Which Waltons actors were actually alive during the 1930s?

Which cast members experienced the world of the show firsthand?

 Warner Brothers

The Waltons harkened back to a harder yet simpler time. It started in the middle of the Depression and continued through World War II. Because it aired almost four decades after it took place, many of the actors never knew the world of the show. However, even if they were small children at the time, a few cast members did experience life in the real 1930s.

See if you can guess which actors were alive during the 1930s and which ones weren't!
