"Cocaine, PCP, Quaaludes and Seconal were found in her body during an autopsy."

Are we supposed to feel sorry? That doesn't happen accidentally.

Sorry? Not sure, but she was what, 18?

I think the song said it well and she was obviously loved and missed by her family.

Does anybody remember Anissa Jones
Rumor and innuendo was all that was ever known
She never did quite make it very far from home
Does anybody remember Anissa Jones?

I can still see Mrs Beasley (She's alone in her chair)
You can almost hear the voice of a little girl who once was there
You always wonder what could have been if left unknown
I bet Mrs Beasley remembers Anissa Jones

Beautiful Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpXReLR5ouQ&feature=related)

Airwick, did you know Anissa appeared with Elvis in the movie, "The Trouble with Girls." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V430M59Yn8)

is that Sissy holding onto big El's arm?

That show always creeped me out a bit. Brian Keith was kinda freaky deaky.

Nope, not Sissy.

I agree about the show,..... None of the cast members protected the kids. Anissa's homelife was terrible and none of the cast members helped.

You wanna talk freaky?

Brian Keith (Uncle Bill) was the great nephew of Peg Entwistle (http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/e/Peg%20Entwistle/peg_entwistle.htm), the lady who jumped off the Hollywood (Land) sign.......

Brian Keith killed himself in 1997, a few months after his daughter took her own life.

It truly was a Family Affair.

wow - never heard of this.

Brian Keith's brother was an actor as well.

Here is another nice tribute that includes a few rarely seen photos of Anissa.

That doesn't happen accidentally.

Is there any other way?

"I used to LOVE to stay at The Inn at Playa Del Rey at 435 Culver Boulevard I haven’t been in a few years, but they used to put warm cookies in your room when you got in and when they turned down your bed at night and the price (reasonable for L. A.,) includes breakfast and wine and cheese at night. (I don’t drink but the Babe loved it!) The only downside is the noise from the airport, but I have been told that that has been reduced over the last few years. (If you can get over the noise, Playa Del Rey is a great place!)

Nearby are the Bollona Wetlands and an area called ‘The Jungle’ that the local High School kids still hang out at! (I wish it were solely a make out area, but sadly there is still an emphasis on drugs and alcohol, so the view by the road might be best here.

Captain’s is gone now, but I’ve been told you can still get a Shack Burger at The Shack at 185 Culver Blvd. (that’s more reminiscent of Paul!)

The schools they attended are: Westchester High School 7400 W. Manchester Avenue (she was alleged to have been in the process of purchasing the apartment complex across the street in 1976,) Orville Wright Junior High now Middle School (which was originally Westchester High,) 6550 West 80th Street and Paseo Del Rey Elementary 7751 Paseo Del Rey Koven's house was right near this on Redlands (these are also best left to be viewed on a d riving tour, as security at the L. A. County schools is generally high and rightly so!)

She used to work at the Winchell’s Doughnut shop at 8139 Manchester (but I don’t know if it is still there...) I think the day care Center she worked at and was to purchase is at 311 Culver Boulevard, but not sure as I had no need for a Jewish day care center while I was in L.A. (if it’s next to a liquor store and has a faux school like bell tower that would be the place!)

Anissa spent many hours at the Loyola Theater 8610 Sepulveda Boulevard, (and the Westchester Center in general) and was pretty much unchanged when I was there (but now it’s a medical office building.) Standing in front of the great building, you can almost imagine her near the front row watching Paper Moon and the Great Gatsby! (Tim Burton was no stranger there as well!) I hear the premier of the Trouble With Girls was at Grauman's on Hollywood Boulevard, but you probably have that down on your Hollywood tour anyway.

Sandpiper Street is just beachward of L.A.X. on the thin strip south of Playa Del Rey proper but there isn’t much to see there, save for deaf rabbits and a park near a butterfly preserve! (She used to hide out in the abandoned buildings there when she was a runaway.)

