Rare sighting of ’70s TV crush sparks online war over aging
“I felt a real responsibility knowing people looked up to me,” she shared. “That pushed me to work harder.” Norton added that she’s still focused on personal growth: “I’m always learning, always trying to improve — because I want to be the best role model I can be.”
After The Waltons, Norton faced a familiar challenge that many former child stars in Hollywood encounter, breaking free from the role that made her famous. And in recent years, she’s mostly stayed out of the spotlight.
But just recently, the 67-year-old actress was spotted in a rare public appearance, dressed in a chic floral summer dress with wedge heels, sunglasses, and a small tan handbag.
While she looked graceful and put-together, the sighting stirred a storm of reactions online — ranging from fond nostalgia to surprisingly harsh criticism.
