Jon was my favorite character on the Waltons. He was so gentle and sensitive; and a fabulous musician. Loved the episodes with him and Linda. I watch the Waltons every night. They keep me company, cuz I’m not a sleeper. Thank you so much Judy, Jon and Linda too. Keep ‘em coming.
@@judynorton2598 I understood he was born in England but came to the states as a baby, so grew up over here with an American accent, but has lived in both countries. I think Kami Colter told that in her blog on FB. I think with his parents from England and hearing them every day of his youth, he would have some of their accent. Between that and living some of his adulthood in England he would. He sounded to me he did not sound so much British but that his accent was kind of a blend probably because he lives in Cornwall now. We knew a British family that moved here when Delta Airlines transferred the father to Atlanta. One son was only 6 weeks old. You would hear a British accent in him when he read out loud as a kid. Lol, because his mom taught him how to read before he started to school. My daughter had a friend in high school who was Mexican American. She had a strong southern accent until she spoke Spanish lol! Then you would have thought she was born and raised in Mexico.
Jon is just so sweet. I love Linda Purl. I have seen a number of appearances she made over the years. I loved her in Matlock and was disappointed that she decided to leave the series. A few years ago I bought the first five seasons of the original Hawaii 5-0, and much to my delight, one of the guest stars was Linda. She must have been very young. She was adorable. She still has that baby face. She just doesn't seem to age. And I am so jealous that she's now with Bobby Ewing. 🤩🥰. I would love to hear Jon sing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to hear and see him perform his own material. I'm a singer and when I was at college, I was part of a folk group. Every Thursday we would hold a coffee house. It was such a nice experience. It was a place where everyone was welcome and anyone who wanted to sing, was welcome to do so. I have been singing since I was 7, I'm now 63. There is something magical about a person playing the guitar. I find it cozy and it harkens back to junior high school when my older brother was in a folk group, they named the group The Troubadours. I hope we get to see more videos with Jon. Thank you Judy for such a lovely video.
Hey judy I watched your movie no where to hide in tubi finally it was a good movie you did some great acting judy it was a very different role for you to play from what I've seen you play awesome acting did a phenomenal job love thrillers like that enjoyed your performance it was a good one
Yes a weekend John I've never watched gimme a break but that's awesome need to check it out the show she played a great villian indeed John that's awesome thanks for sharing man
What fun to see these two together after all these years and to know that they have remained friends. Thank you so much Judy for sharing all of these wonderful memories and new moments with us! 🤗
That was great!! They both look marvelous! And Jon has a British accent - that was a surprise to hear from Jason’s mouth 😆. Thank you Judy, Jon and Linda for the entertaining video!! 💗
I wish that they could've done this video in a much quieter venue instead of a public pub. I had a hard time hearing Linda and Jon's conversation. Other than that, they were awesome.
It's the first time I ever had to put on the closed captioning on a Judy TH-cam. It was almost impossible to hear a lot of what they were saying. The backgound pub noise seemed louder than Linda and Jon.
An absolute treat seeing them both and hearing what's been going on in their lives etc. I'm glad they are doing well and seem very happy. You never cease to amaze Judy. You bring them in one by one or in this case 2 at a time. I wonder if you could manage to get Richard Thomas to visit? Excellent!
Judy, first Jon Walmsley just sounds like someone I would really enjoy sitting down with. He has a marvelous sense of humor, great charm and just so humble. Nothing pretentious about him. I had NO idea he was British. He really pulls off an American accent perfectly. It was incredibly generous of them both to film this on their personal time and I thank them both. It was also generous of you and your son since I noticed the well placed clips when they talked about the episodes which obviously took time to edit and insert. So, thank you Judy for doing this for us fans! p.s. I took the time to see a few TH-cam clips of Jon's playing. He plays guitar incredibly well and he makes it look SO EASY! He both fingerpicks and also uses a pick which, as a beginner guitar player you tend to choose either because it's difficult to do both - but not for Jon. So much talent.
I took it the other way around. He pulls off a slight English accent (maybe he picked it up since he lives there now) but his American accent is real. His family left England when he was 2 years old so I doubt he had that accent growing up. But I may be wrong.... :)
@@cinapoowee7582 To my knowledge he would have to have been there in England til he was around 18 to have retained the British accent. I know he talked fully American on The Waltons.
@@cinapoowee7582 I suspect that's correct. A very close friend moved to England about 33 years ago and both he and his wife have picked up a (slight) English accent, but but they were in their early 20s at time of the move and speech patters are pretty much set by 12, maybe 14 at the outside. They did pick up word choices - obviously - but also idiomatic phrasing, which to my American ears is utterly charming. Of course the kids are fully native and really don't have an 'American' identity - why would they.
