Kristy's First Television Appearance (?) - 1969

kristymcnichol.net has located this footage of what could very well be Kristy McNichol's first television appearance ever! If not her first then this would certainly be among her earliest television work. A very young Kristy is seen, along with comedian/actor Bill Dailey, in this 30-second advertisement for Velveeta®. Kristy has stated in several interviews that her first acting job was in a Kraft® cheese commercial, could this be it? Could this be the small commercial role that launched Kristy's long and memorable career?
