Rest in peace. I loved to watch the Eight is Enough tv show because I was an only child I was mesmerized by big families.

I did not know they did a t.v. show of "I Remember Mama". The movie with Irene Dunn is one of my favorites. Richard Van Patten was fun to watch and for many years. He will be missed. I loved Eight is Enough.

One of his 3 sons is named Nels, after his TV character in Mama in 1949.

And Joyce Van Patten was married to Martin Balsam, their daughter is Talia Balsam who was married first to George Clooney and now married to John Slattery of Mad Men. Hollywood really is a tightknit community.
