Kristy McNichol, a familiar face from the ’70s, was recently seen enjoying an outdoor workout in Los Angeles. The 62-year-old Emmy Award winner first stole hearts in the classics like Family and beloved films such as Little Darlings and Summer of My German Soldier.
This sighting took place on July 20, where she sported a relaxed athletic look while doing some stretches. Her outfit included a maroon zippered sweatshirt, black cycling shorts, a white tee, and comfy sneakers.
These rare public appearances are special for fans since Kristy made headlines by stepping away from the acting scene in 2001, sparking curiosity about her whereabouts. After a successful television career, including her famous role in the ’80s sitcom Empty Nest, it’s always exciting to see her in the spotlight again.
Fans were quick to express their love and support in the comments, with remarks like “She looks fantastic!” and “It’s so refreshing to see an actress who’s embraced her natural beauty!”
Over the past years, Kristy has occasionally mentioned her life away from Hollywood. In 2014, during a candid chat with People, she shared that this chapter of her life is fulfilling and peaceful. “I enjoy singing and traveling. Hawaii is one of my favorite places, and I might just settle there part-time in the future,” she expressed.
When asked if there’s any chance of a comeback, Kristy had this to say: “Never say never!” She admitted leaving showbiz was due to a desire to explore more of what life has to offer.
Her recent appearance at the “Hollywood Show” fan event in June was another lovely surprise for fans. Posing for pictures with celebrities like Billy Baldwin and Chyna Phillips, she looked as youthful as ever. A now-deleted TikTok video captured her reconnecting with fans and fellow stars, showcasing her timeless spirit.
