Mary Elizabeth McDonough

Born: May 4, 1961

Mary was considered for the key role in "The Exorcist" but her mother refused after reading the book. Her brother Michael appeared in 3 episodes of The Waltons. After her work on The Waltons Mary got caught up in striving to attain the perfect image for the Hollywood system. After receiving silicone brest implants she acquired lupus erythematosus which she believes was caused by a ruptured implant. She has campaigned for awareness on the issue. She continued to work doing guest spots on television and recently landed a recurring role in The New Adventures of Old Christine. Mary's cheerful disposition is always the bright spot at Walton reunion events.

GMA interview

In September 2013 when the surviving cast members came together for a special reunion article published by Entertainment Weekly Magazine, Good Morning America was there to do an interview as well. Mary scooped up one of the large 3'x4' photos used in the background and had her fellow cast members sign it which she then sold on ebay and raised for $1300 for ASLF.

The image now resides inside the 2nd floor hallway of the Hamner childhood home in Schuyler, VA.