I only hear Jon’s British accent when he chooses. Although since being. back in England and around the accent all the time, likely easier to slip into again. I’ve always known Jon to slip in and out of the accent at will.
Tudo bem? So nice to see a fan of the show from Brazil! I was lucky enough to have visited there 3 times, and the country is just beautiful, and the people a joy to be around. Estou com muito saudes por o Brasil...
@@Jreb1865 thank u so.much! I have loved it during all my life! You are lucky.... u visited us 3 times...with these bad diseases now in the world...things are changing...but if u can...travel!
@@elilianinha I am 60 also and it was 20 years ago, so I was 40, but I'll never forget the beautiful country and the wonderful friends I made. I stayed in Serra Negra most of the time, as well as Saò Paulo. Portuguese is such a beautiful language. I'm so glad I had the chance to learn a little bit when I was younger...
Jon Wamsely was fantastic in "The Waltons" as Jason and his character was one of my favorites. Though I liked all the characters. Linda Purl was good in the episodes she was in.
Back in the 70's, I wanted to be Linda Purl, and I had a major crush on Jon W. Two of my favourites from the past! Thank you for sharing this with us Judy!
What a great episode Judy! You've outdone yourself... Their rendition of " I'll Fly Away " was simply beautiful and I can only imagine how he felt dunking a Martin guitar...lol His music on the show is always such a treat...
What a treat this was/is! Now, I knew that Mr. Walmsley was born in England and came to America as a youngster. I’m not surprised to see him there. What _is_ interesting is to hear him speaking with a London accent. Nowadays, there are several well known actors here in the States from England, Australia, and New Zealand who do a perfect American accent - so perfect that you’d never know they weren’t native born Americans. QUESTION: Did Walmsley have any kind of British accent during your time in _The Waltons?_ Or did he pick that up later?
Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Guy Pearce are all Aussies who manage to sound quite convincing as Yanks. Oh, Kate Beckinsale and Emily Blunt, too, who are British, I think, and have played Americans more than once.
It was so good to see that segment with Linda and Jon. I see Jon has picked up a bit of his English accent. I found it charming. Jason was always one of my favorite characters. He was mostly in the background but did a great job with the character. Have a blessed day Judy.
That was too cool! Linda Purl was one of my favorite guest stars on The Waltons. I also loved Kathleen Quinlan and Michael O’Keefe. Linda and Jon hanging out at a pub in England-awesome!
Ahh “genuine friendship” nice to see! Doesn’t seem possible that we have traveled so far down life’s road. Glad The Waltons were a part of my road! Thanks Judy!
I always loved Judy Norton (Mary Ellen)!! She was so beautiful and was a fabulous actress!! She still looks great now!! 😁❤️😘👍 I appreciate the like of the comment, but I'd like to hear it from Judy!! 😁❤️✌️
Judy, thank so much for these behind the scenes. I'm enjoying them so much ! I watched The Waltons growing up and loved it and still do 💕. I would always have dreams of being with you all.
Judy, I grew up with you....I love you so much....thank you so much for these video shows.....I'm so grateful for the re-runs...much happier times. Grateful for you too🤗
What a treat....as usual! In this whacky and upside world we now find ourselves in it's always uplifting and a joy to turn to the Walton's! Thanks Judy and to Jon and Linda!!
I can’t chose a favorite character. The Waltons had the perfect cast. Each character was well developed. I did have favorite episodes. I will say do miss Will Geer, as I’m sure everyone does.
I think Jon is as nice as he’s always seemed on or off the show. Linda looks really good. I remember both of those episodes. Good to see them, thanks Judy. ❤️
OMG, 😀 What an Honor to see the two of them together, there in England. They both look Absolutely, Terrific. I can't stop smiling. These two both still have that natural, chemistry. Thank you Judy for having them appear on your show, for all of your fans and their fans. What a special treat, today. They both were fan favorites on the Walton's. Linda should have made more appearances on the Walton's. And Jason Jon Walmsley, was always, a fan favorite. This was a great interview. Continued success to them both. Thank you Judy, for keeping all of us Walton's fans, up to date, on all of the wonderful cast members, of the Walton's. 👍🌷👍
Oh wow this is cool judy getting to do a interview with both of them after you just did a segment on that episode with the two of them when she breaks Jason heart and he falls in love with her this is awesome watching this with the two of them that's great they remain good friends that's awesome I remember that when Linda was a brat in the first episode she appeared in and she is trying to change John boy skills of writing and doesn't like how he writes already poor Jason getting dumped by Linda love hearing these and the memories great interview Jon Linda and judy thanks
Thank you Judy, Jon and Linda! Thoroughly enjoyed this reunion! I knew Jon was British, but it definitely was different to hear him speaking with a British accent.
