Kristy McNichol – Born 1962

Kristy McNichol is a spunky little character who began her career while still relatively young. Her first acting gig was as Letitia in the series Family. The opportunity gave her a chance to sharpen her acting skills, and she quickly became known in acting circles as someone to watch for future success.

After another break in the movie, Little Darlings, she let the pressure and stress of the profession eat away at her, and she suffered a breakdown while shooting a film in 1982.  Since then, she has not taken on any significant work, and she announced her official retirement as of 2001. Not to worry; her wise financial investments have done her well; she’s living a comfortable and quiet life in California.
