Kristy McNichol – Born In 1962

Kristy McNichol began her career as a child actress in commercials. She was a TV sensation in the mid-to-late ’70s and ’80s. In 1976, she made a name for herself as Buddy Lawrence on the gripping TV drama Family. During its debut, McNichol was only 14, and the world watched her grow up in front of the camera.

Then, in the early ’80s, she starred in Little Darlings, which launched her into superstardom. McNichol was not only a well-known young actress, but she was also a bona fide teen idol, as she was frequently in bubble gum pop publications such as Bop and Tiger Beat. When she was beginning to gain her credits, she left the limelight in the ’90s. She prefers living a solitary life after quitting show business and enjoys yoga, tennis, traveling, and rearing her dachshund.