He's probably got his accent from being in the UK long enough. I have a cousin and her family live in San Diego, and they have US accents now (she's English, husband Welsh!). Gillian Anderson also naturally changes her accent if she's in Britain and then US again when in the States
I remember the very first time I saw Linda Purl was in the Young Pioneers shows. I became an instant fan! Thank you Jon and Linda and Judy for sharing this special time with us! I always look forward to seeing what you have next for us! Judy …you’re beautiful as always!
Wow, this was great! I enjoyed seeing Jon and Linda. I remember watching those episodes with Linda Purl back when they originally aired. Linda was very pretty then and still is. I love to hear Jon play and sing. I will never forget the song ironing board blues while Grandma irons. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hey Judy. My brother was so in love with Linda purl...she was amazing actress....if my brother was alive ate now...Judy he will thank you over and over again....that's how much he loves Linda purl....love your channel Judy keep up the great work...because I'm not alone!!!!
What a treat this is! Love these two actors. Interesting how John's slight English accent comes through. So glad to see they are both doing well. Thanks Judy. 🥰
I obviously remember Jon from The Waltons, but also very fondly remember Linda from TV shows and movies in the seventies. It is so wonderful to see them both now all these years later.............and they both look fantastic!!! The very best to them both, and to you too Judy!!!
Great to see that Mr. Walmsley is still friends with Miss Purl despite what Vanessa pulled on Jason (and the boat mishap)! Since I recall him having had a strong US American accent away from the show beforehand , I imagine that being back in his homeland surrounded by other British accented speakers, that that has re-instated his once-dormant original English accent! Accents are funny ( think of Dr. Ruth STILL having a German accent in her 90's despite having left there when she was 10). Nice that these two are still active in the entertainment industry (despite the odds which include COVID) and that they were generous enough to film their chat for all of this! Thanks for this!
Thank you so much, Judy! Both John and Linda look fantastic...and of course, Linda had a remarkable career in the years that followed her appearance on the show. I do recall the boat incident - if we had only saved the outtakes! FYI - when we featured the "Lake" (our Drucilla's pond) we took into account that the actors just might come in contact with the water, and the entire pond was drained, cleaned, and re-filled for filming...in our case, Warner Brothers paid for the process as we were technically 'renting' the location which we used frequently. Wonderful memories.
Hi Judy I enjoyed watching this video of Linda and John sharing about the episode they were in.I 💘the song they sang fly away.Both of them are amazing actors.
I love how you have Linda Purl and Jon Walmsley on your behind the scenes. They are gifted actors. And they are really great singers . And Jon is a great musician as well.
First of all, every one of your videos is special! How lovely of Jason(Jon) and Vanessa (Linda) to share their memories with us fans! What a mishap with that boat! What a clever crew member to stuff the guitar w/ paper to absorb the water! You're both so charming! I notice all of you smile with your eyes! That sweet love that emanates from every cast member speaks to the wonder of The Walton's! Bless you all and Walton's fans everywhere. Thanks, Judy for all your work creating BTS and Ask Judy. 🧡🧡🧡
So funny that the fans remember Linda's accent on The Waltons and talk about Jon's in this interview. Linda is so natural talking with Jon, they truly are great friends. Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into their friendship. ❤️
Such an amazing treat to watch John and Linda. Such a lovely and talented duo. Great to have a catch-up with them both and see how they are doing in their respective lives. Thanks again Judy for bringing your channel to all of us Walton fans.
Thank You Ms. Norton for sharing this awesome meeting between Ms. Linda Purl & Mr. Jon Walmsley. Those were good episodes. I Love EVERYTHING About The Waltons.
Is it just me or all the men that played on the show just turned up to be so adorable. Even Tom Bower he went from being this handsome man and now he and Jon are both just adorable.🥰🥰🥰
What a treat seeing both Linda and Jon. They both seem so down to earth. John looks very dapper with his Irish/Scottish cap. Linda looks very cute with shorter hair. They were a joy to listen to. I know it would probably be very difficult but how cool would it be to have all of the remaining cast with you in one setting? There are very few shows from the past that I miss but The Waltons and M*A*S*H are at the very top.
My favorite and most memorable of all Linda Purl's many roles is that of the young wife in "The Young Pioneers", an ABC Movie of the Week, back in the 70's. The way she used to call her young husband, "Davy", in that movie was so endearing.
Wow, Judy, this was a great treat. I love both actors, they are so fresh and really awesome 👌. The background of the pub works so well, and fits perfectly. Such an awesome idea to bring this Walton memories to all of us. Many thanks 😊.
