Kathy Coleman starred as Holly Marshall in the sci-fi series 'Land of the Lost' from 1974 to 1976. The former child star is raising awareness on The Sid & Marty Krofft Channel
Kathy Coleman was 18 years old and filming Burger King commercials when she said 'I do' and left Hollywood. The former child star, who had skyrocketed to fame with 'Land of the Lost,' got her hands dirty as she worked on her father-in-law’s Fallon, Nevada ranch. The 62-year-old is now back in California and ready for her close-up, but still has fond memories of life out of the spotlight.
The farm was gigantic,' Coleman recalled. 'We had a hog farm where we produced 12,000 hogs a year. We were milking 24-hour double shifts. Because my father-in-law owned the ranch, we were brought in, and we started at the bottom of the totem pole. We had to learn everything. You messed up, God help you.' ' said, ‘You can never ask anybody to do something you don’t know how to do or haven’t done yourself,’' she said. 'So I did everything. I fed the cows, I milked them.
It’s not very common in this industry to have such a closeness as we do,' she shared. 'I live right down from my brother. We travel together all the time. We really are like brother and sister. My TV father was like a real father. I grew up in a single-family home, so I wasn’t raised with a father in the house. And yet, he stepped into that role, not only for the show but in real life as well. We’re extremely close and love each other to death.
Coleman has written two books chronicling her life in Hollywood, with 'Run, Holly Run!' being the most recent. Her marriage lasted from 1980 to 1987 and the mother of two now resides in Palm Springs. Life 'isn’t all that quiet,' she noted. Coleman frequently travels the country throughout the year and meets with fans at conventions. 'Land of the Lost' loosely inspired the 2009 film by the same name starring Will Ferrell, but Coleman said it 'totally missed the mark.
