Willie Ames holds garage sale
Its just sad to read this, former child star Willie Ames is so hard up he had a garage sale on the lawn of his home in Olathe,Kansas the other day. He has had all sorts of trouble lately ranging from bankruptcy to divorce to even an attempted suicide.
I love watching old TV shows and I spot him every so often in episodes of Little House on the Prairie and even in Gunsmoke. He got his start back in 1971 playing the son of Felix (played by Tony Randall) in the Odd Couple. Then he was in numerous Walt Disney TV movies before getting the role of Tommy Bradford on Eight is Enough.
After that ended he was in several movies including Paradise and Zapped,then got the role of Buddy Lembeck in Charles in Charge which ran from 1984-1990.
After that he never was in any other big TV shows but he did create a character named Bible Man and several of those episodes ran on TV.
