Kim Richards: Difference between revisions

'''Kim Erica Richards''' (born September 19, 1964) is an American actress, socialite and television personality. What [[The Olsen Twins]] were during the 1990s and 2000s and [[Hayden Panettiere]] was in the 2010s, she was in the 1970s and 1980s: a young actress of undeniable beauty and talent, whose screen presence inspired less-than-wholesome thoughts in an entire generation of teen boys -- ''and'' their fathers. While she won her first role before she was a year old (for a TV commercial), and was a regular on a TV series by the time she was six (as Prudence in ''[[Nanny and the Professor]]''), Richards is probably best remembered for the ''Witch Mountain'' movies she made for [[Disney]] in her pre- and early teens.

 

 

In addition to her numerous guest roles on TV, she also had regular roles on several more series following ''Nanny and the Professor''. The last of these was a [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Diff'rent Strokes]]'' starring [[McLean Stevenson]], called ''[[Hello, Larry]]'', in which she and [[Donna Wilkes]] played Stevenson's teen-aged daughters. After ''Hello, Larry'' was cancelled, she shifted entirely to film for the last four years of her early career. Her last role was as "Frankie" in the 1985 drama ''[[Tuff Turf]]'', in which she costarred with [[Robert Downey, Jr.]] After its release she took a hiatus from acting.
