PHOTO FLASH: Mary McDonough Visits with Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn During Book Tour

Mary McDonough, who may be best known for the role of Erin Walton that she created and played for over a decade on the hits series The Waltons, has concluded a book tour to promote her new memoir, Lessons From the Mountain: What I Learned From Erin Walton.

Recent stops on her tour included the Gospel Music Hall of Fame at DOLLYWOOD, where she visited with music legend and Tony Award nominee Dolly Parton; The Country Tonite Theatre where she visited with Loretta Lynn; and The Opry Shop at The Grand Ole Opry.

In the book, McDonough shares intimate, behind-the-scenes memories of Will Geer, Richard Thomas, her two “moms,” Patricia Neal and Michael Learned, and all the other Walton cast, crew and guest stars.
