  • She is not bipolar, her BROTHER is. Not surprised about the lesbian part though.

  • No surprise she's gay. Always thought she looked like a dude.

  • She sufferes from mental illness Bi Polar. Its so sad how illness ruins someones life. Her mother is also mentally unbalanced. 

  • A amazing talent who even today is missed. She could do drama, she was a great comic actress, and was a great singer. I had a big time crush on her when I was a kid. Man what a talent she was.

  • I'm so proud of her. She left the business to take care of herself.  No career is worth destroying your life over. Love you, Kristy!

  • Happy 9/11 Kristy.

  • Sad you don't have any of her as a woman!

  • You moron, these are low res photos!

  • she is awesome

    

  • Does anyone know where she is at now and what she's doing? Would love an update.

  • @spongeworthyvideo Born on September 11, 1962, in Los Angeles, California, Kristy McNichol got her start in commercials as a child actress. She acted in the television drama "Family," for which won she two Emmy Awards, and started a singing career. She starred in several films over the next decade but an on-going battle with bipolar disorder harmed her productivity. She retired from acting in the late 1990s. She is Currently teaching acting at a private school in Los Angeles

  • Brings back wonderful memories! I grew up loving you and still do! Miss you so much and hope you are doing well!

  • i remember being 6 years old saying "I'm gonna marry her" LOL. I had it so bad for her as a youth.

  • I am still in love with kristy after all these years, Where ever you are Kristy I Love You !!!!!! She is very good actress.... i miss her.

  • I remember hanging out with my cousin - she looked exactly like Kristy McNichol. And people were always stopping her, asking for her autograph. It was so cool to be with her in the summer - always a hoot. And she sometimes pretended to be her.

  • She had the most killer feathered hair in the world.

  • I remember buying some magazines,because her photos were in them. Otherwise, I would not have bought those magazines. I no longer have them, but it was great to see them in this video.

  • I remember watching her on various TV shows, and then Family as Buddy, and the movie White Dog and Little Darlings.

    I think she was also in a show before Family...Apple's Way I think. Then a show in the early-mid 80s. Can't remember that, but she was certainly popular!

  • I kept her photo from TV Guide in my locker when I was a senior in high school. At the end of the year, my class willed it to all of the junior guys.

  • I think you underestimate the beauty of Kristy McNichol..

  • good god i loved this woman when i was a kid.. at 38, i still feel like a kid just seeing her.. she was always something to see..

  • I wonder how she would do on Dancing with the Stars?

  • She was one of the best...

  • We got to meet Kristy one year when she came to Vegas to see the Osmonds. She invited a big group of us up to her room and we just sat there and talked and goofed around for a couple of hours. She was really nice and down to earth.

  • Kristy was such a pivatol part of my growing up. I always looked up to her, she was my idol when I was a kid. I'm still mezmarized when I watch her movies, great actress, really ahead of her time. Brings back to that innocent time in the 70s. I had a HUGE crush on her brother Jimmy!

  • Kristy was one of my heros when i was a little girl...Kristy is not just a good Actress but a GREAT Actress...I wish you happiness dear Kristy

  • Hello? She looks like a boy! They would never use her TODAY in films, because she isn't "hot"! She's lucky she was that age at that time when they used more "ordinary" looking people.

  • @KurtIsSexy520 indeed.. because us "ordinary" people are so.. ordinary.. thank goodness we disappeared and gave way to you "extraordinary" ingrates, right?

  • @l3thDisciple My mom logged onto my account and posted that! I'm so so pissed! Ahhhrg! I didn't post that comment, it was my mom, because for some reason my mom feels the need to log onto her 16 year old daughter's account to spam people when she has her own account. Psht. I have no opinion on this person and have no clue who she is. I may as well say since I'm here though that ordinary people are the most beautiful.

  • @KurtIsSexy520 lol.. awesome.. had to go back to see what I said, and I apologize for being a bit of an ass there.. so no worries.. btw, is your mom hot? :P

  • @l3thDisciple It's cool. I wouldn't say my mom is hot, I know she personally doesn't think that. I do think my mom is pretty though! My mom isn't an arrogant ass like you may think, I actually love her alot and she's fucking fantastic. Currently she's in the hospital though. I think she was just voicing her opinion here. I must agree though that they probably would not use this actress today. But that is society's fault, because for some reason society is so stuck on these "perfect" women.

  • I love You Kristy, forever.

  • She was angel, God bless you Kristy!! May you find the peace your searching for.

