Dawn Lyn Career

Career

Dawn Lyn began her acting career at the age of five. She first appeared in the 1967 B-grade western Cry Blood, Apache at age 4. She claimed she was shocked to learn that she'd only found out that she'd been playing a character of the opposite sex years later.

Lyn played Prudence Everett in the ABC series Nanny and the Professor in 1969, but she was fired from ABC after the television pilot did not initially sell.

Dodie Douglas appeared on the long-running family comedy television series My Three Sons. Lyn was unsuccessfully cast in Nanny and Professor, but she had already been cast for My Three Sons and was unable to convince him to appear in Nanny and the Professor. Kim Richards was cast as Prudence Everett after ABC's case against Lyn failed, although Lyn was a brunette and Richards was a blonde.

Lyn remained on My Three Sons until it came to a conclusion three seasons later.

Lyn continued to work in her youth on many well-known television shows, including Adam-12, Emergency!, Marcus Welby, M.D., Barnaby Jones, and Gunsmoke.

Lyn's character's daughter, Gregory Peck, was a central character in the western Shootout in 1971. She has appeared in films including the Walking Tall trilogy. (Her brother was also in the cast) Lyn auditioned for the role of Regan in The Exorcist in 1973, but it was deemed too young for the role.

In the 1973 Mannix film "Little Girl Lost," Dawn played the daughter of a slain man.

In the 1974 NBC series Born Free, she appeared in a recurring role as Reagan. She appeared in The Red Hand Gang, a 1977 film.

Lyn appeared in the cult classic Devil Times Five in 1974, where Lyn's character Moe dumps a bucket of piranhas into a bathtub to specifically kill the character Lovely, played by Lyn's mother. (The cowboy played by Lyn's father murdered the person played by her mother in Cry Blood Apache).

Lyn's last onscreen acting work was in the 1978 Wonder Woman episode "My Teenage Idol is Missing," which starred her brother as a teen pop star and in which Lyn appeared as a passionate fan.

Lyn's 4 ft 10 in (1.47 m) height began to act against her when she was a teen actress.

Erin Murphy (of Bewitched fame) was invited to an in-studio radio broadcast of The Howard Stern Show in New York City, during 1990's appearance on Nickelodeon. Lyn and Murphy debating international politics while Stern egged on. It was Lyn's second appearance on Stern's program.

Lyn performed live voice acting with the Avalon Community Theater Radio Troupe while living in Avalon, Catalina Island, from 1997 to 2006. Actor Tony Dow (of Leave It To Beaver) appeared in an in-studio show and later appeared alongside Lyn in a island charity auction, as well as television brother Jerry Mathers and TV mother Barbara Billingsley. In a live broadcast of Family Affair's satire of the film Pearl Harbor (2001), actor Johnny Whitaker, a childhood friend of Lyn's, joined her in a studio lot with My Three Sons.
