‘Little House On The Prairie': Where Are Stars Of Classic Series Now?
More than 50 years after the premiere of 'Little House on the Prairie,' Netflix is rebooting the series. Where are the original cast members from the classic TV show?
Little House on the Prairie, of course, is the family drama based on based on famed author Laura Ingalls Wilder's book series about her life growing up in the Midwest. The series Little House on the Prairie — which is based on Wilder's third book of the same name — is set on her family's farm in Walnut Grove, Minn.
The series kicked off in March of 1974 with the airing of the pilot episode on NBC and began its official run in September of 1974. In total, the original Little House on the Prairie ran for nine seasons consisting of 204 episodes, from 1974 to 1983.
Little House on the Prairie stars Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and Michael Landon and Karen Grassle as her parents, Charles and Caroline Ingalls, while Melissa Sue Anderson plays the oldest daughter in the Ingalls family, Mary.
In addition, twin siblings Sidney Greenbush and Rachel Lindsay Greenbush share the role of the second-youngest daughter, Carrie, and twins Wendi Turnbaugh and Brenda Turnbaugh play the Ingalls' youngest daughter, Grace.
Other prominent cast members in Little House on the Prairie include Allison Arngrim as Nellie Oleson, the antagonistic daughter of general store owners Harriet (Katherine MacGregor) and Nels (Richard Bull). Matthew Labyorteaux also starred in the series as Albert Quinn Ingalls, who was adopted by the Ingalls family, as did Dean Butler as Laura Ingalls' future husband, Almonzo Wilder.
On Friday, Netflix announced the core cast of the streamer's Little House on the Prairie reboot, with Alice Halsey starring as Laura Ingalls. In addition, Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald have been cast as Charles and Caroline Ingalls, while Skywalker Hughes will play Mary Ingalls.
Here's a look at where some of the core cast members of Little House on the Prairie are now.

The Deeper Meaning Behind the 'My Oxford Year' Ending Montage
Spoilers below. The coming-of-age genre loves to make its characters choose between a relationship and their future. We're seeing it in The Summer I Turned Pretty, with Belly abandoning plans to study in Paris to stay with her fiancé, Jeremiah (who didn't want her to go anyway). Earlier this spring, we saw it in Forever: Justin wants to go with Keisha to Howard University, but she'd prefer that they have their own experiences. There are many other instances of this in pop culture, usually with the girl choosing a boy over her dreams. Cosmopolitan recently pointed out examples in The Hills, Boy Meets World, and more. (And let's not forget how Nate became the villain in The Devil Wears Prada for trying to keep Andy from her job.) Watching these relationships as the audience, it might be easy to scold the women who choose the boy. Like, Girl, stand up! He is not worth it! My Oxford Year, Netflix's newest romance film, complicates that decision with life-or-death stakes. The movie stars Sofia Carson (the streamer's go-to leading lady) as Anna, a big dreamer and type-A planner who takes a gap year to fulfill her childhood fantasy of attending Oxford University. Once she's done with her poetry course, she has a high-profile finance job waiting for her back in the States. But then she falls for her hot professor, Jamie Davenport (Queen Charlotte's Corey Mylchreest), who messes up her plans. Despite their undeniable mutual attraction, Jamie wants to avoid getting into a committed relationship with Anna. Not because he's emotionally unavailable, but because he has terminal cancer and doesn't want to break her heart. He has even opted to not take further treatment, despite his family's objections. Still, he and Anna can't resist each other, and they go for it anyway. They are so in love that Anna finds herself facing a critical decision: Should she still go back to the U.S. for her Goldman Sachs job, or should she stay in the U.K. with Jamie to help take care of him and keep him company for however much time he has left? An integral factor in this situation is that Jamie vehemently does not want Anna to stay. She has such a bright future ahead of her; she shouldn't give it up for a guy she just met and who won't be around for much longer. 