  • this dike stinks

  • The artist's name is Janelle

  • I see you're 14. while i understand your idealizing someone from the distant past,(I did thye same w/40's movie stars in the 70's,she was of a time and place not relevant to your life. I hope you can seek out young people of today that you feel you can connect with, even if they are'nt part of the mainstream.Your memories in 20 years should be of this time and your own.It saddens me you have to go 30 years into the past to find a phantom of some past movie star to look up to.

  • I think that was her very appeal, you watched her and instantly related to her whatever she played. Even now her smile and eyes captivate and hold you in such a sunny daze. Where ever she is I hope she's well and happy.

  • Wholesome girl next door looks. 

  • What ever happened to her ?

  • fucking dykes and Amy Johns all over this page.

  • Kristy, my name is Victoria and I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, just want you to know that I think you are an amazing person/actress and I wish that you would come back to acting someday, I really liked all the movies and sitcoms you did. I really miss seeing you on the big screen and the sitcoms you did. You are a beautiful person and you have a fantastic personality. May God Bless you in everything you do.

  • I LOVE YOU KRISTY MCNICKEL

  • I love Kristy! I wish she'd come back!!! She was my first crush:-)

  • Seriously, nobody was even close to being as cute a she was. You just wanted to hold her close and protect her from this mean ol' world. Ohh YES, the flame still burns brightly!

  • The song is by Janelle

  • Such a pretty song!

  • I miss her too. I hope she is doing well and is able to enjoy life because I know what clinical depression is like. Stay well Kristy. I miss you.

  • I use to have the biggest crush on Kristy McNicol that ever was back in the day. Where ever you are now days Kristy, I hope you are doing well and I wish you would come back to TV or movies.

  • Thanks for the great photos and music that is perfect for her

  • No cuter face on the earth to show the perfect beauty of youth- all youth is beautiful.

  • Very well done. While I miss seing her on screen (very talented), I hope she is happy, at peace and enjoying life. I don't really think she's in hiding, just living her own life.

  • She will always have a place in my heart as a fan and a friend.She'll always be my "First Crush".

  • @tiredfather2008 Sorry dude, she was my crush....you cant have her lol

  • @tiredfather2008

    SHE WAS MY FIRST LOVE I MESS HER SO MUCH

  • amazing--by Janelle.

    so perfect for Kristy.....I wish she'd come out of hiding :) I miss her.

  • Kristy, you wil always have those entrancing eyes, remarkable voice, a following... but the depression was because something's missing in your soul...you know there's a prayer you can say, don't wait too long. Thank the One who gave it to you, believe and get eternal life like I did. Fill that void.

  • I to had a huge crush on Kristy as a kid (I am 1 year her junior) but who is counting? I am interested in how she is going now....married?.....kids?.....­.health? what a beauty :-).

  • @alanwillis1 She has a partner, not sure about kids.

  • @alanwillis1 She just recently came out of the closet...look it up on yahoo

  • Wonderful job on this video. I sure wish she would come out of retirement.

  • She's a doll! Music & lyrics nice. Would've been cool to see a few more current pics!

  • wouldnt dare show a recent picture ha?

  • Kristy was my first famous crush back in the day. As a kid, I was bored with the show Family, except for her scenes!

  • Your not alone. I love Kristy McNichol also!

    Always! So Be It!

  • i love u! what ever happened to u? u are a cutey to this day.

  • I had a big crush on her when I was a kid

  • @quincee33 You are an idiot.Who cares what she is,as long as she's found happiness

  • i'm just saying!!! i wish she wasn't... she totally hot...good for her, i don't have a problem with that....

  • CONT-Just type KRISTY MCNICHOL GUESTBOOK on google.

  • You are right cadmiumblue! Kristy mcnichol was the Goddess of beauty! No one is prettier than her. Try to see and read on google there are 30 million obsessed fans telling her that she was so beautiful and they're in love.

  • Her beauty LITERALLY takes my breath away. I have to catch my breath when I look at that gorgeous face and those intense brown eyes. I maintain that she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. KRISTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amen cad, you...her eyes are burnt umber and her skin a golden ochre....always had a thing goin on there..as an artist i have drawn her 1 trillion times

  • I love the fact that she was very androgenous. Her tomboy good looks make her very hot! She's a talented actress full of heart and soul. She took every part she was in and made it real. I do hope to see her again on screen!!!

  • Oh my, that is a long time ago. When Little darlings came out I must have watched the movie a thousand times. I had the biggest crush on her and I was very young. Haven't seen her since then, I think.

    You posted this 2 years ago, still thanks!

  • I think she was a tomboy, and looks  like it.

  • No i havent seen it,i prefer not to watch movies on the net but to watch them on tv so i cant help with that but i would like to see the film.I have just ordered THE END from Amazon and i have no doubt this will be another faultless performance from K.M.

