All these interviews have taken the Waltons to a new dimension. I don’t think any other series has had so much explanation and looking at the depth of the characters. Thank you Judy.
You’re so right..Judy as opened up a world to us about The Waltons in depth. No one else has ever done this I don’t believe. I’ve learned so very much about filming and acting.I’m eternally grateful to her. ❤️
I love the Walton's. I still watch reruns . I could relate to Mary Ellen, loved her character. I especially like the family unity & history . Thank you. 25:06
Great segment, Judy. Please thank Patsy for reaching out and coming on as a guest. I love hearing the stories of guest stars and the big picture of their lives. Wow...that plane crash. Glad everyone was okay.
Thank you, Patsy, for reaching out to Judy to make this episode happen. You’re a delight! I’m surprised at how many actors went on to have other careers outside of acting. Y’all are just wonderful humans! Mary
Your many guests, including Patsy, are so appreciated, Judy; thank you. It's wonderful to have first person accounts that add depth to the making of The Waltons.
David Harper is such a good actor and this was a standout for The Waltons and David Harper.I think this episode, along with the one he finds out he had a twin brother. So emotional. This episode kind of reminds me of the coming of age movie, Summer of ‘42. Not exactly similar but the young wife of soldier away at war.
@@judynorton2598 Thanks Judy. I remember this episode in spots. John told Jim that he had to stop seeing her, since she was married; that it could only end badly. But poor Jim was pretty much smitten (or in love) and told Dad that he couldn't or wouldn't. Then the end came abruptly (though I forget how or why) and Jim told Dad that he realized now that he (Dad) had been right, because he (Jim) had lost his heart to the married lady by persisting in their acquaintance and that getting over it would now be painful. Not nearly as sad as John Boy and Jenny but still fairly sad. I have to call him "Jim", as I really suspect that Jim-Bob Walton (if not David Harper) must have gotten very tired of the nickname. The writers should have upgraded Jim-Bob to "James Robert." That would have been so much better.
Thank you, Patsy, for reaching out to Judy. The Silver Wings is one of my favorite episodes, as I saw myself as Jim Bob. It is quite touching. I really enjoyed hearing Patsy’s perspective about her character and the filming of the episode.
First time hearing of Patsy Rahn but I'm glad she is also a poet and prose writer. It's good to know many actors pursued other creative endeavors other than acting.
Absolutely. The majority of actors go on to other work - or supplement their acting with side jobs. Very hard to make a living as an actor - very few manage to do it over the long haul.
It's so wonderful that you give us glimpses of what it was like working on The Waltons, and especially when we get the perspective of some of your amazing co-stars
I love these segments with interviews of guest stars. I'm hoping that some day soon you can get Robert Woods (David Spencer) or Deidre Lenihan (Daisy Garner) to share their experiences on the show.
Thank you so much Patsy as I LOVED hearing your perspective. You and David made such a wonderful couple and it's a shame that we were only able to see you in this one episode.
A huge THANK YOU to Patsy for reaching out and doing this BTSOTW episode!😁 That incident with the stalling plane/ crash landing must have been scary indeed!!😨 It was great hearing from you and learning more about ALL of your artistic endeavors! 📖🎨🎭 You're certainly a talented lady, and this community is truly GRATEFUL for your contribution to Judy's channel.🙏❤ (Judy, you just keep SPOILING US! Please... don't...Stop... Please don't stop! 🚫🛑😉😁)
Patsy is a very charming and obviously talented and creative lady! Any Walton guest I've seen interviewed here and elsewhere always has wonderful things to say about being on the show and spending time with the regular actors. This is quite a phenomenal, yet certainly believable testimonial from these visiting actors. I'm certainly not surprised; I've always loved The Waltons! Thanks again, Judy!
How enjoyable the visit with Patsy Rahn was! Her recollection of Silver Wings was very interesting and it was a delight to see what she is doing now! Thanks for having her!
How scary for Miss Rahn to have had to witness a near crash of that plane- starting literally over her head! And, yet, the camera operator just seemed to shrug it off as 'a day's work' in spite of how rough the glide-landing wound up being! Yeah, it's not just performers who have often risked it all to provide entertainment on film,etc.! Happy to hear that she had liked the show before and that, despite that scary near-crash overhead, she had had a fulfilling time performing in that episode even though she didn't get to perform with the entire regular cast! Thanks for hosting her and bringing us that interview!
