Charlene Tilton Facts

  1. Charlene’s parents were estranged when her mother was pregnant with her. She grew up never knowing who her father was.
  2. While in high school, her mother was battling mental illness and she was facing a financial crunch. A few years later, at the age of 17, she auditioned and was selected for the role of Lucy Ewing on the TV show Dallas. Charlene had to play the role of the niece of the character J.R. Ewing which was being played by Larry Hagman.
  3. Larry made her comfortable during the shoots and the two developed such a strong bond that she often used to refer to him as her ‘surrogate father’. When her contract had expired, Larry fought with the producers to get her back and Charlene stayed connected with her ‘Uncle Larry’ in the late 90s and early 2000s when he was battling poor health.
  4. Charlene was the guest host for February 21, 1981, episode of the iconic late-night variety show Saturday Night Live. The episode featured a parody of an episode from Dallas through which Charlene had made her name. During the end scenes of the episode, Charlene asked cast member Charles Rocket a question which Charles replied with the f-word. The incident led to his dismissal from the show.
  5. In 2001, she was honored with the ‘Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement’ award by the Young Artist Foundation.
  6. She has done tremendous work for autism awareness and has been a volunteer, since 2010, with Actors for Autism, an organization that facilitates acting workshops for people with autism.