What a nice surprise! Didn't Peggy Rea play the landlord in the episode where Erin and Mary Ellen moved into there own apartment and then later take on the role as cousin Rose?
How cool was this! Thank you Jon and Linda for taking the time to record this wonderful visit! Love the pub venue! One of the many things I love about the Waltons is the enduring affection all the cast members have for each other. It's one of the secrets to the success of the series to be sure. Judy I just loved this edition of your video show. So endearing! Thank you!
I like the fact that I can hear John Walmsleys natural accent a little bit. I also live the fact that alot of characters played 2 different roles in the show. The first time I noticed was the gentleman that played col. Linville. He also played a different character that was to be married.
Amazing video with Jon and Linda with great insights. Did you know Judy that the little boat actually tipped over and did you see it happen? Thank you Judy so much!
That was wonderful to watch. Thanks Judy, Jon and Linda 😊 I'm very glad your guitar and pocket watch survived the dip Jon. Judy, I am a member on a fb page called "The Waltons". Just as I received the notification that you posted this video, I was commenting on a recent photo of David Harper. I had said I really wish you, Judy, could do a question/answer with David. I have always enjoyed watching him as well as the rest of you on the show over all these years. I will continue to wish for this ❤
There is a constant theme for me within these interviews and reflections and that is one of genuine goodness of the people involved. There was something truly special about this show, it's cast and it's crew. It cannot be explained away by the era in which it occurred. There are plenty of examples of troubled actors, both young and old, and troubled shows during the 70's and 80's. I think the quality of the cast and their continued support for the show throughout the decades is the key to it's continued popularity and loyal following. Thank you and please continue to provide these lovely videos for us all to enjoy.
Judy that was so nice to see, I never put the two characters of Linda’s together. I was so surprised to find out she was one of the kids in The Spoiler. What a great actress, I can still hear her, “Well, La-de dah” to Olivia. When an actor can get under the skin like she did with that particular character well that’s just great acting. So sweet to see John also, I can’t imagine how it must have felt like having Ralph get mad at you… glad the guitar was saved though. Here’s a question: how would the director, such as Ralph or Richard, director a scene if they themselves were in the scene? Did that ever complicate things or make it easier since the actor knew the family so well? Thanks again Judy, I might have missed one ore two, but I real do like being able to watch your videos. They send me on my day with something special that I can tuck away in my heart, making the day that much bearable. You have a great day and thank you again.🌸
Thank you so much for watching my videos. When an actor is also directing, it does add a bit of complexity, but it’s mostly on them to be prepared and confident that they are getting what they need and want when they are also in the scene. But, I think a definite advantage that they know the history and characters so well.
That was so cool! I love Linda Purl and she’s now in a relationship with Patrick Duffy, I have seen an interview with them, so cute! Thank you Judy, this was great!
Thank you Judy for sharing this segment of behind-the-scenes with John Wamsley and Linda. I was going to ask you at one point if Linda pearls accent was real and after watching this I know she did a great job with that accent. It was great to see both John and Linda together again. Did they ever do a duet together and do you have a video of that?
If Jon was born in the UK and came over to the US to do shows and stuff, when exactly did he come over? and while shooting the Waltons, I did not really pick up on it, but did he have an accent or use UK slang or words that would slip out during filming/between takes? Obviously he moved back to the UK, and can now hear more of his accent a bit. But thought I would ask
Not sure how old he was when he came to the US - but fairly young. He never had a noticeable English accent and didn’t let slang slip out - but he could drop into an accent at any moment.
The Waltons taught me so much..my dad died when I was a toddler. I was left w some very evil ppls. I learned how life should be. I am so lucky to have grown up when TV was good. My imagination of being a Walton kid got me through some very traumatic times. Thank u for this channel..I love u all.
I watched a good Walton episode the other day sad but good it's called the victims where he husband abused his wife cause he messed up in the mind from the war the war messed him up and he beat a his wife and Erin Mary Ellen try to help her it's a good one turns out good at the end
True - external noise, but I’m just grateful they were willing to take the time to shoot this for me. If you put on captions you might catch more of it.
Thank you in no way is this meant to be critical, I know that Jon is busy as is Linda in her tour with Patrick Duffy. I certainly thank them for taking the time with due respect the captions offten are incorrect and the suggestion about putting the phone in a glass doesn't help the ambient noise. Not a complaint just an observation always enjoy looking back on a great show like The Waltons
@@kenhahn5544 No worries :) As for captions - I actually go through them all to make corrections. I don't use the TH-cam auto generated ones. Although whenever two people are talking, it's trickier to properly track the captions so it's clear how the conversation flowed when it overlapped.

Jon can pop in and out of his British accent.