I hope you don't my adding that it's a testament to the scriptwriters and Miss Rahn herself that the character of Betsy stayed sympathetic and likable throughout the entire episode- even factoring in that she was a married woman who had befriended a teen boy (and had a not-entirely dowdy wardrobe). It could have easily veered into either belittling Betsy or becoming tasteless but the class was kept throughout and even though the bond ended sadly with Betsy finding herself widowed and shattered with Jim-Bob consoling her. However, knowing that with his youth and her fresh widowhood neither were in the best frame to attempt to take it any further and they'd have to part ways before too long, it still seemed as though the bond had ultimately bettered each of them. And I credit Miss Rahm for helping make Betsy into a deeper character that the viewers could care- not every performer could have been successful at doing so even with the script! Again, thanks for this!
Thank you patsy. You did a great job of explaining the outfits which really helped me to understand why those out fits were chosen. It’s great that you reached out to Judy to do this segment with us. When I was younger we all went to the same church and my cousins mom was a deacons wife she was outside working in the garden and saw the pastor and his wife coming for a visit and because she was in shorts she ran in the house and quickly changed. By you explaining your costume I understand now why she changed and why they chose the costumes for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about your brief roll on the Walton’s.
Beautiful lady 🔥😉 all around Patsy Rahn, and still are to this day. I enjoyed watching and listening to your experiences. Especially having been involved with “The Waltons” at one point. Wishing you all the best in the future. And Hello Judy. Thank you once again for your amazing videos. 💚💙💛❤️🙏🏻😇
Pasty Rahn was a excellant actress.I loved her in airplane episode.She did a good job in the plane with the plane doing some fantastic flying.I appreciate you Pasty for sharing how this episode was filmed.
This was my favorite with Jim Bob having the lead. He wasn't able to fight his feelings for the beautiful but married Patsy, who was the perfect actress to play Betsy. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him even though John had warned him. What a great interview, thank you Judy and Patsy!
Great to see Patsy and hear how much she enjoyed her time on The Waltons. I don't think I have ever heard any of the guest stars say anything other than what an amazing time they had with everyone involved. I definitely would not want to be under a plane when you hear the engines cut out! Great story and great episode.
Judy I love your channel it’s a small piece of my childhood that stays hidden away in my heart, they remind me of such simple times in my childhood where common sense was the norm. These shows take me back there. I remember this episode it was a great one. God bless from Texas.
The Silver Wings episode was on Lifetime tonight, which I thoroughly enjoyed and vaguely remember watching as a child. I decided to look up some details about it after watching. Thank you Patsy and than you Judy for this spectacular dimension that gives us all a new perspective due to the expanse of elapsed time. Very nice. Keep up the good work!
It’s lovely that Ms. Rahn and you, Judy, as so many of your Waltons colleagues graciously offer your time and care to share your memories and updates on how you are doing. All sustain and grow the family feelings of The Waltons. Thank you! I hope you all feel the good will, warmth and respectful, sincere regard you’ve offered others being reflected back to you. Also thanks, Judy, for the longer interview. It’s nice to hear an extended conversation
Great interview. I watched the show religiously throughout its run and this episode has always stood out in my memory. I was in college at the time and quite a few college guys were smitten with Patsy in that episode.
Your ever evolving TH-cam channel has taken us to new heights, with these interviews from actors who were guests on the Walton's. I see Patsy in a whole new light thanks to this longer than usual segment. Patsy if your reading this thanks for coming on and sharing your memories. Nice to hear how you reinvented yourself over the years and persud different interests and education. Are you still in southern California? I guess Id find that out by googling your name. Just had to chime in. Thank again Judy hope your other guest stars out there reach out to you, we would love to hear from them, no part to small when your were part of the Walton's legacy. Well hang on your every word guaranteed ! ; )
One of my favorite episodes. The fact that so many guest stars that you’ve interviewed reflect back on their time on the Waltons as one of their best jobs speaks volumes for the cast and crew.
Hi Judy! Thank you so much to Patsy for sharing all these wonderful stories with us :) thank you Judy for having her come on your channel! It’s so great hearing from Patsy and I love the silver wings episode. One of my favorite parts is where Jimbob came to be there for Betsy when she heard the news that her husband died- Jimbob was so sweet and wonderful. I loved watching this video ❤ and I hope you have an amazing day! Love, Jamie ~ huge Waltons fan ✨
Love listening to Patsy's recollections and love watching these videos of such a great show. I also remember Patsy for her few years on General Hospital.
