What Don Knotts and Daughter Karen ‘Butted Heads’ Over When She Was a Teenager

The Andy Griffith Show actor Don Knotts had his daughter, Karen Knotts, in 1954 with his first wife, Kathryn Metz (they also had a son together named Thomas). While there was a lot of love between Don and Karen, they disagreed on one major thing when Karen was a young teen. 

Don Knotts didn’t want daughter Karen to enter the world of show business  

Karen thinks of Don as a “great father.” But they did disagree about one thing. Karen wanted to act for as long as she could remember. Don didn’t think that was a good idea.
