Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

I feel bad for everyone involved with making 7th Heaven, because their show is now going to be buried and never shown again because of him.

More tragic 7th Heaven news....

Sarah Goldberg, Who Appeared in ‘7th Heaven,’ Dies at 40
October 7, 2014 | 06:19PM PT
Variety Staff

Sarah Danielle Goldberg, who played Sarah Glass Camden on “7th Heaven,” died in her sleep Sept. 27 in Wisconsin. Her family suspected a heart attack, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. She was 40.

She also appeared in “Jurassic Park III,” “The Beast,” “Judging Amy” and Colleen Sarkossian on the recent reboot of “Beverly Hills 90210.”

In “7th Heaven,” she played the daughter of a rabbi who fell in love with Matt Camden, the son of a pastor played by Stephen Collins.

She also played a college student seeking drugs in “Training Day.”

She also appeared in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Without a Trace.”

Originally from Chicago, Goldberg got her entry into show business helping arrange table linens and serving as an extra in “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” which was filmed in the area.

She is survived by her parents and a brother.

He is the Father from 7th Heaven, last time I saw him in anything was his small part in Blood Diamond.

Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

Collins also had a small but critical role in the great All The President's Men. If the timeline is right the transgressions he apparently admits to happened around the time of the filming. Sad shite all around.

Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

I thought I read years ago he was also an author of the cheesy romantic novels. The type that feature shirtless guys and women draped all over them on the covers.

Sad if true.

Maybe Woody Allen can hire him for one of his films.

I'm sure there are others. I never watched that 7th Heaven show, but was aware of him from other work. I wonder if he'll be arrested.

Not necessarily. Polanski, Woody, Victor Salva, Jeffrey Jones (OK, he hasn't gotten many gigs).

Apparently he and former Playmate Donna D'Errico are neighbors. She's on Twitter claiming that he shot himself and that the police have the street roped off.

I've never seen it.

I went through his filmography and aside from playing Andy's dad in The Office, there's nothing else I remember him in.

Looks like he was in a single episode of SVU and Always Sunny. Don't recall what his roles were, though.

So he's pretty much just a character actor.

I think "lead actor in a TV series that lasted eleven seasons" bumps him up from character actor status.

Obviously I didn't care enough to google but if it's the 'dad'. Wow... Just wow.

I hated that show but he seemed decent.

Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

I guess since Revolution didnt get much praise here, nobody knew he played somewhat a big role in it.

Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

Many people would recognize him as an actor if they posted his picture in this thread. He's played a lot of smaller roles over the years in both film and television.

Re: Actor Stephen Collins Admits to Molesting Children

As people have said for years, Hollywood is full of these kind of people.

I am no longer surprised when I here of stuff like this.

He got caught, most do not. If an actress/actor comes forward, their careers are over...and most likey the criminal will go on working in Hollywood.