Nowadays, there are several well known actors here in the States from England, Australia, and New Zealand who do a perfect American accent - so perfect that you’d never know they weren’t native born Americans.
QUESTION:
Did Walmsley have any kind of British accent during your time in _The Waltons?_ Or did he pick that up later?
Good question ⁉️
Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Guy Pearce are all Aussies who manage to sound quite convincing as Yanks. Oh, Kate Beckinsale and Emily Blunt, too, who are British, I think, and have played Americans more than once.
@@basilmarasco1975 Don't forget Hugh Laurie and his impeccable American 🏈 accent on House!
I was wondering about the accent myself! He sounded so perfectly "country" on the show, I never picked up on the accent before!
Jon never had an English accent during The Waltons.
It was so good to see that segment with Linda and Jon. I see Jon has picked up a bit of his English accent. I found it charming. Jason was always one of my favorite characters. He was mostly in the background but did a great job with the character. Have a blessed day Judy.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the duet they did on the show
They were wonderful together.
Love Linda Purl, she is a lovely person ❤️
She sure is.
That was too cool! Linda Purl was one of my favorite guest stars on The Waltons. I also loved Kathleen Quinlan and Michael O’Keefe. Linda and Jon hanging out at a pub in England-awesome!
Such fun to see them.
Ahh “genuine friendship” nice to see! Doesn’t seem possible that we have traveled so far down life’s road. Glad The Waltons were a part of my road!
Thanks Judy!
Hard to believe so many years have passed.
Ladies love Jon and he's so smooth and handsome.
I always loved Judy Norton (Mary Ellen)!! She was so beautiful and was a fabulous actress!! She still looks great now!! 😁❤️😘👍 I appreciate the like of the comment, but I'd like to hear it from Judy!! 😁❤️✌️
Thank you so much.
@@judynorton2598 Your so welcome, I grew up watching The Walton's, was one of my favorite shows! 😁
Jon was drinking warm English beer like he was enjoying it.
Now THAT was some great acting! Haha.
Thanks Judy
lol
Judy, thank so much for these behind the scenes. I'm enjoying them so much ! I watched The Waltons growing up and loved it and still do 💕. I would always have dreams of being with you all.
So glad you are enjoying these
Judy, I grew up with you....I love you so much....thank you so much for these video shows.....I'm so grateful for the re-runs...much happier times.
Grateful for you too🤗
Thank you so much.
What a treat....as usual! In this whacky and upside world we now find ourselves in it's always uplifting and a joy to turn to the Walton's! Thanks Judy and to Jon and Linda!!
So happy to hear that.
Wow,Linda is a icon,she was the 80s..
She was In so many shows..
Thank you for reminding me of Her..
She’s had a wonderful career.
I can’t chose a favorite character. The Waltons had the perfect cast. Each character was well developed. I did have favorite episodes. I will say do miss Will Geer, as I’m sure everyone does.
So happy to hear that
That's what pubs are for, to have a drink and reminisce with friends. Very enjoyable to watch Judy and I'm looking forward to more Mary.
Fun to be "flies on the wall" for their visit :)
I think Jon is as nice as he’s always seemed on or off the show. Linda looks really good. I remember both of those episodes. Good to see them, thanks Judy. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
OMG, 😀 What an Honor to see the two of them together, there in England. They both look Absolutely, Terrific. I can't stop smiling. These two both still have that natural, chemistry. Thank you Judy for having them appear on your show, for all of your fans and their fans. What a special treat, today. They both were fan favorites on the Walton's. Linda should have made more appearances on the Walton's. And Jason Jon Walmsley, was always, a fan favorite. This was a great interview. Continued success to them both. Thank you Judy, for keeping all of us Walton's fans, up to date, on all of the wonderful cast members, of the Walton's. 👍🌷👍
So happy to hear that
Judy!! You are my hero :-D this is so awesome!!
Wow, thank you!
It's great to see what actors look like and are up to all these years later. Thanks Judy,love your videos. keep up the good work 🖖👌👍
So glad you enjoyed this
How lovely it is to see the two of them, thank you, John and Linda! Thank you, also, Judy! 💐
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Judy, Linda and Jon💐Nice to see you all!!
Thanks for watching
Oh wow this is cool judy getting to do a interview with both of them after you just did a segment on that episode with the two of them when she breaks Jason heart and he falls in love with her this is awesome watching this with the two of them that's great they remain good friends that's awesome I remember that when Linda was a brat in the first episode she appeared in and she is trying to change John boy skills of writing and doesn't like how he writes already poor Jason getting dumped by Linda love hearing these and the memories great interview Jon Linda and judy thanks
So glad you enjoyed this.