'I would never make you make such a bloody stupid decision,' he tells her, also pointing out that there isn't much career growth if she decides to work at the university. When Anna tells him she isn't taking the Goldman job after all, he's furious. But Anna and Jamie's relationship has been quite eye-opening for her. Throughout their time together, her lifelong love for poetry and literature has only deepened. She expresses her dreams of traveling the world. She loves the Henry David Thoreau quote, 'Live life deliberately,' which has long inspired her to plan out every detail of her trajectory. But after encountering Jamie and his carpe diem approach to life, she realizes perhaps Thoreau was referring to something else. Living deliberately is not about planning everything, but about 'being definite about every small moment,' she says in the film. And what is life but not a series of moments? At the end of My Oxford Year, Anna and Jamie make up from their argument and spend the night together, but Anna wakes up to find Jamie nearly unconscious. He has a critical case of pneumonia that will likely kill him. At the hospital, the doctor wants to discuss next steps for treatment with Jamie's parents, but they decide to honor his wishes and let nature take its course. Back at home, lying on what is now Jamie's death bed, he and Anna talk about her future. Now that she's stayed in the U.K., she can go on the 'grand tour' she's always dreamed of. The itinerary includes Amsterdam, to see a hidden chapel; Paris, to get drunk by the Seine; Venice, to ride a gondola; and Greece, to see the Temple of Poseidon and swim in the Aegean Sea. As Anna plans her travels aloud, a tender montage of her and Jamie visiting these sites appears onscreen—until, in the end, it's revealed that she was alone the whole time. When the film jumps back to Jamie and Anna on the bed, it appears he has died right beside her. She might not have Jamie physically with her when she goes on her dream trip, but she does take his lessons and worldview with her as she moves forward with her life. As Carson previously told ELLE, their relationship 'changes her forever and for the better,' because she learns to 'lean into what brings her joy and what always was the love of her life, and that was poetry and literature.' Sure enough, in the film's final scene, Anna is now a professor at Oxford, teaching a poetry class of her own. My Oxford Year argues that choosing your love is choosing your future—especially if that love helps you achieve the dreams you were too scared to chase. In a sense, it eliminates the decision entirely, because you can have both; you can have your cake and eat it too. It's very romantic, it's melodramatic, and it's definitely rare, but it works in the context of a sappy, two-hour Netflix film with Sylvia Plath references and idyllic English settings. But in the cases of Belly from TSITP or Lauren from The Hills (who are both 'the girl who didn't go to Paris'), or any experience rooted deeper in reality, it's not quite the same. Those decisions, and the men involved, require a little more... deliberating.

Taron Egerton scared of 'jinxing' dream project
Taron Egerton doesn't want to "jinx" his dream project. The 35-year-old actor dreams of turning one of his favourite musicals into a film - but Taron doesn't want to jinx the project before he gets a green light. The Hollywood star told People: "There's a musical I love. "I daren't tell you what it is, because I don't want to jinx it. There's a really classic American musical that I really love that I would love to turn into a film. It's never been turned into a film and I think it would be amazing." Despite this, Taron admits that he'll have to overcome a series of obstacles before he can get the project off the ground. He said: "I'm really, really, really hoping that I can achieve that. It's very, very hard and the estate is super protective about it and rightly so. "If I manage it, you'll know about it and I think it would be incredible. But I will not jinx it by telling you what it is because I've been trying for some time." Meanwhile, Taron has played down talk that he could replace Daniel Craig as James Bond, insisting he's too "messy" for the role. The movie star believes there are "so many cool, younger actors" who would be better suited to the coveted role. Asked about the possibility of playing Bond, he told Collider: "I don't think I'm a good choice for it. I think I'm too messy for that. "I think I'm not — I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure. But I think I wouldn't be good at it, and I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably." Taron also observed that leading the Bond franchise is "quite an undertaking". He said: "That's not to say that I don't have aspirations and plans and also that I wouldn't be interested in doing something that's more commercial, because of course I would. I think I'm a period in my life where, as you say, I've been probably following the things that speak to me on a creative level a little bit more, but, you know, I'm sure I won't feel that way forever. "But James Bond is quite an undertaking and I think, one, as far as I'm aware, nobody's asking me to do it."