  • Roseabeth! Hav You see the summer of my german soldier? Anton call patty PT. What does it mean? It really arise our curiousity. Thanks a lot.

  • I think most people here in the U.K.probably wont have heard of Kristy which is sad because of the fine actress she was and i have no doubt still is,but PrettyNene you and i will always hold her in the highest regard,now come on Mauijae lets hear from you...let you and PrettyNene put your fingers to the keyboards for more Kristy compliments.I repeat PrettyNene...this is fun.

  • So very much fun, roseabeth! Especially for the sake of kristy, i mean all about kristy.

  • You are very welcome PrettyNene,i got the info from Amazon.I remember when Family was first screened in the U.K.[it was mid-week afternoons in the mid1970s]and being astounded by this wonderful and gorgeous teenage actress...oh such happy times...isnt it fun talking like this...your turn

  • Thank you very much roseabeth for the info.

  • I hear that FAMILY SEASON 3 is to be released and not before time so lets get seasons 4 and 5 out quickly as well.This was such a well scripted and well acted show,but despite being the youngest Kristy was without doubt the most talented of a strong cast....Mauijae and Prettynene21 over to you.

  • Summer of my german soldier. What a sad story! And prettynene21 is right. Kristy was so beautiful and bruce davison was so handsome and so cute!

  • Again.....i definitely agree roseabeth!

  • Thank you prettynene,it is a film i wish to see but i dont need any proof of what a great actress she is.I dont think Kristy has ever acted less than brilliantly in her life.I wonder if she ever reads these messages?I just hope she is happy and one day she can return to the screen.

  • SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER part 1 to part 10.

  • Hey, roseabeth and mauijae21! Will you please type 'Kristy Mcnichol-SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER' also right here on you tube and see how great Kristy Mcnichol as an actress. And wow! She was sooo beautiful and her leading man was so handsome too!

  • Thank you Mauijae,i think Kristy lead the way and set an example in acting talent for teen stars for which few if any have managed to follow.

  • You are right, roseabeth! Kristy will always be number ONE. No one is prettier and popular than her. She was a GODDESS. And we always love kristy and Leif Garrett together. Oh GOD! They are so cute! We did watch it right here on you tube KRISTY MCNICHOL LEIF GARRETT-FAMILY. Kristy was so beautiful and Leif was so handsome. By the way, Brad Pitt and George Clooney admitted having crushes on her. Is it true that popular british actor Jack Wild had a crush on her too? I read it too!

  • Song is Amazing by Janelle in case you guys are wondering ;-)

  • I read somewhere that Kristy was voted 49th best ever child star,while i realise this was meant as a compliment would somebody like to tell me who the 48 were who were better than her?Kristy will always be number one..there will never be another Kristy Mcnichol...i am her biggest fan in England.

  • Are botn of Kristy's parent still living?

  • yeah they are

  • Kristy is not gay.

  • loved this video, made me cry b/c she's so beautiful and i did google her, she still looks great, gay or straight.

  • She was so cute, I guess all boys at my age then were in love wit her:-)

  • and girls!

  • Me too! Omg...i'm still in love with her.

  • Yessss...they are right! Because of kristy Mcnichol's beauty and popularity, she was the crush of many young boy in the decade of 70's and 80's.

  • I had my first ever crush on Kristy! Never forgot her!

  • OutsidersLover Have you met kristy? How lucky you are? She was soooooooooo beautiful. We saw her a million times in the pirate movie and little darlings. She was the GODDESS of beauty!

  • no, i havent had the pleasure of meeting her. but i completely agree that she was a beautiful woman and i loved loved loved the pirate movie! i made my mom go out and get it from a vintage movie store i found. awesome movie!

  • We strongly agree gazalees! Oh pleeeessssssssssssssssssssssss­sss kristy come back on screen. We miss your beautiful face and voice on screen a lot. KRISTY MCNICHOL? What a beautiful and amazing woman!

  • i whole heartedly agree. im only 14, so i never got to ACTUALLY experience her, but i wish i could have. she is an amazing, relateable person. i would love for her to make a comeback, but not if she won't feel comfortable. the first priority is her happiness and safety! but i DEFINITELY agree with you and gazalees and everyone else who expressed positive feedback towards her! xD

  • Where are you Kristy?? We miss you !! Did you know you still have a lot of fans. You were such a wonderful actress, I bet you still are. I hope to see you on the big screen soon. Take care and know that you are loved ;)

  • A natural beauty!

  • That picture that comes up at the 15 second mark....that's vintage Kristy McNichol...what a Doll she was, and she's still beautiful to this day...hope she's doing well...growing up in the 70's I know there were a ton of guys the girls all swooned over, but there was just one girl I knew of who all the guys wanted...Kristy McNichol..