Sure did judy great interview indeed
Thank you Judy, Jon and Linda! Thoroughly enjoyed this reunion! I knew Jon was British, but it definitely was different to hear him speaking with a British accent.
Back to his roots.
He's probably got his accent from being in the UK long enough. I have a cousin and her family live in San Diego, and they have US accents now (she's English, husband Welsh!).
Gillian Anderson also naturally changes her accent if she's in Britain and then US again when in the States
I remember the very first time I saw Linda Purl was in the Young Pioneers shows. I became an instant fan! Thank you Jon and Linda and Judy for sharing this special time with us! I always look forward to seeing what you have next for us! Judy …you’re beautiful as always!
She was also "Gloria" on "Happy Days."
Thank you so much
Wow, this was great! I enjoyed seeing Jon and Linda. I remember watching those episodes with Linda Purl back when they originally aired. Linda was very pretty then and still is. I love to hear Jon play and sing. I will never forget the song ironing board blues while Grandma irons. Thanks for sharing this with us.
So glad you enjoyed it
Such a treat to watch Linda and Jons interaction with each other, their friendship shines through.
We are so fortunate in the life-long friendships we've formed.
Hey Judy. My brother was so in love with Linda purl...she was amazing actress....if my brother was alive ate now...Judy he will thank you over and over again....that's how much he loves Linda purl....love your channel Judy keep up the great work...because I'm not alone!!!!
You are very welcome
What a treat this is! Love these two actors. Interesting how John's slight English accent comes through. So glad to see they are both doing well. Thanks Judy. 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it
I obviously remember Jon from The Waltons, but also very fondly remember Linda from TV shows and movies in the seventies. It is so wonderful to see them both now all these years later.............and they both look fantastic!!! The very best to them both, and to you too Judy!!!
So fun to see them together,
Great to see that Mr. Walmsley is still friends with Miss Purl despite what Vanessa pulled on Jason (and the boat mishap)! Since I recall him having had a strong US American accent away from the show beforehand , I imagine that being back in his homeland surrounded by other British accented speakers, that that has re-instated his once-dormant original English accent! Accents are funny ( think of Dr. Ruth STILL having a German accent in her 90's despite having left there when she was 10). Nice that these two are still active in the entertainment industry (despite the odds which include COVID) and that they were generous enough to film their chat for all of this! Thanks for this!
Very true on all counts :)
As the Baldwin sisters would say......."What a treat"!!! Thank you💖
🥰
Thank you so much, Judy! Both John and Linda look fantastic...and of course, Linda had a remarkable career in the years that followed her appearance on the show. I do recall the boat incident - if we had only saved the outtakes! FYI - when we featured the "Lake" (our Drucilla's pond) we took into account that the actors just might come in contact with the water, and the entire pond was drained, cleaned, and re-filled for filming...in our case, Warner Brothers paid for the process as we were technically 'renting' the location which we used frequently. Wonderful memories.
Great to know this John. I had no idea they actually took the care to try to keep the pond as healthy as a possible.
What a joy. Jon looks happy and Linda is pretty as ever.
🥰
Just delightful and so nostalgic.
Love seeing the two of them together again.
Hi Judy I enjoyed watching this video of Linda and John sharing about the episode they were in.I 💘the song they sang fly away.Both of them are amazing actors.
They are indeed both amazing.
Wow! This is awesome! Hi everyone. 👋 👋 👋 Thanks for sharing this Judy. 👍🏻 🥂
Thanks for watching.
I love how you have Linda Purl and Jon Walmsley on your behind the scenes. They are gifted actors. And they are really great singers . And Jon is a great musician as well.
I agree - two very talented artists.
First of all, every one of your videos is special! How lovely of Jason(Jon) and Vanessa (Linda) to share their memories with us fans! What a mishap with that boat! What a clever crew member to stuff the guitar w/ paper to absorb the water! You're both so charming! I notice all of you smile with your eyes! That sweet love that emanates from every cast member speaks to the wonder of The Walton's! Bless you all and Walton's fans everywhere. Thanks, Judy for all your work creating BTS and Ask Judy. 🧡🧡🧡
So happy to know you’re enjoying these
So funny that the fans remember Linda's accent on The Waltons and talk about Jon's in this interview. Linda is so natural talking with Jon, they truly are great friends. Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into their friendship. ❤️
So glad you enjoyed this.
Great video. I'd love to see a video of Jon playing the guitar he is one of the reasons I started playing guitar.
Cool!
Wow...Same here..lol Bought a new set of strings yesterday and fixing to put them on inna few...
Nice reunion in England.
Such an amazing treat to watch John and Linda. Such a lovely and talented duo. Great to have a catch-up with them both and see how they are doing in their respective lives.
