Celeb / LGBTQITSLFA Kristy McNichol Makes It Official
Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 4:49 PM
She's a lesbian (and she's been with the same lady for two decades!)
Congrats, better late than never, etc. (And thank you, Towleroad.)

@1: Sexing? Is this a newfangled term the kids these days are using? Soupytwist, I am relying on you to explain this in monosyllabic language. Woman's Day and Family Circle haven't covered it yet.

I guess she had it calculated that the number of straight people in 2011 who know who Kristy McNichol is was small enough to risk the damage to the long right tail end of her popularity.

All I wanted was for her to move next door to me so we could be best friends plus I could marry her dimmer brother Jimmy.

Gus, there was an incredibly bad early 80's horror movie called Night Warning which starred Jimmy McNichol, and involved him running around shirtless a lot. It also had a gay subplot, as I remember.

well all knew this since she was about ten years old , those doubting her rug muncher cred were in complete denial . mostly this was about getting some press , some thing she hasn't had in a long long time .

LOL!!! @ gus @4.
OMG, I hadn't thought of poor Jimmy in years. Decades. I, too, briefly had a crush on him about 30 years ago.
Fuck, I'm old.

What's her former beard, Leif Garrett, up to these days? I also remember a publicity stunt involving her having a crush on Donny Osmond.
(I'm just as old as the rest of you.)

So long as Dan rules this roost we need never be ashamed of our ages. Joe @5, I will go google the fuck out of that movie. Thank youl.
11
Shocker! Next you'll be telling me that her Family co-star Meredith Baxter is gay - or that designer Isaac Mizrahi got married - to a man!

Gus, the YouTube channel Confessions of a Horror Baby has a pretty good rundown on it, including clips from the movie. The channel is run by a college kid who combines his love of Sondheim musicals and slasher flicks in interesting ways.
14
Oh, Buddy. I recently saw her Pirates of Penzance flick "The Pirate Movie," costarring that guy from Blue Lagoon, and it was worth the 29 year wait. Her appearance in a musical should've tipped me off. I hope she's happy and still has money.
19
Wow. I had completely forgotten that I know who Kristy McNichol is.
@17: That link made me yearn for the wonder and simplicity of the 70's.

@13, holy mackerel he really showed off how terrible that movie was. Dang. Thank you, though. Any of us with vestigial feelings for Jimmy must never click this link:

I think I need to watch little darlings again. Kristy Nichol, Tautum O'Neil and Krista Errickson made me feel funny in unfamiliar ways with those 70's haircuts and sexually charged scenes. when I watched it as a pre-pubescent.
I just watched the scene where Kristy chats up some guy, after she notices he's wearing a dark blue bandanna in his right pocket and raises her eyebrow.

@17: Ha! Oh yeah. Jimmy McNichol was a bubblegum crush, but Vincent Van Patten gave me the vapors. (And Alex Rocco was/is a hot daddy.)
25
This is a larf.

This is my New Year's resolution:
I'll stop acting like a tomboy and be sweet,
I'll have Donny Osmond kneeling at my feet,
And to make the other fellas more aware,
I resolve to borrow Farrah Fawcett's hair.

I always thought she was a dreary looking thing. It's nice to see she blossomed as an adult, and is apparently happy.

This really eroticizes the sploshing scene in Little Darlings, which TCM showed on Underground last night.