I love all of your shows & interviews Judy, but this one is one of my favorites and thank you Patsy!! Two of my favorite shows back in the second half of the 1970's when I was a teenage boy was The Waltons and General Hospital, actually I still watch both shows today. I especially loved "The Silver Wings" episode when I first saw it, because I already adored Patsy Rahn and knew what a talented actress she was, she was the original Dr. Monica Quartermaine on General Hospital in 1976 and 1977! Thank you Patsy for sharing your memories, your photography artwork and for letting us know what you are doing now!
Gosh that's how old I am wow over 50 years ago . I still miss watching the Waltons you where like my family who came to my home. And I miss you still visiting my home , all of you x
I enjoy these reminiscing episodes. Yes, as someone else suggested, please have Patsy back again so she can share more details of her actual acting on the episode she starred in of The Waltons. The personal interactions etc.. would be nice to hear about too. Judy, maybe i missed it, but you need to have one of your siblings from The Waltons do an interview of you! I want to know more about your life since your acting career ended. 😀 You need interviewed dear friend. Thanks!!! 🙌
What a delightful conversation! Thank you Judy and Patsy! I loved that episode. I can remember MaryEllen wearing real short shorts in the “Dust Bowl Cousins” as well.
Thank you Judy and Patsy for taking your time for this interview. I watched this Waltons episode yesterday and I really enjoyed it! The arts are so important!!!! Thank you again Judy and Patsy for your generosity and kindness!
What a harrowing story to begin with! Who would have thought there would be possible danger in filming the Waltons?! 😁 Judy, how "cool" that Patsy reached out to you! And Patsy, I'm so glad you did - you were a delight to listen to! I always love hearing people's stories about their lives - especially aspects that we would never know about if not for great interviews like this. And thank you for sharing your photography with us - fascinating! Judy, I hope more people reach out to you - I love these wonderful interviews with people who have such fond memories of sometimes just ONE episode they did with the Waltons!
Thanks for another interesting behind the scenes video about 'The Waltons,' Judy and Patsy. I love these kind of episodes! Keep up the great work, Judy.
Thank you, Judy, for doing this. I love it when the guest actors come back and talk to you!! Hopefully, we will see some more of these in the near future. :)
Silver Wings was an awesome episode. Patsy was very beautiful in it. Also, what an amazing acting job she did. The episode aired in 1979. Being 62 now I was around Jim Bob's age at that time. Heck I was in love with Patsy (Betsy) when seeing the episode. Definitely one of my all-time favorite Walton's episodes. Kind of sad that the Betsy Character she played moved on at the end of the episode. If I had been Jim Bob, I would not have ever let her go :) Thank you, Judy, for doing these episode follow-ups and interviews! Thank you, Patsy, for doing this interview! Totally awesome all!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Waltons, Patsy! It was interesting to hear your perspective as a guest actor, as well as where your career took you. Thanks to you too, Judy!
love your painting was one of my favourite episodes so well done wish they would make shows like this today so holism,family values she was so good in general hospital
Patsy, thank you for appearing on the show. I already checked out your photography website. You really have great talent at this. I was really impressed. I think you have the right attitude about acting. You loved it and when you got tired of it, you moved on. One thing I learned from Judy is that acting is a very fickle business and your lifespan is often short no matter how talented you are. Judy - thank you for again making my Monday. This might be a surprise - but I don't have a question :)
Very interesting what went on behind the scenes while we waited every thursday night to watch The Waltons. That was my favorite day of the week as a kid because of looking forward to watching The Waltons in the evening.
I really enjoyed this segment with Patsy. It seemed like it was recently this episode was on. I thought how cute Patsy was. I liked the outfits she wore. I was in high school @ the time & in the summer my friends & I were wearing those type of outfits( halter tops). I wondered about how much difference in age Patsy was to David. Thanks again for doing these Behind the Scenes, Judy! So interesting & fun!
Thanks for this, Ms. Norton! Wonderful that you followed up with Ms. Rahn after she checked in with you. The actor from the Canadian show "Police Surgeon" that Ms. Rahn couldn't recall was likely Sam Groom, the show's lead, who was a prolific guest star on American television, mostly on one-hour dramas during the heyday of over-the-air broadcasting.
