Geraldo (March 12, 1990) - Former Child Stars

Geraldo's staff named this episode "Starred-Crossed Kids: When Fame Hits ... and Runs."
It's a gathering of seven former child actors and actresses who are asked to comment about how fame at an early age affected them and whether or not they had any regrets.
Geraldo welcomes Danny Bonaduce ("The Partridge Family"), Danielle Brisebois ("All in the Family"), Jon Provost ("Lassie"), Dr. Jeannie Russell ('Margaret' on "Dennis the Menace"), Susan Olsen ("The Brady Bunch"), Butch Patrick ("The Munsters") and Johnny Whitaker ("Family Affair") to the stage.
Commenting from the audience are (Grandpa) Al Lewis and Dr. Paul Reisch (Chariman of the Drama Dept. at New York's High School of the Performing Arts).
I missed the opening credits and introductions; I was probably running around looking for a blank video cassette. Also, at 22:54, there's breaking news regarding a fatal building collapse on Manhattan's upper west side which briefly interrupts the programming.
At the end of the episode is news regarding the arrest of one of Geraldo's panelist - a mere three days before this pre-recorded episode was broadcast.

    Yea, ya know, you're right. I never noticed how rude and condescending, just watching how he treated Danny B. How about the "Montel Williams Show", remember that jerk? I was in his audience in the late 90s and I just remember him treating the crowd like they were an insignificant almost inconvenient part of the show that he was too good to interact with. That's just people forgetting that we're all human and at the end of the day we all leave with the same thing, but for me it's what I left behind that matters to me

    @@starsoul64 UGH! Montel was a jerk! I especially hated that he had an even bigger jerk on his show often, that fake "psychic" Sylvia Browne who ripped off and hurt a lot of grieving families, such as Amanda Berry's family. Sylvia cruelly insisted to their faces that Amanda was dead and they'd never see her again. Amanda was being held hostage along with other young women for @ 10 years, so she was alive the whole time Sylvia was telling them to accept their daughter's death. In the case of 11-year-old Shawn Hornbeck, Browne told his parents he was dead and had been kidnapped by a dark-skinned man with dreadlocks. Five years later, Hornbeck was found alive and had been abducted by a Caucasian man with short hair. Her false "predictions" often involved perps who were black, and she often said that abducted children were being sold as sx slaves in Japan. Absolutely no proof of that, she was just a vile, lying, bigot.

I can why they sometimes have security for their children even more than for themselves. We don't live in a nice world..

Being 14 at the time, he was taken to Children’s Hospital . The doctors gave him Percocet painkillers to come home with and that was the beginning of the end for our family.. these doctors have only gotten worse through the years. They are merciless ..Johnny I was a Family Affair fan an a HUGE Tom Sawyer fan! I want to thank you for getting the truth out about what really happened that sad night, and being Anissa’s advocate. I have met you at the Missouri Cherry Blossom festival. I have a photo of us. There’s always thought about what we’re going to say when we see a celebrity “which you are.” But when we get that golden opportunity, we often forget so I’m taking the time out now to thank you for all the memories and especially thank you for helping these Hollywood kids to transition.

My family lost Bobby a couple years ago so it's nice when I see Johnny Whitaker and can think of Bobby.

    He cut Butch Patrick off when he was about to speak on "another story" that I definitely wanted to hear. I enjoyed Butch (and Al Lewis, of course!) the most, okay maybe tied with Johnny because I've always loved him and already knew that he's a good guy, even though his 1969 movie, "The Littlest Angel", upset me as a kid. I was too little to fully understand death, and ran from the room crying and refused to watch the movie after his death scene. "They let Jody die!"😭 I was inconsolable. I never did finish watching that movie! It would likely seem silly now to me, but after reading the synopsis, it actually sounds like a sweet movie.

    I think Anissa was going through something more tragic (sinister) going on, either behind the scenes in the industry, or in her home life. She always looked extremely sad in photos, and in the very few interviews she did. My thoughts was she was being (s) abused. I think it was also the reason she got on drugs. Most (s a) victims do. I always feel so sad for her. 💔

    Plus, Jay North (Dennis) was physically abused constantly by his aunt and uncle. He said in an interview he’d never watch an episode unless he wanted to make himself be physically sick. He said to keep your children OUT of the business. I agree. It’s an evil business, not the glam life people imagine it to be. There is also Robert Blake’s story on the Rascals.

    17:43 Danielle Brisebois was great as Molly in the original Broadway cast of Annie but Geraldo is off-base. The original Annie was Andrea McArdle and she was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance in the original 1977 production which Danielle was in. Even Danielle seemed a little confused by Geraldo’s comment that she received better accolades than the lead. It wasn’t a contest as the whole original cast is legendary. Interestingly, Danielle became a successful songwriter and was nominated for an Academy Award for one of her compositions from a movie soundtrack.

    She had some big hits in the mid 2000’s with Unwritten and Pocket Full of Sunshine…

    I believe it was Sarah Jessica Parker who first played Annie?
