I've been blessed to have met her at an event at the Natural History Museum in LA. She had full Grey hair and was suprised I recognized her.. She was kind enough to sign a piece of paper with her autograph. She signed it Bonnie of Knight Rider.. I was blown away..

[smavtmb]

I'm one of the countless young men that had a crush on her in the 80's and was not happy about her absence in season 2 of knight rider
I think she deserved even more screen time.

[mojo]

I would love to trade my time as an adult now to be grown in the 80s. I was 6 years old when Knight Rider came out. The 80s were so promising. A real golden era.

[markmclaughlin]

Patricia also appeared in "This is your life - David Hasselhoff" in 1994 with the pee seats K.I.T.T, Edward Mulhare, Peter Parros and The Hoff.

Ah, "Battle of the Network Stars" always reminded me of the track and field days when I was in grade school.

[DavidR-ubdp]

Joe thanks for taking time for patricia McPherson she's always been my heartthrob back in the 80s as Bonnie like David I would love to meet them in person some day

[MGower]

Always thought "Bonnie" was a lot more credible as a computer engineer and mechanic than April. April just didn't sell the mechanic part of the role

Man I had a massive crush on her when I was a kid!! She was so beautiful.. I was devastated when she wasn't in the second season of Knight Rider. It was like that time they tried to replace the Duke boys in the Dukes of Hazzard. I was NOT happy! 😄😄

[ClarkOVision]

Just reading these comments today…. Does this woman know how much she is loved and treasured in the hearts of us fans?
It would be lovely if she’d come out and do an interview. As many have said there’s not a lot of info out there on her but if she wishes to be more private then that has to be respected.
But I just hope she knows how much she’s loved as much as the rest of the Knight Rider family. 👍

[cairsahrstjoseph]

I only really knew her in Knight Rider, and is arguably my first crush, even before I knew what that was.

She was just beautiful.

[tryksta]

"The Patriot, " eh? Been wondering what movie she referred to as to why she did not appear in "Voo Doo Knight" all these years. Surprised her IMDb has those inaccuracies. This channel solves a lot of mysteries!

[nunoneto]

The cherry on top of the cake would be a recent interview with her. Greetings from Portugal.

[dannyr]

Very thorough look at Ms McPherson's acting career. Well done guys! (only two of her appearances from the list I knew about were MacGyver and Star Trek: TNG's awful episode 'Angel One'). Fun fact (though not really...): Patricia McPherson and I share the same birthday!!!

[popretro]

Great rundown of Patricia's credits, guys. Patricia, Adam West & Richard Dawson together in the same frame is a sight to see!

[phoenixblack]

Love this stuff! Awesome detective work!! Patricia McPherson is probably my biggest crush to this day.

[joeydemitro]

Patricia McPherson is the reason why I used to watch knight rider and I had a crush on Bonnie Barstow

[RoodeMenon]

Wow that clip from "Prime Risk" had a lot of energy, camera on the move, tight edits... Nobody was slacking.

[andrewmorton]

Probably my first crush 😍 KITT’s Mum & a beautiful woman, what more could an 80s 10 year old kid want?!? 🤣

[seanlavoie]

That clip of Prime Risk was pretty impressive. Dry financial information is rarely made that interesting.

[GrnArrow]

I've done a little bit of web searching to find that Patricia wasn't the only Knight Rider main cast member to appear in an episode of Star Trek. Peter Parros played the role of an unnamed Klingon officer in the TNG episode "A Matter of Honor". William Daniels played the voice of a computer named The Allocator in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Critical Care".