@@judynorton2598 -- You're welcome. Always glad to be of assistance. As you've noted before in your posts, viewers often notice and remember everything.
Police Surgeon was a fairly high profile show on the private national network CTV. It was syndicated in the US as Dr Simon Locke. I saw an episode not too long ago on Retro TV.
I’m so glad you talked about the wardrobe! It’s something I questioned watching this episode. I also love hearing the evolution of actors after the Walton’s…. Pasty, your life sounds so wonderful and free! Kudos to you! And thank you, Judy, for another great behind the scenes! Side note: Will you be having Martha Nix on? I asked her about it in Lincoln IL. she mentioned you had asked her once but nothing came of it… She has such a great story!
Wow, Judy!! This is Amazing!! Patsy thank you so MUCH for your exciting stories. This episode is one of my favorites and it is so wonderful to share your time with all of us. I often wondered why we didn't see you again after the Waltons you are clearly a very gifted actress, but I am happy you were able to find your love in life. Judy you blow me away with each episode! Thank you for your time and consideration for the fan's you have no idea how much it means that you care. Thank you again Patsy and Judy enjoy the rest of your day hope to see you again soon Patsy you are looking wonderful. 🥰
OMG, the plane engines cutting out would be my worse nightmare. Having said that, I'm sure I read somewhere that when an old plane like that does a loop the loop, the engines are deprived of fuel when upside down hence they cut out but start up again once the fuel is fed back into the engines however, as far as I know, the engines have to regain fuel supply again within a very small and short time window/frame otherwise it could be catastrophic and they could completely stall so the pilot really needs to be at the top of his/her game and competent. Thank you Judy for a great segment and best wishes to you from your waltonian superfan in a very mild England😉
Thank you for this…how interesting to hear this behind the scenes of one of a very interesting episode. David did an amazing job …it’s so wonderful to hear from guest stars about their experience on the show.😊
Thank you Patsy for coming on judys show and giving this great interview. How much i enjoyed listening to your best stories on the show. I hope judy will have you back on again. ❤
I remember Miss Rahn from GENERAL HOSPITAL. She was the very first Monica Webber (Quartermaine)! Monica's husband...MacGiver himself, Richard Dean Anderson!!! X
I just watched this episode today. Funny thing, when I was watching I thought something went amiss with the airplane, and I really hoped it wouldn’t crash. I didn’t think it would because I knew Jim Bob was still in the show. These interviews shed light on things we miss or things we notice, but don’t know why we notice if that makes sense. I wondered about her clothing as well. I don’t remember this episode but by 1979 I was 21 and had other things going on in my life other than TV. I’m really glad to be watching/rewatching this series. I’m getting much more out of it at 60 something rather than in my teens. Keep up the good work, Judy!
This episode hit close to home for me. Like Jim Bob I as a teen also fell in love with a slightly older married woman whose husband was over seas in the service. Like Jim Bob I also was heartbroken but let down gently. Great episode.
It's a treat and "nice to meet you " to a major character star from her very short film career?? And yes she was beautiful and almost as hot as Mary Ellen was way back in the day back then... 😀
Patsy was delightful. Thank you, Judy. So cool hearing about her experiences and life now with photography and poetry. Will definitely look her up and enjoy even more about her life now. Thank you, Waltons, once again❤
Indeed what a special woman played the special character of Maude! I really enjoy the behind the scenes recaps! Thank you Judy! I appreciate you! Much love 💕
Glad Patsy reached out to you for an interview. Interesting woman. It was courageous of her to choose different career paths after acting. Patsy’s photography is fascinating. Hope other actors that were on the show contact you for an interview so we can see what they’ve been up to and get their perspective about being on The Waltons.
I think she had other innate talents. This does not always exist with other actors. I like that she pursued her degree as well. Kami Cotler did as well and teaches.
One of my favorite episodes. David always seemed to have scenes where there's intense drama and he played them to perfection.
He’s my favorite.
Agree.
He is my favorite too.
He was terrific. Simple and believable.
You got Facebook an email
All these interviews have taken the Waltons to a new dimension. I don’t think any other series has had so much explanation and looking at the depth of the characters. Thank you Judy.
Thank you so much. Glad you are enjoying these.
