Are any of you aware that Connie Needham is battling Ovarian
Cancer and is being supported in her fight by former Eight Is
Enough cast members?

I didn't know that. That's awful.

Marvo301 · 08-27-2009, 11:53 PM

No I didn't know that. I hope she wins her battle!

My heart and prayers are with Connie and her family at this time.

That's very sad news. I always liked her and thought she was a really good actress. Very cute too!

Best wishes to her for a full and speedy recovery!

Apparently Connie retired from acting at some point and became an instructor at a dance academy in California. Here are some recent photos:

Married 30 years with two daughters. Isn't that great? Actually, her husband's name is David Needham, who is the son of Hal Needham.

Scoobiedoo30 · 08-28-2009, 03:25 PM

She does look great

Ack! Well, at least I got the last name right! lol

Yeah, that's a long marriage for any sector, let alone the Hollywood one. Though the fact that she retired from acting long ago probably is a factor too. Less pressure and temptation, etc.

True, but look what happened to Willie Aames. Even though he was out of the spotlight for a long time, his own 20+ year marriage recently ended and he fell off the wagon. So I give Connie and her hubby extra props for sticking it out all these years.