Thanks again Judy for bringing your channel to all of us Walton fans.
Thanks so much for watching
Thank You Ms. Norton for sharing this awesome meeting between Ms. Linda Purl & Mr. Jon Walmsley. Those were good episodes. I Love EVERYTHING About The Waltons.
So glad you enjoyed it.
What an absolute treat! It was so fun seeing them reminiscing. Thank you Judy for finding new ways to bring back THE WALTONS to us all!
So happy to hear that
Is it just me or all the men that played on the show just turned up to be so adorable. Even Tom Bower he went from being this handsome man and now he and Jon are both just adorable.🥰🥰🥰
They are indeed adorable:-)
@@judynorton2598 sorry they are still both handsome🥰🥰
What a treat seeing both Linda and Jon. They both seem so down to earth. John looks very dapper with his Irish/Scottish cap. Linda looks very cute with shorter hair. They were a joy to listen to. I know it would probably be very difficult but how cool would it be to have all of the remaining cast with you in one setting? There are very few shows from the past that I miss but The Waltons and M*A*S*H are at the very top.
So glad you enjoyed this
My favorite and most memorable of all Linda Purl's many roles is that of the young wife in "The Young Pioneers", an ABC Movie of the Week, back in the 70's. The way she used to call her young husband, "Davy", in that movie was so endearing.
Have always loved her work in everything she does.
Wow, Judy, this was a great treat. I love both actors, they are so fresh and really awesome 👌. The background of the pub works so well, and fits perfectly.
Such an awesome idea to bring this Walton memories to all of us. Many thanks 😊.
Such a treat to have them together
Thank You Judy!😊😊😊👏🏾
You are so welcome
What a nice surprise!
Didn't Peggy Rea play the landlord in the episode where Erin and Mary Ellen moved into there own apartment and then later take on the role as cousin Rose?
You are correct.
I loved watching Jon and Linda talking in a pub. They are two of my favorite people
I agree.
How cool was this! Thank you Jon and Linda for taking the time to record this wonderful visit! Love the pub venue! One of the many things I love about the Waltons is the enduring affection all the cast members have for each other. It's one of the secrets to the success of the series to be sure. Judy I just loved this edition of your video show. So endearing! Thank you!
Thank you so much. We feel so fortunate to have these enduring relationships
It is so nice to see them together again. Linda and Jon look wonderful.
Thank you both and Judy .💕
Thanks for watching.
@@judynorton2598 you are welcome Judy. Hope you are having a wonderful day.☀️
Love this, just great!
Yay!
I like the fact that I can hear John Walmsleys natural accent a little bit. I also live the fact that alot of characters played 2 different roles in the show. The first time I noticed was the gentleman that played col. Linville. He also played a different character that was to be married.
Yes, we did have a number of actors play two different roles.
This was great ! Thank You Judy !! 💖
You are so welcome!
@@judynorton2598 🥰
For me what drew me to watch this is when I stumbled across Judy, and every time I think I have a favorite it changes. So many kids and so talanted
I understand :) Thanks for watching
Amazing video with Jon and Linda with great insights. Did you know Judy that the little boat actually tipped over and did you see it happen? Thank you Judy so much!
I don’t know if I was there when it tipped over - I don’t remember that.
Wow! It's great to see them ,after 45 years!!! Thanks Judy!!!
Amazing how much time has passed...
Super cool seeing all of you in your current state of fabulous ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you Judy that was absolutely a treat seeing those two
So glad you enjoyed it
That was wonderful to watch. Thanks Judy, Jon and Linda 😊
I'm very glad your guitar and pocket watch survived the dip Jon.
Judy, I am a member on a fb page called "The Waltons". Just as I received the notification that you posted this video, I was commenting on a recent photo of David Harper.
I had said I really wish you, Judy, could do a question/answer with David. I have always enjoyed watching him as well as the rest of you on the show over all these years. I will continue to wish for this ❤
I have also mentioned that I would love to see an interview with David Harper. I will continue to wish for this also!
Glad you enjoyed this. I’ll check in with David.
@@judynorton2598 Thanks Judy! Please tell David that he has a lot of fans that would be thrilled if he would agree to it!
@@judynorton2598 thank you.
Either way I hope he is well 💗
It was great seeing both jon and linda...thanks to both of you
So nice of them to take the time.
Thank you! Please tell Jon to not be a stranger ;-) and film some clips for you and us.
Such a treat. Loved when Linda played Pam's mother on The Office. Jon looks like such an english gent.
Such a talented pair.
