Pamelyn Ferdin is 65

Guest spot on Family Affair.

February 4th, OP.

February 4th, thank you!! Oops.

Forgive me, Pamelyn!

I hated her when I was a kid... That voice!! Like nails on a chalkboard.

She's a few months younger than I am.

She laughed at my new look.

I never could figure out why she was on so many shows. She wasn’t that good. She was even on Happy Days when she was older.

A year ago

A year ago

I especially hated her in this Star Trek episode.

She was the ultimate voice of Lucy on the Peanuts specials!

John Megan stole that episode—and see Capote thread..

I'm the same age and until today I always thought her name was Pamela. And I thought her last name was pronounced fur-DEEN.

Megna*

Corrected

That angel was Melvin Belli!! R9

Could you imagine Gloria Allred on Star Trek?! Oy!

Chorlee Bhrahown, yew blahkhead!

I like her - she reminds me of my childhood.

She was also Paul Lynde’s TV daughter on his short lived sitcom.

Fuck her.

I remember her from an episode of Brady Bunch when Jan wore the Afro wig to her birthday party. I hate the way she spoke. Like she had shit in her mouth or something

check out her site.

Welcome to My Website! It’s no exaggeration to say that if you watched television at all in the 1960s or 1970s you must have seen me. Maybe you didn’t know my name, but you knew my face, and if you couldn’t place the face, you surely knew my voice.

For the greater part of a decade I was the busiest child actress in Hollywood. There were times when I was the busiest actor of any age. I performed in more than 200 television episodes, over 40 feature films and made-for-TV movies, and more than 300 television commercials, nearly all of them before I was out of my teens.

She's charging 30 bucks for an autographed headshot.

Spoke with shit in her mouth

She was no Lisa Gerritsen.

Effie Boots!

R1 Was Buffy retarted?

But where is her Phaedra? Her Lady Macbeth?

RR27 They’re among her lost films, destroyed in a vault fire.

Another of her lost films:

She should make her comeback doing night, Mother with Amanda Seyfried.

That bitch Lucy Winters made fun of Jan's afro.

i waned to be her and lance kerwin at the same time, a tween she/he!

She's a kook with a capital K.

"Every day is 9/11 for chickens" she told John and Ken.

I actually think she was a pretty good actress. Loved watching her guest spots.

She died in this movie, and nobody seemed to give a shit.

[quote] I never could figure out why she was on so many shows. She wasn’t that good.

Because of That Voice. You would never forget it once you heard it, even if you didn't know the name of the child actress who produced it.

She had a great voice. As a young gay lad I wanted her voice.

How do you pronounce her first name?

Wiki has a link to her site re her memoir but no more news of it.

As of December 2020, she has finished her memoirs, co-authored by Richard Riis, and is seeking a publisher.

Animal rights kook.

[quote] How do you pronounce her first name?

"Throatwarbler Mangrove."

Pamelyn appeared in the creepy 70s classic [italic]The Beguiled[/italic]. On her site you can see an image from the production in which she is sitting underneath a tree with Clint Eastwood. That scene is pretty shocking-- Pamelyn was only 11 when she made the film, and during the scene in question Eastwood kisses her on the mouth in a disturbingly adult way, which wasn't in the script. Her dismayed reaction as captured on camera was real.

I hope she quietly told him, "No tongues..."

R42, the IMDb version:

"Pamelyn Ferdin, who was 11 during filming, said in a 1995 interview that Clint Eastwood kissing her to keep her from screaming when she sees troops passing by was a total surprise. She wasn't expecting it because it wasn't in the script. He was supposed to just cover her mouth. She found out later that director Don Siegel told Eastwood to do it because it would be more provocative. She said they used the first take because her stunned expression, which was real, was perfect."

If they used the first take, that means they did it again, right?

Always thought she sounded like an old women when she talked. Now she is an old woman.

R45 It would be funny if she now spoke in a little girl voice.

