‘Watcher in the Woods’ Star Lynn-Holly Johnson’s Bette Davis Regrets and ‘Crazy’ On-Set Accident

Lynn-Holly Johnson started her career as a professional figure skater at the age of five. Her years of training served her well when she landed the lead in 1978’s ice skating drama Ice Castles — but they also helped when, in 1980, she shared the screen with Hollywood legend Bette Davis in Disney’s 1980 The Watcher in the Woods. Her skating training prepared her to “just keep working hard,” Johnson told ReMIND. “And Miss Davis really liked me for that reason.”