You’re so right..Judy as opened up a world to us about The Waltons in depth. No one else has ever done this I don’t believe. I’ve learned so very much about filming and acting.I’m eternally grateful to her. ❤️

David Harper is such a good actor and this was a standout for The Waltons and David Harper.I think this episode, along with the one he finds out he had a twin brother. So emotional. This episode kind of reminds me of the coming of age movie, Summer of ‘42. Not exactly similar but the young wife of soldier away at war.
Was this the episode where John told Jim to stop hanging around with the married lady?
Glad you enjoyed it.
I believe it was.

So nice to see Patsy Rahn again and hear her reminisce. I remember her n General Hospital as Monica in the 70's.
Wonderful.
Thank you, Patsy, for reaching out to Judy.
The Silver Wings is one of my favorite episodes, as I saw myself as Jim Bob.
It is quite touching.
I really enjoyed hearing Patsy’s perspective about her character and the filming of the episode.
Glad you enjoyed this.
it was an excellent episode

I love both of them!!❤️
I will if I get a chance to connect with either of them.
Thank you so much Patsy as I LOVED hearing your perspective. You and David made such a wonderful couple and it's a shame that we were only able to see you in this one episode.

What a sweet lady. I could sit for hours listening to her stories. What a life she has had. Wow!!!!
So talented on so many levels.
Another fantastic video Judy !!!!! I do remember that "Jim-Bob" had always wanted to fly ....
Nice he finally got the chance.
Beautiful lady 🔥😉 all around Patsy Rahn, and still are to this day. I enjoyed watching and listening to your experiences. Especially having been involved with “The Waltons” at one point. Wishing you all the best in the future. And Hello Judy. Thank you once again for your amazing videos. 💚💙💛❤️🙏🏻😇
Thank you so much.
I'm afraid of heights and therefore afraid of flying. This video pretty much cemented those feelings!
I understand.
Thank you Judy and Patsy for a wonderful segment.
Our pleasure.
Thank you Judy and awesome to hear Patsy talk about her episode and her life.

Gosh that's how old I am wow over 50 years ago .
I still miss watching the Waltons you where like my family who came to my home.
And I miss you still visiting my home , all of you x
Thanks for continuing to watch.
Thank you, pasty
I enjoy these reminiscing episodes. Yes, as someone else suggested, please have Patsy back again so she can share more details of her actual acting on the episode she starred in of The Waltons. The personal interactions etc.. would be nice to hear about too.
Judy, maybe i missed it, but you need to have one of your siblings from The Waltons do an interview of you! I want to know more about your life since your acting career ended. 😀 You need interviewed dear friend.
Thanks!!! 🙌
Kind of you to ask. Thank you.
Thank you Patsy Rahn for contacting Judy. Another lovely segment Judy. Thank you both. 😊
Our pleasure.
What a delightful conversation! Thank you Judy and Patsy! I loved that episode. I can remember MaryEllen wearing real short shorts in the “Dust Bowl Cousins” as well.
Yep - cut off shorts. Not very period - I’m pretty sure they were my personal shorts in that episode.
When she got caught smoking with Job in the tool shed.
Interesting thanks for this interview
Thanks for watching.
Anytime judy
Thank you Judy and Patsy for taking your time for this interview. I watched this Waltons episode yesterday and I really enjoyed it! The arts are so important!!!! Thank you again Judy and Patsy for your generosity and kindness!
Thank you so much.
that was a great interview - thanks to you judy and your guest patsy for sharing with us :)
Our pleasure.
What a harrowing story to begin with! Who would have thought there would be possible danger in filming the Waltons?! 😁 Judy, how "cool" that Patsy reached out to you! And Patsy, I'm so glad you did - you were a delight to listen to! I always love hearing people's stories about their lives - especially aspects that we would never know about if not for great interviews like this. And thank you for sharing your photography with us - fascinating! Judy, I hope more people reach out to you - I love these wonderful interviews with people who have such fond memories of sometimes just ONE episode they did with the Waltons!
These have been fun - especially getting to reconnect with actors who came on to guest.
Thanks for another interesting behind the scenes video about 'The Waltons,' Judy and Patsy. I love these kind of episodes!
Keep up the great work, Judy.
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you, Judy, for doing this. I love it when the guest actors come back and talk to you!! Hopefully, we will see some more of these in the near future. :)
I hope so too.
