Who’s Still Alive From ‘The Waltons’?

When The Waltons premiered on September 14, 1972, viewers were introduced to the close-knit Walton family living in rural Virginia during the Great Depression. The heartwarming drama, created by Earl Hamner Jr. and based on his own childhood, became an instant hit on CBS, running for nine seasons (1972 to 1981), spawning several TV movie sequels, and earning multiple Emmy Awards as well as a place in television history. More than 50 years later, The Waltons remains a beloved classic of 1970s family television, which begs the question: who from the main cast is still with us today?
