Date of Birth: March 11, 1952, Coatesville,
Pennsylvania
Info: Susan is best noted for her
role as Susan Bradfor on the TV show "Eight is Enough".
Family Ties: Daughter, Sarah, born March 27, 1980.
Where Is Se Now: After many battles with addiction, she looks to have put
those demons to rest.
She is living in Wagontown, Pennsylvania where it is reported that she is a
caretaker at a retirement home. In her spare time she makes walking sticks for
Veterans
and the disabled.
Trivia: Susan has had a bizarre life. She gained about 90 pounds
with her pregnancy, and then turned to cocaine to help her lose the weight
because she feared being fired.
In 1999, she suffered a nervous breakdown, and was hospitalized and placed on
suicide watch.
Probably the most bizarre story surrounding her is her claim that in the 1980s,
she was held hostage in Korea by filmmakers who tried to kill her.
There was no proof and she says that the disbelief of others in Hollywood is
what ruined her career because she could not find work.
It is more likely that her acting career went town the tubes because of her
bizarre behavior. She was on numerous talk shows in which this behavior was
evident to everyone.
