CHRISTINA MCNICHOL

Christina or Kristy McNichol is a well-known actress, comedian, and singer. Audiences will remember her best for her roles in Little Darlings, Empty Nest, and Only When I Laugh. Over the years, she has been given much recognition for her work, including two Emmy Awards for her performance in the TV series Family. Some might say that she retired too soon, considering she was still quite in-demand when she bid her farewell to Hollywood back in 2001.

When asked about her decision, McNichol talked about prioritizing herself and her well-being over having an active career. Following her retirement, she put her investments toward teaching at a private acting school and did a lot of charity work. While fans surely miss seeing McNichol’s work, we have to praise the actress for bravely choosing what is best for her. After all, leaving behind two decades’ worth of work is no easy task.
