The My Three Sons actress Dawn Lyn underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour, and she is now fighting for her life in a coma.
The former child actress became famous at the young age of six after appearing in the final three seasons of the CBS sitcom as Dorothy Dodie Harper-Douglas.
Her former co-stars, including Stanley Livingston, shared information about the now 59-year-illness old’s on social media and begged followers to pray for Dawn’s recovery.
“Please pray for her to have a swift and full recovery. I took Dawn out to lunch a couple of months ago. We had a great time reminiscing about our MTS days. Dawn is one of the nicest human beings I have ever known.
“Thoughts and prayers also go out to her husband, John, at this time. This is devastating news!”
Tina Cole, who played Katie Miller-Douglas on the show, also added a heartfelt message.
My sincere prayers are with my “My Three Sons” beautiful “lil’ sis,” Dawn Lyn (Dodie), and her husband John, she wrote. After having brain surgery, Dawn is in a life-threatening situation.
Leif Garrett, Dawn’s 60-year-old brother, told TMZ that the family has lately lost loved ones and pleaded for the public to respect their privacy.
“My sister, Dawn, never wanted anyone to know about the procedure,” he said, according to the publication.
“Since it has been leaked on social media, I would really appreciate everyone’s understanding that it has already been a difficult time having lost both of our parents and a cousin recently.
“Please just keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers and respect our family’s privacy. Thank you.”