  • What a beautiful babe! She is a great actress and i'm still in love with her.

  • I've always liked her-especially in The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. I also liked her in the series of Family. Whatever became of her-will she make a come back? I for one miss her very much and wish her the best.

  • Thank you very much for the nice video outsiderslover. Kristy Mcnichol is sooo beautiful. She is the GODDESS of beauty. She is the mega star of the 70 and 80's. Try to see in kristy mcnichol guestbook there are 30 million obssesed fans telling her that they're in love. No one is prettier than her.

Keep on commenting and loving Kristy!

    -OutsidersLover12

  • Happy Birthday for today September 11th Kristy from your biggest fan in England.

  • I Love this Video and thanx for Posting!! Does anyone know what happened to her? Where is she now? 10* for the Video!

  • i dont know if anyone has answered this, but she quit acting because she has a case of bipolar disease, and it was making her job harder. and thanks so much for the nice comments!

  • good song

  • She has such a natural, tom-boyish quality that is SO appealing.

    I've liked her ever since I saw 'Summer of my German soldier'. Really nice movie.

  • i cant believe she stoped acting cus of her bipolar desease

  • Then you don't have or don't know someone with it. She is at peace. Leave her be and be nicer to someone who is so incredible.

  • what a cool tribute. To take the time to honor this class act in a such a graceful way - thank you. She was one of my childhood heroes - she was so herself - and so hot! I hope she's as happy as she made so many of us - she had no idea!

  • hey, you're the ones watching it! but thank you for the lovely comments! i kno, i wish she was still acting since i never had a chance to fully enjoy her acting (im 13 now, so i wasnt around when her movies were coming out)

  • i am 14 and i am into the older movies and music, so i can totally relate!!!

  • its soo cool to have someone relate! i feel so alone when my friends hum beyonce or watever under their breath and im humming the chiffons or something! and they never want to watch older movies with me! soo annoying!

  • thanks to everyone for all the feedback. Its great being able to share interests with (almost) all of you. I'm 13 so my friends dont really relate to some of my hobbies like older movies and music and things like that. THANKS TO ALL THE FEEDBACK! (L)

  • i always loved that crooked smile

  • I was so jealous of Kirsty when she starred with Paul and David in Starsky and Hutch. I was about the same age, and wished it could have been me!

    So sorry to hear about the struggles with her health. Let's hope things look up for her.

    Sarah

  • Love the montage. She was one of my teenage heroes. Met her several times in the 80's. Really understand and can relate to her bipolar issues. Hope she's happy, whatever she's doing now!! Thanks for posting this!!!

  • thank you so much for watching it!

  • She must have been diagnosed with a very severe chronic form of bipolar for this to stop her from acting. Is she really bipolar? Or was there something else? There sure are a lot of famouse acters diagnosed with bipolar now and days like Brook Sheilds. I wonder if this is bogus and just a way for these famous people to advertise this disorder to make the pharmaceutical companies rich. Or, she was really diagnosed something more drastic such as Schizophrenia- not as cool sounding as bipolar.

  • great video! nice to see some older and younger photos of her. top stuff

  • hey,

    i finally found the time to make a pictorial video of kristy mcnichol. check it out when you get a chance.all feedback is welcome.

    thinking of doing a series of about 10.

    i have tons of kristy stuff lol. hope ya like it:) lmk

  • Well done. Love the pics. Its good to see another fan of this great actress.

  • Who cares if shes gay or not. She is AMAZING!!!

  • Steamroller Rosie Odonell wants to spank Kristy with Ellen watching.

  • So she's gay? She was a terrific actress. I feel for her

  • Oh! Kristy, my childhood idol. Who can forget this amazingly talented actress? No one. She was fanstastic. I would love to see her acting again. I miss her.

  • Why is it a shame??

  • Women are meant to be with men period. It's not natural.

  • Oh for goodness sake!

  • Huh?

  • Kristy is an amazing talent!! I've been a fan since the "Apples Way" days. My cousin Teri had the previlage to know Kristy personally, They went to the same high school together in West Hollywood. Teri has told me that Kristy was the most down to earth person she knew. This was back when "Family" was being filmed.

    I would love to see her act again, but no matter what she desides to do, I wish her the best. She definately deserves the best. Be it chillin' at home or doing whatever! Love her

  • Great vid! Thanks for posting - and to Kristy if you read this - you are AMAZING. Wherever you may be, you had some demons to fight, we understand. Please come back to us. We love you. Your personality and natural comic shone through and that's only a fraction of what we love about you.

  • thanks for commenting and watching and i think everyone who has seen this video and loved kristy when she was acting agrees 100% with you!
