This the Michael Learned, "Olivia" from the Waltons interview with behind the scenes stories you might not have heard before. John has a blast as Michael is so genuine, unfiltered and honest in the interview. Michael chats about growing up on a farm in Connecticut, her close relationship with the Waltons, Ralph Waite, her respectful but sometimes contentious on set friendship with Waltons creator, Earl Hamner and overcoming alcoholism while shooting the Waltons. She also discusses being at Ellen Corby's funeral and Will Geer's close bond with Ellen Corby. Michael also talks about her latest Ryan Murphy, Netflix project "Monster-The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" and her continued friendship with Richard Thomas, Judy Norton and all the Waltons kids. Enjoy!!
