Karen Grassle as Caroline Ingalls
An undiscovered newcomer, Karen Grassle’s first acting credit was Caroline Ingalls – the n0-nonsense mom of Laura. After her character ended its run in the show, she said goodbye to Hollywood and relocated to New Mexico, and opened Santa Fe’s Resource Theatre Company, where she served as the artistic director. Later on, she moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where she worked with the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
She mainly did theatrical productions, but she still continued booking occasional on-screen shows, including a feature film with Kevin Costner. She now enjoys most of her free time with her family.
