and a wonderful ❤️ artist 🎨
I was always a fan of Tracy Nelson....

that's true, Marky Harmon doesn't trash talk his family.
Thank you. I have now heard both sides of the story.
Why all the pics of Mark Harmon? This was not all about him. And that stupid robot voice is awful. Crap article! 🤢
The headline is about Marky Harmon.
Oh how tragic alcohol and drugs tears are families apart. It affects each and every member of the family
Yes , it really does

Drunks and Junkies always blame other people for Thier own problems , ♦️♦️♦️‼️
I thought NO WOMAN could be as BEAUTIFUL AS Kristen . It was sad to see what a Troubled life she had .
I think she was of quite average physical beauty.
I was shocked to hear how young she was dating and then getting pregnant and married. I wonder what her childhood was like?
I love this actor
I believed Mark from the very beginning. He and Pam stepped in to help.
This whole story is tragic. No further comment

So sad. The twins & Sam look & sound so much like Ricky. I have loved Ricky literally since I was in nappies. I still miss him. RIP
especially Sam the twins have another tale to tale about this divorce
Me too! He was my teenage heartthrob. I am now 75 and still listen to his music.
yes, Sammy, Gunny and Matty have carried on the music tradition of the family.,
Prayers for Tracy.

Chauvinist pig much?
Krissy was just a tormented person, and she wanted everyone around her to feel the same way.
Not fair to tell a sad story from only one perspective when Rick is not here to defend himself and tell the story from his perspective. It takes two to tango. It takes two to overcome problems.
uofa82, defend Rick Nelson for what? Kristin caused all the problems in their marriage. She also spent money faster than Rick could earn it.
check out the twins now adults story about things
i am on rick nelson side.
Me to
Me too
thank you. The man still doesn't get the respect her deserves.
Why the automated voice? Makes it impossible to listen to ugh
Ricky's first love was Lorie Collins. When that relationship was over Lori married a much older member of Johnny Cash's traveling group.
I am on Rick's side as well
thank you, finally someone speaks truth.
Bad story . She was way worse than that ..
Just listen to the stories their sons tell. . . .
This is not an accurate accounting of this story. Even Kristin's family sided with Rick. She was a very vindictive person.
'
True.
computer narration sucks
Yeah, who can believe that Mark Harmon "said" this if you don't see and hear it coming from him on screen!
Timewaster!
I can’t believe it,I still have crush on this woman after all these years! What can I say she was my dream lover. I hear Ron Reagan Jr. had a night of passion with her in The White House!! I’m so jealous. 💔
She wasn't THAT attractive.
Isn't Reagan Jr. gay? Even if he isn't, she would have been FAR too attractive for him!

Hi Maria Elena, you are right, I totally agree !
From the way I read it both were doing drugs a lot. I agree both were guilty and they hurt their children along the way.

Krissy was doing a lot of drugs; everybody admits that. Even her sons.

Whoa take it easy it's an easy mistake.
MARK is UNCLE to the twin brothers,from NELSON BAND
Never forget that new years eve. Hearing about the plane crash
me neither got to see Rick in person

Rick did have a drug problem. When he died they said it was because he was freebasing cocaine on the plane that caused an explosion.
@@kathenavarro6850 That story was totally debunked years ago. An NTSB crash investigation showed the fire was caused by a faulty cabin heater.

Correction. Lawrencine May "Lorrie" Collins.
recall as a young teen was in love with Kris Harmon
Ricky did NOT do Drugs. He was so AGAINST them. This is NOT true. His wife did for a short while.
Not true.
Unfortunately he did.
of course he didn't. Drugs weren't around in the late 50s, unless they mean sleeping pills. The whole drug culture didn't happen until the mid 60's.
I've seen old reruns of some TV show where the daughter of Ricky Nelson was one of the characters. Really pretty. I don't know the name of the show
