Melissa Gilbert started acting at a young age and was cast as Laura Ingalls Wilder at 9 years old. She starred on the show for 10 years and her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, La Casa de la Pradera (Little House on the Prairie) was one of Spanish Television's most popular series. The continued popularity of the show led to the appearance of Katherine MacGregor (Harriet Oleson) on 625 Lineas and Ding Dong in 1980. Because of its historical context and its connection to the book series, it is deemed acceptable for use by the FCC to meet federal E/I programming guidelines. The show is typically stripped (run five days a week) in syndication, which is enough to completely cover a TV station's E/I requirements and more.
Little House on the Prairie Cast: Where Are They Now?
She narrates the novel from a slightly older perspective than when she was experiencing it and refers to herself in the third person as “Laura.” She goes along with what her family wants but feels sad to leave her home in the Big Woods. She has noticed the same issues as her father, that the area is becoming more populated and that animals are scarcer. Martha Morse was born on January 2, 1782, in Scotland, where her father was a wealthy landowners in the Scottish Highlands. Her mostly fictionalised story was told in the four-book series The Martha Years, by Melissa Wiley. Martha was Charlotte Tucker's mother and great-grandmother to Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Jennifer Donati (Baby Rose Wilder)
This is technically a two-part episode where there is a drought and Almanzo Wilder (Dean Butler) loses his crop and the land. Laura suggests she take a teaching position to help them earn money for a new farm, but Almanzo objects and postpones the wedding. He explains to Charles that, because of Uncle Ned’s eccentric lifestyle, his whole estate amounted to nothing – just a box containing worthless Confederate money. To try and collect her debt, Mrs. Oleson immediately forecloses on the Ingalls farm. But the friends in town come up with a plan to help the Ingalls keep their property.
Jason Bateman as James Cooper Ingalls
She also wrote an autobiography entitled The Way I See It - A Look Back at My Life on Little House. Anderson won an Emmy in 1979 for an Afterschool Special, Which Mother is Mine?. Twenty years later, she was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The main man of the little house, Charles Ingalls, or Pa, was a hard-working, honest, salt-of-the-earth kind of guy.
When her grandmother begs Charles for help, he has an idea for a way to help Olga, despite her embittered father Jon's (Jan Merlin) lack of support. Jon happens to be overly protective of his child's safety and doesn't want his daughter to go anywhere in her condition, even to a point of wanting to keep her isolated, much to his mother's (Olga's grandmother) dismay. Then, when the Ingalls girls have their own party with their friends from school, Laura exacts her revenge on Nellie.
After a raccoon who the Ingalls all think is Jasper kills some of their chickens, Charles is forced to kill the rabid raccoon. Charles also fears that Jack might have rabies and keeps him in the barn. One day, Charles brought Isaiah Edwards (hereafter known to Laura as “Mr. Edwards”) home with him to help build their cabin. Laura and Mr. Edwards shared a tearful goodbye, but they would soon meet again. Laura was a spirited young tomboy who would do anything just to go fishing or play three-cat with the other children. She “hated homework,” which she hinted at throughout the first few episodes of the series, but attested to as fact in the episode, “The Wisdom of Solomon,” when a Negro boy comes to the Ingalls’ household hoping for a better home and education.
Their relationship appears to be blooming, until they have a serious difference of opinion. When Harriet Oleson’s niece Kate (Anne Archer, who played Michael Douglas’ wife in Fatal Attraction) comes to visit Walnut Grove, she and the much older Doc Baker fall in love fast. It’s the Ingalls family origin story and shows the immediate challenges they face as soon as they settle on the banks of Plum Creek, just outside Walnut Grove. Ellin believes it’s also where you get first examples of how kind, tough, and hard-working the family was. In this episode, a lawyer visits to tell Charles that he is the heir to the massive estate of his late Uncle Ned, who owned the Ingalls Carriage Company, and a large house in St Louis.
Charles first locates the young father, Bobbie, and together they find the mother who is his beloved, Anna. They had wanted to marry but she was taken away by her strictly religious father who is deeply embittered because his wife went off with another man. Fearing his reaction, Anna had managed to keep secret that she was pregnant and even that she had given birth, but then realized that she could not keep the baby while staying with her father. Bobbie takes Anna back with him, while her father chooses to stay alone in the woods. Anna is reunited with her baby, telling Laura she will keep the name Grace.
The fledgling business quickly becomes the target of robbers, and Jonathan becomes a deputy to support the sheriff in dealing with the villains. With help from Charles, Jonathan catches the ringleaders, but then Andy is beaten up by the gang, and the repercussions lead to a violent and tragic outcome. When the circus comes to town, Nels discovers that his estranged obese sister, Annabelle, whom he was always ashamed of when they were kids, is the Fat Lady, and seeks to avoid anyone knowing this. Meanwhile, Laura becomes depressed when she goes to ask Almanzo to the circus, only to find out that he is already taking a rude, snobby and snooty young woman named Christie, for whom she has been mending a dress.
When she took on the role of Ma, or Caroline Ingalls, Karen Grassle was an undiscovered newcomer. Despite her lack of credits, she auditioned to play Laura Ingalls' no-nonsense mom and won the part. After Little House ended its run, Grassle said adios to Hollywood and moved to New Mexico where she opened Santa Fe’s Resource Theater Company. She did return to California eventually and landed a part in Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp. In 2008, she became the spokeswoman for Premier Bathrooms, a maker of bathing supplies for the elderly.
He is forced to relent, however, when he is told that the leaders and businessmen of other nearby towns, having heard what happened in Walnut Grove, announce they will do the same thing. As Lassiter walks off in defeat, Reverend Alden loudly proclaims that Walnut Grove did not die in vain, prompting a huge celebration. Jason begins doing odd jobs for an aging woman, Ruthy Leland (Vera Miles).
Nellie exploits Laura's guilty feelings, but then Laura makes a discovery which leads to a comeuppance for Nellie, and Bunny becomes Laura's horse again. Albert (Matthew Labyorteaux) takes a job as an apprentice for a woodworker Isaac Singerman (John Bleifer), a Jewish man who is the target of deep prejudice in the community. Charles and Albert return to Walnut Grove after Albert has repeated run-ins with the law for curfew violations and theft.