Dockweiler State Beach ‘is located at the western terminus of Imperial Highway in Playa del Rey’, where she and Paul spent many hours but The Lagoon Park (Del Rey Lagoon Park) has a lot of history for the Jones’ as well. If you are in that area you might as well view the Trolleys; Trolley Place and Trolleyway Street where they used to skate as well as Rees Street and Montreal Street, (she grew up at 100 Rees and her Dad and Elaine had a place on Montreal right near Rees...) I wouldn’t try bothering anybody though, unless you enjoy the L.A.P.D. (and trust me you won’t!) Bobby grew up over on Barbour right across both Vista Del Mars.

I’m not sure your would find it pleasant, but she spent a good deal of time at Juvenile Detention Facilities on 1605 Eastlake Avenue and Las Palmas school for girls (now the Dorothy Kirby Center) at 1500 S. McDonnell Avenue in L. A.

The Temple of Good Things, 2022 Purdue Avenue was a head shop and she used to like the blacklight section there, however they moved from the location that they used to be at when she was a regular. Also next to Danny’s Liquor 6830 La Tijera Boulevard is a 99 cent store where there used to be a head shop that also had a blacklight section, unfortunately she got arrested there so it’s a bitter sweet memory! (Same thing at the Zody’s on Slauson, at least where it used to be! It’s a K-Mart now I am told.)

The Westchester girls said they used to cruise Manchester looking for boys and hang out at Manchester and Lincoln Boulevards hoping to meet the college boys. And that Anissa was good at cruising althoug h she was really er’ frugal!

Finally the infamous addresses, Dr. Moshos 1617 Cravens Avenue Torrance (where she got the ‘reds’) and 2312 Littler Lane Oceanside (the Hennessy residence where she died.) Same caution here though, the original owners are gone, so I wouldn’t bother anyone!

Don’t worry about copying all of the addresses, I have some Yahoo maps with all of them marked for you, just e-mail me at swtechaz@yahoo.com and I’ll fire them off for you! (Just take lots of pics for us!)

With some respect, you can have a good time and walk those footsteps and maybe even find an inscription or two in the cement on Trolleyway or Montreal or even Rees (if they are still there.)"

I'm just curious Airwick...what's the fascination?

She was too young to have produced anything close to a body of work that anyone could consider brilliant acting, she took her trust funds earned from her folks exploiting her, then proceeded to blow it all on high living and heavy drugs, leading to her death. Other than a charming and naiive television show...what about her life is admirable?

Hi Wordbiker, I dont agree with your assumptions but I'll answer your question. Familiarity with a subject, sadness for a life lost too soon, and learning how that loss affected the lives of those who loved her after the death.

I didn't know Anissa, but I know the time she was growing up in,...... people like to look back at time nostalgically or, as the opposite, forget what it was like to grow up during that period and make crass generalizations about a person's life. I look at it from the point we all have a story to share.

Anissa's story was repeated in every state throughout the country in the seventies. The anti-romanticing of "Dazed and Confused" .....

I felt the same loose connection with the young lady who lost her life when she was sixteen in the pool at Carowinds back in 1987. She wasn't famous, no one remembers her name, but she was five years younger than myself and we shared the experience of Carowinds. She was gone too soon.

Anissa isn't to be admired because she was a child star. But just like you and me, she had a story to share.

Anissa Jones would have enjoyed Foo............

what fascinates me is how these days you are forced to immediately hear about every time this one gets drunk or that one gets into a cab with no underwear on, etc etc. Back then, no internet, no cable TV, etc. so frankly I never heard about her death until about ten years later, and it was cause that song came on the college radio station when I was working the overnight shift......

btw Johnnie Whitaker kinda went down the tubes fast...he did that lousy Tom Sawyer film even Jodie Foster couldn't save.

I will say while I didn't like Family Affair (My older sister who was bigger than me and thus controlled tv channel selection) I did dig Mr. French and I always coveted their posh apartment! Especially those door knobs. I just never saw Bill Davis as an architect...he looked drunk all the time.

thought he was an engineer? Mike Brady was the architect,.... Uncle Bill traveled to exotic places like Peru,......

Watch that Family Affair link I posted above,.... French was creepy.

Anissa Jones touched a lot of lives.

LOL, no she didn't, quit being creepy, you're scaring Foo.

This is pretty obsessive.

I obsessed briefly over the door knobs.

Just don't start a JonBenet Ramsey thread...Mmmkay?

What a shame. I would like to have known her, but I was just a kid. Her candle burned out long before her legend ever did.
