[dads_69]

During the mid 80's a TV star named Susan Richardson owned a blue w/a black stripe '69 Daytona. It was for sale in California as my dad and I went and looked at it. She wanted 10 grand for it, we offered 8500. No deal was made. Just curious if anyone here has known of the car or have an old Hot Rod issue from 1985 or so where car was for sale in the adds in the back like they used to do back then. She was on the TV show *Eight is Enough* at the time.
Any info. welcomed.

Susan Richardson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susan Richardson (born March 11, 1952 in Coatesville, Pennsylvania) is an American actress, best known for her role as Susan Bradford on the television series Eight is Enough, which she played from 1977 to 1981.

Richardson first started acting in plays in high school. She graduated from Coatesville Area Senior High School in 1970, and moved to Hollywood in 1971. In the six years between moving to the West Coast and being cast on Eight is Enough, she played bit roles in the films American Graffiti and A Star is Born, and guest-starred on the television series Happy Days and The Streets of San Francisco. Shortly before her 25th birthday, Richardson was picked to play the fourth-oldest child in the Bradford family on Eight is Enough.

On March 15, 1978, Richardson married Michael Virden, and shortly thereafter became pregnant, which was also written into the show. She gave birth to their daughter, Sarah, on February 27, 1980. After her pregnancy, a rumor was spread that Richardson would lose her job if she did not shed her pregnancy weight; she had gained 90 pounds and found it very hard to slim down by normal means, so she started using cocaine as a weight loss aid, and became addicted. She later kicked the habit. After Eight is Enough was canceled, she started a band called Harmony, and battled potential addiction to morphine following a debilitating tailbone injury (see [1]).

In 1987, Richardson came forward with a story about filmmakers kidnapping her and trying to kill her in North Korea. She blamed Hollywood for not believing her story, and for her career's subsequent demise. She also claimed that the filmmakers also stole the money she was investing in a feature of her own, and eventually the FBI seized her money and returned it to her with interest. Richardson has since sold the rights to her story to a production company, but no project has been announced as of yet.

Richardson also suffered a nervous breakdown in 1999, but has since recovered and now works as a caregiver in a nursing home in Wagontown, Pennsylvania, adjacent to her hometown of Coatesville.

In her Eight is Enough heyday, Richardson appeared in two installments of Battle of the Network Stars (May 1979 and December 1980), as well as numerous appearances on The $20,000 Pyramid, Password Plus, in addition to a one-hour All-Star episode of Family Feud in 1978 and a celebrity week during May sweeps in 1979.

Awesome find. Now I've got some back tracking to do again. The car we looked at was blue w/black stripe but it did have slotted mags. Its only been 23 plus years, we looked at a few wing cars, but I do remember her car, which that is. I wonder who owns it now?
Thanks for the great find UFO.
