Only children actors

[Coffeecup]

Someone mentioned we are running out of topics. Well here is a off the wall one. Actors that are only children. I know Bill Bixby was an only child and Jay North of Dennis the Menace was an only child. Jays character was an only child too. Can we think of others?

I posted a topic once and somebody thought it was a really stupid post. I didn't think so or I wouldn't have posted it, but it's rude to say it's stupid and what other posts are left?

I'm sure there's several.

Gary Coleman of Diff'rent Strokes was the only son of his adoptive parents. From whom he was sadly estranged when he died.

I believe I've read well known and well-liked TV actress Betty White is an only child too. That's a start at least.

Interesting to see Sherman Hemsley and Isabell Sanford were only children and on tv their characters The Jefferson had one child of Lionel.

Sherman Hensley said his father had other kids but he never met them.
Amada Blake from Gunsmoke and Andy Griffith were both only children.

Richard Crenna (Our Miss Brooks.)
Rebecca Sheaffer , (My Sister Sam.) Sad for her parents to lose their only child to murder.

After Sherman died his half-brother prevented him from being buried for months! He thought Sherman had a lot of money and wanted to control the estate.

This message board had been on for a very long time so of course we will run out of topics.

Isable Sandford had several siblings that died before she was born.

Ernest Borgnine McHales Navy was an only child
Leonardo DiCaprio Growing Pains was an only child
Betty White was an only child
Robbins Willimas was an only child
Sara Michelle Geller All my Children and Buffy was an only child
Lea Michelle from Glee is an only child
Pierce Bronson from Remmington Steel is an only child
Brook Shield from Lipstick Jungle is an only child
Mathew Perry from Friends is an only child
Christina Applegate from Married with children is an only child
There are a lot of other actors too but they don't do TV shows Like Robert De niro and Al Pacino

Really? Wow! That's awful. I read that Sherman didn't even know his half-brother. All while Sherman was alive, Sherman considered himself an only child. It's shame how someone he didn't even know had the authority to do that.

Brooke Shields has half-siblings from her father. I saw an interview once with one of her half-sisters and she talked about how Brooke would visit them when she wasn't working and they kept her normal.

It's sad, but the want of money makes people do crazy things. According to this article, his half-brother was still trying to have him dug up once he was buried:

You are definitely right about that. Thanks for posting the article.
