Karen Knotts. Don Knott’s Daughter

Karen Knotts is bringing her multi-media comedy show to the Robins theatre this week.  She’s the daughter of tv legend, Don Knotts.  She spoke with Gary Rivers this week about her childhood, meeting Ron Howard on the set, and of course, her dad.

During her childhood and teen years, Knotts says she and her father often “butted heads” over her desire to enter show business: “I always wanted to be an actress, even when I was young, but he said, ‘No, that’s not a good life for a child.” She went on to say that he supported her “100 percent in the end”