There is a constant theme for me within these interviews and reflections and that is one of genuine goodness of the people involved. There was something truly special about this show, it's cast and it's crew. It cannot be explained away by the era in which it occurred. There are plenty of examples of troubled actors, both young and old, and troubled shows during the 70's and 80's. I think the quality of the cast and their continued support for the show throughout the decades is the key to it's continued popularity and loyal following. Thank you and please continue to provide these lovely videos for us all to enjoy.
🙋♀️ VERY GOOD COMMENT ! ✌🙏 TO YOU , FELLOW WALTON SUPER FAN !!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We all feel very fortunate.
This was so nice to see Linda and Jon Thank You Judy threw you we have a great part of our history growing up with the Waltons.
So glad you enjoyed it.
This was so wonderful. I've been hoping that you would be able to have Jon Walmsley on as a guest sometime. Thank you to all 3.
Our pleasure.
Jon and Linda look like they're enjoying each other's company. I love your channel ,Judy
They do appear to be enjoying themselves:-)
Too bad it is not the dew drop inn:)
😎
Linda Purl seems so nice! She did so much TV back in the day. She was everywhere!.
True. I’ve always loved her work.
Judy that was so nice to see, I never put the two characters of Linda’s together. I was so surprised to find out she was one of the kids in The Spoiler. What a great actress, I can still hear her, “Well, La-de dah” to Olivia. When an actor can get under the skin like she did with that particular character well that’s just great acting.
So sweet to see John also, I can’t imagine how it must have felt like having Ralph get mad at you… glad the guitar was saved though.
Here’s a question: how would the director, such as Ralph or Richard, director a scene if they themselves were in the scene? Did that ever complicate things or make it easier since the actor knew the family so well?
Thanks again Judy, I might have missed one ore two, but I real do like being able to watch your videos. They send me on my day with something special that I can tuck away in my heart, making the day that much bearable.
You have a great day and thank you again.🌸
Thank you so much for watching my videos.
When an actor is also directing, it does add a bit of complexity, but it’s mostly on them to be prepared and confident that they are getting what they need and want when they are also in the scene. But, I think a definite advantage that they know the history and characters so well.
That was so cool! I love Linda Purl and she’s now in a relationship with Patrick Duffy, I have seen an interview with them, so cute! Thank you Judy, this was great!
So cool!
Thank you Judy for sharing this segment of behind-the-scenes with John Wamsley and Linda. I was going to ask you at one point if Linda pearls accent was real and after watching this I know she did a great job with that accent. It was great to see both John and Linda together again. Did they ever do a duet together and do you have a video of that?
They sang together in The Heartbreaker episode and have done shows together - but I don’t have any video of that.
We were so blessed to have had you all in our homes. God Bless!
Thanks for watching.
If Jon was born in the UK and came over to the US to do shows and stuff, when exactly did he come over? and while shooting the Waltons, I did not really pick up on it, but did he have an accent or use UK slang or words that would slip out during filming/between takes? Obviously he moved back to the UK, and can now hear more of his accent a bit. But thought I would ask
Not sure how old he was when he came to the US - but fairly young. He never had a noticeable English accent and didn’t let slang slip out - but he could drop into an accent at any moment.
The Waltons taught me so much..my dad died when I was a toddler. I was left w some very evil ppls. I learned how life should be. I am so lucky to have grown up when TV was good. My imagination of being a Walton kid got me through some very traumatic times. Thank u for this channel..I love u all.
Thank you so much for sharing what The Waltons meant to you. I'm so glad we were able to make things better for you.
I watched a good Walton episode the other day sad but good it's called the victims where he husband abused his wife cause he messed up in the mind from the war the war messed him up and he beat a his wife and Erin Mary Ellen try to help her it's a good one turns out good at the end
Another tough subject taken on by The Waltons.
Yes it was judy very tough it ended well though which was great judy
I have been watching a marathon of The Waltons on the Hallmark channel. What a great show !
Thank you.
Lovely people but probably not the best choice of venue for an interview very difficult to hear
I've heard that if you put your phone in a glass the volume will be louder. Hope this is helpful 😊
True - external noise, but I’m just grateful they were willing to take the time to shoot this for me. If you put on captions you might catch more of it.
Thank you in no way is this meant to be critical, I know that Jon is busy as is Linda in her tour with Patrick Duffy. I certainly thank them for taking the time with due respect the captions offten are incorrect and the suggestion about putting the phone in a glass doesn't help the ambient noise. Not a complaint just an observation always enjoy looking back on a great show like The Waltons
@@kenhahn5544 No worries :) As for captions - I actually go through them all to make corrections. I don't use the TH-cam auto generated ones. Although whenever two people are talking, it's trickier to properly track the captions so it's clear how the conversation flowed when it overlapped.
That is so awesome to see the both of them. Great actors.
Thanks for watching.
