Mary Ellen Walton

Who remembers Mary-Ellen Walton? I do. I was up there on Walton's Mountain with the whole gang. I thought John-Boy was so handsome. Loved the steely Grandma. The little one - Elizabeth - she annoyed me - too cute. There was a middle one - I forget her name - so not much of an impression there. Oh yeah – Erin. The Mum - Livvie? Well I liked it when she let all that hair down at night and brushed it out - freedom! But Mary-Ellen. She played SOFTBALL! And wore denim dungaree's! Really what more could a young kiwi tomboy aspire to? Mary-Ellen was played by Judy Norton Taylor and I’ve read that she is a practising Scientologist and has appeared in Playboy … I won’t go there.
Mary-Ellen was forthright and stuck to her guns. She inspired me – I took up softball and even got around in dungaree’s circa 1974. Personality wise – well – my shyness would take over – but I did have some Mary-Ellen moments. She was a great role model really considering the times. Most females on tele were mindless girly girls who either got killed or got saved. Mary-Ellen did the saving. G’night Mary-Ellen.
