Education And Childhood
Dawn Lyn (Pinterest)Dawn and her brother Leif Garrett were raised by their father Rik Nervik, who was away for the majority of the children’s childhood, and their mother Carolyn Stellar, who took two jobs to support herself and the children.
Dawn went to a nearby elementary school and spent her free time acting and appearing in movies and TV shows.
Around the age of eight, a guy who escaped from prison claimed to be Dawn’s father and threatened to abduct her and flee the country, prompting Dawn’s mother to get her a German Shepherd dog named Thor to protect her – the offender was finally apprehended by police. Dawn enrolled in a local high school in 1977 and quit acting during her second year to focus on living a ‘regular life.’ She began participating in several sports and, following graduation in 1981, did not enroll in college but instead found work.

Dawn made her cinematic debut at the age of seven in 1970, when she played the Indian Child (uncredited performance) in the western film “Cry Blood, Apache,” starring Jody McCrea and Marie Gahva, and about a bunch of sadistic cowboys looking for gold; nonetheless, the film garnered mixed reviews. In the same year, she played Stephanie at the age of five in the comedy film “I Love My Wife,” which starred Elliott Gould and Brenda Vaccaro and followed a successfully married surgeon who begins sleeping with several women; the film earned Angel Tompkins a Golden Globe Award nomination for Most Promising Newcomer – Female.

Dawn’s final film role before retiring was as Dwana in the 1977 action crime drama “Final Chapter: Walking Tall,” which depicts the final days of life and the death of Buford Pusser. Despite having retired from acting, Dawn accepted invitations to feature in the documentary series “TV Land Confidential” in 2005 and “Biography” in 2008, as well as two documentary films “The Actor’s Journey” and “The Actor’s Journey for Kids” in 2011.
TV Series Characters
Dawn made her television debut in 1971, as Kathy in the episode “The People vs. Lindsey” of the crime drama series “The D.A.”, which lasted after its first season, but the following year she portrayed Amy Swanson in the episode “Death Is a Double-Cross” of the action crime drama series “Cannon.”
The following year, she appeared as Melissa Feinstein in the episode “A Quality of Fear” of the drama series “The Bold Ones: The New Doctors,” for which David Hartman was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Actor – Drama.

Relationship Status
Dawn has had two marriages. She married Michael Whitby, a British historian, on 14 December 1990 after dating him for two years; they divorced on 20 July 2001; they don’t have children together, and rumor has it that Dawn is either unable to have children or does not want any because she has been focused on her career since graduating from high school.
The fact that she has been married to her second husband, William John Reese, since 8 April 2006, and that the two have no children together, although her husband has a son from his former marriage, has contributed to the spread of these accusations.
Dawn and William relocated to Hawaii in the second half of the 2000s after William was offered a well-paying position there, but Dawn also spends a significant amount of time in Los Angeles.
