Perhaps you were flipping channels over the weekend and came across the quintessential horror flick to watch at this time of year, John Carpenter's
"Halloween." (If you didn't, no worries. AMC is showing it at least two more times in the next week.)
While watching Michael Myers wreak his own brand of psychotic havoc on unsuspecting teens, you may have found yourself asking, "Hey, I wonder what happened to the little girl who played Lindsey Wallace?" (You remember Lindsey. She was the kid who watched scary movies even though they freaked her out, locked her babysitter Annie in the outdoor laundry shed and, let's face it, had kind of a thing for little Tommy Doyle. Really, who wouldn't have a crush on a kid who insists, constantly, that the bogeyman is out to get him?)
So who was Lindsey and what became of her? I have your answer. Turns out that, among other things, she is now the aunt of a certain famous celebutante...
The actress's name is Kyle Richards and as a child, she appeared in numerous movies and TV shows. In addition to both "Halloween" and "Halloween II," you also may have spotted her on "Little House on the Prairie" and "Fantasy Island," or in another creepy flick, 1980's "The Watcher in the Woods." She has continued acting in adulthood, although her roles have been a little sporadic. In semi-recent years, she has showed up on "E.R." "7th Heaven" and in a movie that is destined to become a classic, "National Lampoon's Pledge This!"
As for that celebutante ... Richards is the sister of Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris and Nicky, which makes Kyle Richards their aunt. The "Halloween" child star is also married and has four daughters of her own, none of whom (to my knowledge) have publicly used the phrase, "That's hot."
So if you watch "Halloween" on or before Oct. 31, pay special attention to Lindsey Wallace and remind yourself that someday that little girl will grow up to be the aunt of a "Simple Life" star.
