EIGHT IS ENOUGH” cutie Susan Richardson is desperately ill and living in a broken-down trailer that she can’t even afford to heat!
“It’s 14 degrees out, and I’m sitting here in sweatpants and gloves – and I’m still cold!” Susan, 60, told The ENQUIRER from her frigid Pennsylvania home.
The down-on-her-luck actress – who played fourth oldest sibling Susan Bradford on the beloved series from 1977 to 1981 – is also battling a host of serious medical problems.
She’s diabetic, suffered a series of strokes and lost all her teeth to an incurable digestive tract condition.
But the once-bouncy redhead insists she’s soldiering on – getting by on a small TV pension and fashioning canes for military veterans out of birch branches she collects in the woods.
“I don’t want to complain too much, but I’ve had more than my share of problems,” said Susan.