R44 No, it means they did one take.

R46 She does.

Lucy Winters on Brady Bunch

“we didn’t mean to hurt your feelings”

Spoken with lots of shit in her mouth. Made me crazy as a kid.

"We did it in one take!"

No one can say Pamelyn isn't beguiling!

I think you mean exhausting.

Does anyone remember her as the daughter of Ray Milland in Daughter of the Mind? Don Murray was also in it. She was a dead girl whose spirit was used in a Soviet plot or something.

I AM a daughter of the mind.

I paid Susan Olsen a dollar to kick her in the cuntbone.

If she was Ray Milland's daughter does that mean she was Ryan O'Neal sister?

The movie is on YouTube.

With Virginia Christine as Helga!

Virginia Christine IS Helga!

R55 Eve, I'll pay you $10 to kick Susan Olsen in the cuntbone.

R57 I love the literal-minded title of the movie!

And Ucla playing the stand-in for an elite university..

With Dead …er Don Murray

Four different Oscar nominees in one tv flick…

R60, I'll chip in $10 bucks for that!

I'll chip in $50 if she'll kick Pamelyn Ferdin in the cuntbone too.

She was unavoidable when I was a kid, guesting on everything. She was awkward looking and had that horrible voice. She still has it, along with bad plastic surgery.

She sure makes a big deal of her 3 appearances on The Odd Couple.

R63 - Pamelyn as the dead daughter has a message for Ray Milland from the beyond - that Korean wig does you no favors.

Daddy I don't like being dead!

The scene from "The Beguiled."

Disturbing, to say the least.

Daughter of the Mind must have been a pilot vehicle for Don Murray, maybe an early Sixth Sense or something. Don had just had a failed ABC Western where his co-star was a black man, and apparently even after I Spy, the network had no faith in it, though it was supposely critically praised.

For years I thought Pamelyn and Cathy Silvers were the same person.

[quote] Like she had shit in her mouth or something

And?

R71. It was re-tooled for Miss Sally Fiield over at NBC

R70 In the old west she was probably marryin' age.

She was an LA kid, you could tell by the way she talked. Like the way all the child actors from LA pronounced their vowels. A little like Valley-speak.

Nah—

Yeah...

She talked like these two chicks on Dragnet at 10:35. The way the girl says "down", and that nasal way of talking.

for some reason she reminds me of Woody Allen.

Costarred with Other Most Obnoxious Child Actress Laurie Prange in Night Gallery ep "Brenda".

Compensating factor: Glenn Corbett: kind of wooden actor, but he didn't have to act well. All he had to do was just stand there so you could DROOL over him.

Nope —do better 78

It’s in your head.

I think Pamelyn was the inspiration for Vanessa Bayer's child actress character Laura Parsons on SNL.

[...]

Somebody does, since there are now 84 replies, which even surprises me.

R83 You have stated your boundaries!

R81 Where are you from?

That Creature Features promo makes it seem she has the case of the Margaret O'Briens. She is still doing her cutesy act as an adult.

Pamelyn Ferdin Alert: 'What's the Matter with Helen' is on Turner Classic Movies on Saturday, March 30 at 12:30AM (in the morning, no less), co-starring Shelly Winters and Debbie Reynolds(!). Script commissioned from novelist Henry Farrell, whose story for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) had given rise to the genre. Hope it's on demand later as I don't have a DVR.

When I was a kid, I think I had a combo of having a crush on Pamelyn and wanting to be her.

Sheena Easton will turn 65 on April 27th 2024. Hard to believe she’s 65.

Pamelyn says she was up for the Regan role in The Exorcist, her voice as the demon's would have been brilliant.

" Privately, I didn't want the part and hoped I wouldn't get it. The level of violence and sexual content in the script (part of my interview included shouting out obscenities from a list) was something I was very uncomfortable with. Ironically, Linda Blair, who was marvelous in the role, once confessed she wanted to be in Disney movies and on Lassie."
