1970s and 1980s
During the 1970s, McBain slowed her career somewhat to care for her son Evan,
though she continued to make guest appearances in a number of television series.
"I never really cared about superstardom, I only cared about the roles that were
available to those who were superstars," she later said. "I was motivated to
continue on in the face of total failure because I had a child to rear on my own
with little help from his father. Acting was the best way for me to make money
and the best way for me to be a more present mom in my son's life. Full-time
jobs brought in money but kept me away from the day-to-day life of my child."
McBain guest starred on Love, American Style, Mannix, To Rome with Love, Land of
the Giants, and Mod Squad.
She had roles in the features The Delta Factor (1970), The Wild Season (1971),
(1974), which she later called "the stupidest screenplay I ever had to work
with."
McBain also guested on the TV series The Wide World of Mystery, Police Story,
Barbary Coast, and Marcus Welby, M.D..
Towards the end of the 1970s and in the early 1980s McBain was in Donner Pass:
The Road to Survival (1978), The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, Hawaii Five-O,
Charlie's Angels, Eight Is Enough, Days of Our Lives, Dallas, Matt Houston,
Airwolf, The Red Fury, Crazy Like a Fox, and Knight Rider. She also worked
steadily in regional theatre.
Attack
In 1982, McBain was beaten, robbed and raped by two men in her garage at West
Hollywood at 1.30 am on Christmas Day, after she came home from a party. She
began a second career as a rape victim counselor.
They never found the culprits. "The shock of what happened caused loss of
memory, inability to concentrate, and I'm still startled out of proportion," she
said in 1990