Silver Wings was an awesome episode. Patsy was very beautiful in it. Also, what an amazing acting job she did. The episode aired in 1979. Being 62 now I was around Jim Bob's age at that time. Heck I was in love with Patsy (Betsy) when seeing the episode. Definitely one of my all-time favorite Walton's episodes. Kind of sad that the Betsy Character she played moved on at the end of the episode. If I had been Jim Bob, I would not have ever let her go :)
Thank you, Judy, for doing these episode follow-ups and interviews! Thank you, Patsy, for doing this interview! Totally awesome all!!!!!
Thanks for joining us.
❤ thank you so much.❤
Our pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Waltons, Patsy! It was interesting to hear your perspective as a guest actor, as well as where your career took you. Thanks to you too, Judy!
Our pleasure.
love your painting was one of my favourite episodes so well done wish they would make shows like this today so holism,family values she was so good in general hospital
Glad you enjoyed it.
Patsy, thank you for appearing on the show. I already checked out your photography website. You really have great talent at this. I was really impressed.
I think you have the right attitude about acting. You loved it and when you got tired of it, you moved on. One thing I learned from Judy is that acting is a very fickle business and your lifespan is often short no matter how talented you are.
Judy - thank you for again making my Monday. This might be a surprise - but I don't have a question :)
Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you Judy for having Patsy sharing her story of being on the Waltons and hear what she's doing now.
Thanks for joining us.
Very interesting what went on behind the scenes while we waited every thursday night to watch The Waltons. That was my favorite day of the week as a kid because of looking forward to watching The Waltons in the evening.
I love that. Thank you.
Love when you have these great guests Judy!
Happy to hear that.
What a lovely interview!
Aah the photos are beautiful you are gifted for sure
Hi Judy it was so nice to hear from Patsy rahn and listening to all the things she has done it was a treat
So glad.
Hello Judy, hope you're having a great day.
Thank you. You too.
I really enjoyed this segment with Patsy. It seemed like it was recently this episode was on. I thought how cute Patsy was. I liked the outfits she wore. I was in high school @ the time & in the summer my friends & I were wearing those type of outfits( halter tops). I wondered about how much difference in age Patsy was to David.
Thanks again for doing these Behind the Scenes, Judy! So interesting & fun!
Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely an age difference :)
Thanks for this, Ms. Norton! Wonderful that you followed up with Ms. Rahn after she checked in with you. The actor from the Canadian show "Police Surgeon" that Ms. Rahn couldn't recall was likely Sam Groom, the show's lead, who was a prolific guest star on American television, mostly on one-hour dramas during the heyday of over-the-air broadcasting.
Thank you for adding that credit for Sam Groom.
@@judynorton2598 -- You're welcome. Always glad to be of assistance. As you've noted before in your posts, viewers often notice and remember everything.
Police Surgeon was a fairly high profile show on the private national network CTV. It was syndicated in the US as Dr Simon Locke. I saw an episode not too long ago on Retro TV.
Good to see Patsy 🌟🙂 She did a really good part with Jim bob on the Waltons ..thanks! 💛🩷
She was and is quite lovely - then and now.
Thank You Judy. Enjoyed your conversation with Patsy Rahn.
Happy to hear that.
Great interview! Patsy, you are a very interesting person - I love all of your incarnations in the arts!
This was such a treat. Thank you...😊❤
Our pleasure.
I’m so glad you talked about the wardrobe! It’s something I questioned watching this episode. I also love hearing the evolution of actors after the Walton’s…. Pasty, your life sounds so wonderful and free! Kudos to you! And thank you, Judy, for another great behind the scenes!
Side note: Will you be having Martha Nix on? I asked her about it in Lincoln IL. she mentioned you had asked her once but nothing came of it… She has such a great story!
Glad you enjoyed this. Yes, Martha and I will be talking soon.
Wow, Judy!! This is Amazing!! Patsy thank you so MUCH for your exciting stories. This episode is one of my favorites and it is so wonderful to share your time with all of us. I often wondered why we didn't see you again after the Waltons you are clearly a very gifted actress, but I am happy you were able to find your love in life. Judy you blow me away with each episode! Thank you for your time and consideration for the fan's you have no idea how much it means that you care. Thank you again Patsy and Judy enjoy the rest of your day hope to see you again soon Patsy you are looking wonderful. 🥰
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Patsy Rahn! Thank you, Judy Norton! I love hearing about the actors experiences and their stories. 🛩
Glad you enjoyed it.
