![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Biography:Actress Lisa Gerritsen embarked on a dramatic career for a very brief albeit memorable period of time -- from around 1969 (at the age of 12) to 1978 (at the age of 21), when she finally hung up her acting gloves and moved out of the spotlight. The world first took notice of Gerritsen when she signed for a role in the short-lived NBC sitcom My World and Welcome to It (1969-1970). Loosely adapted from the writings of humorist James Thurber, the program starred William Windom (She's Having a Baby) as John Monroe -- a husband and father of one who worked as a writer and cartoonist, suffered from an enormous sense of insecurity, and lived in his daydreams. Gerritsen co-starred as Lydia Monroe, John's preteen daughter. Unfortunately, despite a cover article in TV Guide circa 1969 and an abortive attempt by CBS to revive the series in 1972, it never connected with a substantial audience.
