\n\tLauren Chapin, who portrayed the precocious Kathy \u201cKitten\u201d Anderson on the iconic 1950s TV series\u00a0Father Knows Best<\/em>, has died. She was 80.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tChapin, who said she was molested as a child before dealing with drug abuse, jail sentences, several miscarriages and divorce after her show ended, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer, her son, Matthew, reported<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing appearances on a 1952 episode of CBS\u2019\u00a0Lux Video Theatre<\/em>\u00a0and in the Judy Garland<\/a>-starring\u00a0A Star Is Born<\/em>\u00a0(1954), Chapin was hired for\u00a0Father Knows Best<\/em><\/a>\u00a0when she was 9.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe said she got the job in part because she bore a strong resemblance to one of star Robert Young\u2019s four daughters, also named Kathy. (Norma Jean Nilsson had played the part on the preceding NBC Radio version.)<\/p>\n

\n\tChapin\u2019s older TV siblings were Betty \u201cPrincess\u201d Anderson (Elinor Donahue) and James \u201cBud\u201d Anderson Jr. (Billy Gray), and their mom was the level-headed homemaker Margaret Anderson (Jane Wyatt). Young played Jim Anderson, an insurance salesman.<\/p>\n

\n\tFather Knows Best<\/em>\u00a0ran for six seasons, from October 1954 through May 1960, with two stints at CBS sandwiched around one at NBC. Reruns then aired for another couple of years in primetime on ABC and for decades in syndication, and the cast reunited for a pair of TV specials in 1977.<\/p>\n

\n\tChapin was born in Los Angeles on May 23, 1945. Her older brothers, Billy Chapin<\/a> (The Night of the Hunter<\/em>) and Michael Chapin (It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/em>), were child actors as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was signed to a contract at Columbia Pictures and studied with choreographers Gower and Marge Champion<\/a> and famed French mime Marcel Marceau.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen she was about 6, her mom, Marguerite, whom she said was an alcoholic, took her brother Billy to New York to build his stage career, and she was left with her father, William, whom she said molested her. By age 11, she said was a \u201cmanic depressive personality\u201d and once attempted suicide.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was very difficult to understand how Kathy Anderson could be loved and protected and Lauren Chapin lived a whole different kind of life,\u201d she said<\/a> during a 1989 appearance on\u00a0Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee<\/em>. \u201cI didn\u2019t understand how God could let me suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFive months after\u00a0Father Knows Best<\/em>\u00a0ended, Chapin appeared on an installment of\u00a0General Electric Theater <\/em>alongside Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows, but that would mark her final acting appearance for 16 years.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe dropped out of Pasadena High School as a junior, and on the\u00a0Regis and Kathie Lee<\/em>\u00a0program, she said got married at 16 and divorced at 18; another marriage was annulled after she discovered her husband was still married. Another man she was involved with turned her into a call girl and on to heroin, which she said she did for seven years until she was 25. Along the way, she lost eight children to miscarriages.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe said she also had to sue her mother to claim a portion of the money she had earned from\u00a0Father Knows Best<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter achieving sobriety in the 1970, Chapin worked as a minister and as a talent manager; on her website, it was noted that actress Jennifer Love Hewitt \u201cgot her start in show biz\u201d through Chapin.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also published a memoir, 1989\u2019s\u00a0Father Does Know Best<\/em>, and appeared on a 2016 YouTube series, School Bus Diaries<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSurvivors also include her daughter, Summer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf I could be on television again, I would pray for a series like\u00a0Father Knows Best<\/em>,\u201d she told People <\/em>magazine in 1981, \u201cone that has no violence, no sex and shows nothing but purity and love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
