It had to have been about February or March 1980. Mention of Rusty Hamer ("Make Room for Daddy") prompted me to look up the late actor, and he died in January 1990.

I knew a Dr feelgood in knoxville tennessee he is responsible for the death of my friend misty she died in october 2005

[MasterJediDude]

Johnny Whitaker was always a nice kid and seemed pretty level-headed. I hope that he's doing great now.

[hittingthekeys]

@MasterJediDude I can tell you exactly how hes doing. Im his niece. He works as a motivational speaker for cocaine anonymous meetings.

[APRIL62318]

She didn't kill herself not on purpose it was an Accident Geraldo get it right!

[inkey2]

@APRIL62318 yeah, from all the info it seems like it was an accidental overdose.

[Christina5Archer]

John Whitaker seems to be a nice guy.

[ultrakool]

@Christina5Archer he's a cultist

[RobNLynchburgVA]

Oh a drug dealer with scruples....."Dr. Feelgood," right he would give you illegal drugs but he made sure you were 18. BULL SHIT.

[CalifaJohn]

The "friends" did not find her dead nor did they leave her dead. They found her near death, did nothing to help her, then LEFT HER TO DIE.

[TwistedSister09]

the friends should have been charged

[hans1538]

I know that guy. He's the first actor to be in a kissing scene with Jodie Foster

[Carolyn2005]

Geraldo was a goob then and he is one now! What a loser!

[TheDazzle77]

@Aspenfash899 no he's not Anissa Jones is is co star. that s who he's talking about..

[skankcitytitty]

Well Johnny did come out and say he was a crack addict for many years right around this time so in a way it is very hypocritical but i think today he is clean and good for him

[aiken1]

Do you have the rest of this episode. I would like to see the whole thing.

[TheDazzle77]

so sad... how many child stars end up dead..very sad.

[Aspenfash899]

[PhanDemus]

Geraldo Rivera is just a piece of liberal SHIT>>

[vegas787]

[mysterywriter4kids]

@vegas787 Back then? this was only 2009.

[num1Jaysta]

@mysterywriter4kids Umm...NO!

[mysterywriter4kids]

@num1Jaysta this video that we are commenting on: — October 03, 2009 — Johnny Whitaker talks about the death of Anissa Jones (Buffy) on the Geraldo Show from years ago. This show also... ( the one that's playing...)

[TwistedSister09]

@mysterywriter4kids Wow. This was uploaded in 2009 smart one.

[b30307]

@mysterywriter4kids

This episode made have been uploaded in 2009, but the show is much older - probably early 1990s. Just a FYI.

[RedDogLunch]

Johnny looked pretty strung out on this show,

look at his eyes.

[hippypeace]

I miss serious, controversial, but real talk shows of the past. It is time for a comback. Oprah used to make shows worth watching but money and fame has made her soft and watered down.

[afrosensuous]

@hippypeace...hey, you Hippy, I agree. this gives us a real look and feel for celebs as PEOPLE. This gives them a chance to chill with us.

[acehighpat]

I remember this show. Danny Bonaduce showed up on the program on drugs and he knocked Geraldo's opening of Al Capone's vaults and made fun of Todd Bridges.

[IwshIcldstrtover]

@acehighpat Par for the course. Danny Bonaduce is an idiot.
