Kathy was gorgeous, back then & still is. But I think the personality of her character was what attracted a lot of fan admiration. Cissy was wholesome, charming, thoughtful, mature. The kind of gal that any boy could have introduced to his parents & surely get 2 thumbs up. Sad that there aren't more Cissy-like characters in today's TV landscape.

Sam Westing I TRULY AGREE WITH YOUR POINT ABOUT GALS LIKE HERE, are not in Today’s Television!!! Should be!!!! We need more wholesome TV people so the kids don’t think everyone isn’t! Rant over.!!! Sorry I was yelling but I feel strongly about that point!!!💯 take care everyone! Be safe, wash your hands, brush your teeth, and cough 😷 cough into your sleeve! God Bless!!!!

She was, and still is, living proof that you can be wholesome and sexy at the same time. When Family Affair began, Kathy was 19/20 and I believe a sophomore or a junior at UCLA. She got progressively more beautiful and sexy as she matured into her mid-20s by the end of the show's run in Season 5 in 1972. She got her BA in psychology from UCLA around seasons 2 - 3 of Family Affair.

Anisa Jones life was tragic. After the show ended in 1973, she fell in with the wrong crowd. Had an older brother who's best friend became her boyfriend. She had an abortion at 13-14 years old, supposedly married at 16, dead two weeks after she turned 18 in 1976. Older brother died a few years later and the mother died in 2011-2012 in Detroit. No one knows what happened to the father. Johnny Whitaker did drugs and booze until his mid 40's. Now clean and sober. Brian Keith committed suicide in the 90's. Garver was the only one who survived all that, the pitfalls of post-TV fame, for the most part.

My favorite cast member was Uncle Bill/Brian Keith. I came from 2 large families so I had 12 uncles and aunts, but no completely unflappable uncles like Uncle Bill....and certainly none that wore a tuxedo on a fairly regular basis. Cissy was a lot like my oldest (of 4) sisters, but also a bit like my other older sister who was a bit of a rebel. As far as Mrs Beasley, I always thought that Buffy was a bit too old to be lugging a doll with her nearly everywhere. If anything, I was sort of envious of how easily Buffy and Jody made friends. But then, children that age don't always have the hangups of (slightly) older kids. BTW, Family Affair was really just a more urbane version of My Three Sons, by the same production company.

Cissy would have been an awesome older sister. I'll bet Kathy would have been as well. I don't know a lot about her, but she obviously was and still is a very beautiful woman and seems to have a wonderful personality. Can we expect videos on Brian Keith and Sebastian Cabot in the near future?

People tend to think child actors end up train wrecks because of the few that do. But most, like Kathy, turn out just fine. I have a pintrest board on successful child actors and have over 300 such child actors who did just fine as adults.

I really truly honestly did love family affair . Each & everyone was wonderful actors, actresses . It's a shame that anissa Jones committed suicide just like Brian Keith . Sebastian Cabot died by some other way . My sympathies goes to the families of anissa Jones, Brian Keith as well . Other people who worked with Brian Keith my sympathies goes to you as well . Even the fans of the show . Brian Keith,sebastian Cabot I am sure player in other movies as well. rest in peace .. your fans miss you all . We love all of you . The only people who are left is Johnny Whitaker , Kathy garver

Why all the hate on the Mrs. Beasley doll? I saw that doll in Sears catalog long before I ever saw Family Affair.

No real "hate" for Mrs. Beasley, froggy556. That said, when I was a kid, I was not fond of the doll. The comments in the video are in jest and hopefully seen as just for fun.

I just love this TV show. I could never understand why it was not on for more seasons than it was? Everyone seem to watch it and love it. So what was the deal with that?

@sexymama1966 4 жыл бұрын

I think by the 5th season, it aired opposite of The Flip Wilson Show and the ratings pretty much cancelled FA. I read somewhere that ABC was thinking about picking up the show but they had The Brady Bunch, so FA wasn't picked up. Then I think CBS were going in a different direction, such as All In the Family and other shows.

@steve2474 4 жыл бұрын

Keep in mind that most sitcoms only last 3-5 years and that a big part of the success of Family Affair was Buffy and Jody and their cute childlike innocence. By the time the show ended, Anissa Jones would have been 12 or 13 and John Whittaker 11 or 12. If memory serves me correctly, the writers and/or producers of the shows really didn't allow their two characters to mature all that much over the life of the show because they wanted to milk all of the young childlike cuteness and personalities out of them. In my opinion, it was kind of cruel to have those two keep portraying 7 or 8 year old children up to the very end of their preteen years. It would have been nice to see Buffy and Jody grow and start to mature as the show progressed. But at that point CBS chose to just ax the show rather than putting forth the effort to further develop their characters. Also, by that point, Cissy would have been ready to move out and start on her own.
