Lisa Gerritsen
Biography
Lisa Gerritsen, born Lisa Orszag in Los Angeles, is an American former child actress who started performing at eleven. Encouraged by her mother and grandfather, she won her first professional role in a 1968 episode of The Doris Day Show. Several appearances on Gunsmoke helped her land her first regular part, Lydia Monroe, on the 1969 NBC comedy My World and Welcome to It, which earned two Emmy awards but was canceled after a single season. In 1970 she took the role of Bess Lindstrom, the quick-witted daughter of Phyllis Lindstrom, on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and she carried Bess into the spinoff Phyllis. She also had guest spots on The Odd Couple, Bonanza and Family Affair, and her films included Airport and The War Between Men and Women (1972). She left acting at twenty, after Phyllis was canceled.
