Five Time Jr. Emmy Award Winner for Best Child Actress, who better to star in a series for a network whose purpose is to help overcome childhood obstacles? The cast of “Father Knows Best” was a more stable family to Lauren than her own family. Her father sexually abused her and her mother was an abusive alcoholic. Once the show ended, her stage family was gone and she became a wreck. She married at age 16, was divorced at 18, became a drug addict, and was sent to a psychiatric institution after she attempted suicide. In her tell-all book Father Does Know Best – The Lauren Chapin Story, she shares the circumstances that turned her life around. "E! True Hollywood Stories" presented a two-hour special on Lauren's life and won ratings higher than any of their shows produced to date. Her work in recent years has brought her back into the public light on such shows as "The Today Show", "Entertainment Tonight", "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "The Late, Late Night Show", "Regis and Kathy Lee Show"and she hosted a 7 hour marathon on The Family Channel for Father's Day with the stars of "Father Knows Best"!
