Caryn Richman: A Hollywood Treasure of Talent, Beauty, and Kindness

She is considered one of Hollywood’s most talented and multi-faced performers. She possesses the theatrical insight and instinct of only the most sophisticated of Shakespearean actors. She dances like the wind and sings with the sincerest of vocal precision and tone.

But more than any of that, she is respected, admired, and cherished by her colleagues, friends, family, and countless fans as one of the sweetest, most adorable human beings to grace the planet.

“Adorable.”

That’s it.

There’s just no other single word to best describe the remarkable (there’s another one!) Caryn Richman.

In the history of the entertainment industry, Richman is best known as the star of The New Gidget, one of the last great TV sitcoms ever produced. Originally airing in the mid-1980s, The New Gidget, to this day, retains the charm and essence of what a television family situation comedy should be.

Based on the original Gidget novel by Frederick Kohner, and inspired by the various big and small screen editions in the Gidget universe, The New Gidget, which co-starred Dean Butler (of Little House On The Prairie) nearly single-handedly saved from distinction the traditional family sitcom format.
