A Tribute to Yvette Nipar

This is my personal tribute to Yvette Nipar, an actress who has not received nearly enough popular and critical accolades.  I hope that this page will, in some small way, begin to rectify that.

If you have any additions, suggestions, comments, or questions, feel free to email me at .

Has anyone visiting this site ever met Yvette?  If so, please consider writing and telling us what she is like in person!  I would love to have a section devoted to stories contributed by those who have met her.

I. RECENT NEWS

	2007 March:	"Walking Tall -- The Payback" has been released on DVD. It's IMDB page is here, and it's Amazon.com page is here.
	2006 May:	According to Alan Peppard, Lifestyles Columnist for the Dallas News, Yvette Nipar and Kevin Sorbo are co-starring in the independent features "Walking Tall 2" and "Walking Tall 3".  The films are being shot back-to-back in Dallas until the end of June.
	2005 August:	I have received a number of emails asking about the disappearance of Patrick McDermott and his relationship to Yvette Nipar.  After doing some research online, the best information I have found is: Patrick McDermott has not been seen since going on a 24-hour fishing trip out of San Pedro, about 33km south of Los Angeles, on June 30. Yvette Nipar and McDermott were married on March 1, 1992, when Nipar was four months pregnant with their son, Chance.  They divorced just over a year later, on June 30, 1993. It was Nipar who first alerted police that McDermott was missing.  She did so on July 10, when she found McDermott's car parked at the 22nd Street pier in San Pedro.  She had become concerned when he failed to appear at a family function on July 6. Reportedly, one theory being considered by the police is that McDermott faked his own disappearance to avoid having to pay outstanding child support.  There are witnesses who claim to have seen McDermott get off the fishing boat at the end of the trip. I hope all those who visit this site will join me in keeping Yvette and her son in our thoughts, and in wishing for a safe and quick resolution to the situation.

IV. YVETTE IN PERSON

Years ago, when I lived in Baytown and waitressed with Yvette's mother, I needed a babysitter for my little guy and little gal.  When I got home from an evening out, we found out that they had had a slight accident.  Evidently, one of them had spilled a Coke on a table (cardboard under the tablecloth).  The table collapsed eventually with a lit candle on it.  It could have been a horrible happening, but Yvette made sure a possible disaster was averted.  Quick thinking teen!  This mom is one of her earliest fans!
