According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Crystal Bernard’s net worth, as of early 2017, is $5 million, acquired primarily through her acting career which has been active since 1982, but her music career has provided an important part of Bernard’s current wealth too.
Crystal was born the second out of four daughters of Gaylon Fussell and Jerry Wayne Bernard, who was a televangelist. At a very early age she became interested in gospel music, and later in acting while she was involved with Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas. After matriculating from Spring High School in Texas, she enrolled at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, from which she graduated with a degree in acting and international relations.
In order to pursue a full-time acting career, Bernard transferred to Los Angeles, California, where at first she took part in commercials.

After briefly appearing in the “Fantasy Island” TV series in 1983, Crystal Bernard got her first, more notable role, in “Happy Days”, ABC’s sitcom in which she appeared as K. C.

Crystal Bernard Quotes
- We actors have to be conscious of ourselves; there’s vanity involved. There’s a competitiveness. There’s something that’s not appealing to me about myself that I try to get away from. I’m constantly trying. To see that in others, that doesn’t feel like home to me.
- I knew that I did not want to be a statistic, that I wanted happiness within, and I wanted to be present because I knew what a great mover I was. I could move things and make things happen.
