Jones was only six years old when she began her acting career in commercials before being cast in CBS's Family Affair when she was eight. She played the title role of Buffy Davis, one of the orphaned children Brian Keith's leading character tries to raise after his on-screen brother's death.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garver looks back at working with Jones and the plea her mother made one day. On screen, Garver played Jones' on-screen sister, 15-year-old Cissy, and remembers having attended her co-star's 18th birthday.
“I said that I’d love to. I was leaving the next day to go back east to do the musical My Fair Lady. I’d be gone for two months, but as soon as I got back, absolutely. We were very close. She spent the night at my house a couple times.”

“These drugs kill people,” Garver said. “It’s just so sad. We’ve lost so many of the child stars because of the drugs, and there’s no one there [to support them].”
“They go to the drugs and the groups that are happy to have them be there," she adds. Jones' brother Paul would also die from a drug overdose at the age of 24 in 1984.
