 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

Lauren Chapin, the youngest child on Father Knows Best, dies at 80

Lauren Chapin, best known for playing the precocious Kathy “Kitten” Anderson on the 1950s television classic Father Knows Best, has died at the age of 80. Chapin’s son, Matthew, shared on Facebook that she passed away on Tuesday after a battle with cancer.

Chapin began her career with appearances on a 1952 episode of CBS’s Lux Video Theatre and the 1954 film A Star Is Born starring Judy Garland. She joined Father Knows Best at age 9, partly because she closely resembled one of Robert Young’s real daughters, also named Kathy. On the show, she starred alongside Elinor Donahue as Betty “Princess” Anderson, Billy Gray as James “Bud” Anderson Jr., Jane Wyatt as Margaret Anderson, and Young as patriarch Jim Anderson. The series ran for six seasons from 1954 to 1960, with reruns airing for years afterward, and reunited the cast for two specials in 1977.

Born May 23, 1945, in Los Angeles, Chapin came from a family of child actors, including brothers Billy and Michael Chapin. She trained under Columbia Pictures and studied with choreographers Gower and Marge Champion, as well as French mime Marcel Marceau. Her early life, however, was marked by trauma, including alleged abuse by her father, struggles with mental health, and substance use. Chapin spoke publicly about these challenges, recounting bouts of drug addiction, miscarriages, early marriages, and exploitation in her youth.

After achieving sobriety in the 1970s, Chapin found work as a minister and talent manager, helping launch the careers of performers such as Jennifer Love Hewitt. She also wrote a memoir, Father Does Know Best, and appeared in the 2016 YouTube series School Bus Diaries. Chapin is survived by her son, Matthew, her daughter, Summer, and her brother Michael. She once reflected on her career, saying she would have welcomed another wholesome television series like Father Knows Best, “one that has no violence, no sex, and shows nothing but purity and love.”
