former child actor died

[Old_Me]

Adam Rich, who played in 8 is enough with several other younger actors, as found dead.

he had been in trouble with the law, and was once arrested for trying to rob a pharmacy.

some of these child actors just cannot handle the real world from the world of make believe.

far too many end up dead too.

a picture of him, from the early days of the tv show

[The Night Rider]

The girl that played Elizabeth Walton quit acting as soon as The Waltons ended.

She used her money to buy a 1951 Thunderbird and pay for college. She is an English Teacher at a private school now.

seems he took a "secret overdose"

Troubled Life Of 'Eight Is Enough' Star Adam Rich: Child Actor Died As A Recluse After Secret Overdose, Rehab Battle

when those demons get into a person, and they don't fight it, this is inevitable many times.

nothing we can do except to say..."tsk...tsk.....oh well".....

now his family has to lay him to rest, to release those demons.

I have no idea. It happened 40 years ago. Obviously she had the resources to find one and to purchase it.

the first thunderbird wasn't built until 1955, how did she buy a 1951?

When I think about Robert Stack I remember him from the comedy "Airplane". He was so funny. So was Lloyd Bridges... The old serious actors who later on did comedies were fun to watch.

Leslie Nielson played a bad guy in the old days but he'll always be remembered for the Police Squad movies. "Nice beaver. Thanks, I just had it stuffed.".....still cracks me up...

I read the story wrong? All I know from what I read is that she took her money from The Waltons and paid for her College and bought a 1950s Thunderbird. The story also said that she became an English teacher.