Judy I love your show keep bring episode it’s so great to learn all the backstory’s
Very happy to hear that. Thank you.
OMG, the plane engines cutting out would be my worse nightmare. Having said that, I'm sure I read somewhere that when an old plane like that does a loop the loop, the engines are deprived of fuel when upside down hence they cut out but start up again once the fuel is fed back into the engines however, as far as I know, the engines have to regain fuel supply again within a very small and short time window/frame otherwise it could be catastrophic and they could completely stall so the pilot really needs to be at the top of his/her game and competent. Thank you Judy for a great segment and best wishes to you from your waltonian superfan in a very mild England😉
Thanks so much for sharing.
Enjoy hearing from past guest stars, they all have such a rich, eclectic history from prior to & after the Waltons
Absolutely.
Thank you for this…how interesting to hear this behind the scenes of one of a very interesting episode. David did an amazing job …it’s so wonderful to hear from guest stars about their experience on the show.😊
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for joining Judy, Patsy. Lovely to see you. :)
Thanks for watching.
Thank you Patsy for coming on judys show and giving this great interview. How much i enjoyed listening to your best stories on the show. I hope judy will have you back on again. ❤
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you Patsy! I always enjoy hearing from guest actors.
That was wonderfully engaging! Great guest with very interesting stories!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing job Judy You a pro at interviewing . Way to keep the train on the tracks. 😮❤
Are
Thank you.
Great interview with Patsy she comes across as a very happy and cheerful person Patrick in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you Patsy, such a pleasure! Thank you Judy/Mary Ellen for all you do, so so many already fans can learn more.
So glad you are enjoying these.
Thank you both for bringing back one of my favorite episodes. You both are so sweet and genuinely project the kindness of the show. ❤️
Thank you very much.
I remember Miss Rahn from GENERAL HOSPITAL. She was the very first Monica Webber (Quartermaine)! Monica's husband...MacGiver himself, Richard Dean Anderson!!! X
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I wish there were more clips from Rahn time as Monica on GH.
I just watched this episode today. Funny thing, when I was watching I thought something went amiss with the airplane, and I really hoped it wouldn’t crash. I didn’t think it would because I knew Jim Bob was still in the show. These interviews shed light on things we miss or things we notice, but don’t know why we notice if that makes sense. I wondered about her clothing as well. I don’t remember this episode but by 1979 I was 21 and had other things going on in my life other than TV. I’m really glad to be watching/rewatching this series. I’m getting much more out of it at 60 something rather than in my teens. Keep up the good work, Judy!
Glad you are still enjoying the show and that this additional behind the scenes was enlightening.
What i really love about Patsy's interview and actually all of the great guest stars , is how much they enjoyed the experience working on the show.❤
Always so nice to hear from actors who came to guest on our show.
This episode hit close to home for me. Like Jim Bob I as a teen also fell in love with a slightly older married woman whose husband was over seas in the service. Like Jim Bob I also was heartbroken but let down gently. Great episode.
Hope things turned out well for you in the long run.
It's a treat and "nice to meet you " to a major character star from her very short film career?? And yes she was beautiful and almost as hot as Mary Ellen was way back in the day back then... 😀
Thanks for joining us.
What a wonderful life she has given the world.thanks so much fir sharing pasty.hi from lutz Florida USA
Patsy was delightful. Thank you, Judy. So cool hearing about her experiences and life now with photography and poetry. Will definitely look her up and enjoy even more about her life now. Thank you, Waltons, once again❤
Thanks for joining us.
Indeed what a special woman played the special character of Maude! I really enjoy the behind the scenes recaps! Thank you Judy! I appreciate you! Much love 💕
Glad you enjoyed it
A great episode. Thank you for having Patsy on.
She's very gracious.
She really is. Such a pleasure to have her join me.
Glad Patsy reached out to you for an interview. Interesting woman. It was courageous of her to choose different career paths after acting. Patsy’s photography is fascinating. Hope other actors that were on the show contact you for an interview so we can see what they’ve been up to and get their perspective about being on The Waltons.
I think she had other innate talents. This does not always exist with other actors. I like that she pursued her degree as well. Kami Cotler did as well and teaches.
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope some others reach out, too :)