Logies 2025 live: Jelena Dokic hailed over 'amazing' speech, Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room'
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards has arrived, and host Sam Pang has us underway in his typical crude fashion. Jelena Dokic has been hailed for her powerful acceptance speech after the documentary delving into her abuse won the best documentary award. All eyes are on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. Favourite Lynne McGranger may be anticipating victory with her dress choice this evening, wearing a golden gown to the Logies. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. Logies drag on again Well you think they would have learnt their lesson, wouldn't you? After 2024's show stretched out to midnight, it seems this year's Logies is going the same way, judging by how quickly the show is ticking over. And viewers are less than impressed, taking to X to let their thoughts known. Take a look for yourself below. Going to be a darn long night if every presenter does a comedy routine before presenting an award.#tvweeklogies#logies#logies2025 — Nez (@fraggle73) August 3, 2025 At this rate the Logies should finish by Boxing Day. #Logies2025 — martydownunder4 (@martydownunder4) August 3, 2025 #logies #logies2025 #tvweeklogies 7 of 23 awards done. At this pace we're going to blow well past midnight with Magda's bit and the in memoriam section. — tbyrn21 (@tbyrn21) August 3, 2025 New award handed out Five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin was up on stage to hand out the inaugural new award named after him. And Ally Langdon was the first recipient of the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, calling Martin an "incredible man" and thanked him for guiding so many in the industry. "I think for a lot of us in this industry you are a big part why we got into it. Thank you so much for just showing and being that guiding light," she said. Hamish Blake accepts Logie, but he wants this one Hamish Blake does have his hands on a 2025 Logie, but it's one he did actually want to win. Lego Masters has won the Best Competition Reality Program award, and he accepted the award as host. 'This one is OK to win,' he said in reference to his 'anti-Gold Logie' campaign where he finds himself up against six women for the top award. Jelena Dokic hails 'massive' win for survivors Well it's fair to say Jelena Dokic has moved viewers at home. She gave an emotional acceptance speech after Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story won the Best Factual or Documentary Program. "I just want to thank you all. We have done a massive thing. This is not about winning. This is about a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health," she said, prompting strong applause from the audience. The show, which delves into the physical and mental abuse she received at the hands of her father and coach Damir, prompted widespread praise on its release, with Dokic hailed for her courage. There was an outpouring of love for Dokic online, with sports media identity Ralph Horowitz calling her "the best of Australia". "A speech as good as her amazing story of resilience and success," he said on X. Guy Montgomery wins Most Popular New Talent award Guy Montgomery has won the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent thanks to Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Accepting his award, he was quick to point out where he's from. "This is really crazy, I am from New Zealand. I know, so I am so sorry to all of your country but suck it, we got one up on you time!" No surprises in the Children's Program category Well this isn't a surprise at all really, is it? Being one of the biggest success stories coming out of Australia in recent years, Bluey has, as expected by many, won Best Children's Program. Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room' Hamish Blake has addressed the "elephant in the room", saying he actually "fears" winning the Gold Logie tonight. The two-time winner said it was pretty obvious the masses didn't want another "middle-aged white guy" winning the top award, saying he felt like the drunk uncle in the room. It's the first time ever six women are nominated for the award, with Blake the only man. First Logie goes to... And we have our first winner. Seven's The Voice has won the Best Entertainment Program. Sam Pang embraces controversy in opening speech Sam Pang has started once again in brutal fashion and it appears he's even managed to reference recently convicted killer Erin Patterson, prompting gasps from the audience. Offering a suggestion for MAFS' future, he said he thought producers should "cast the mushroom lady as the caterer". And looking for Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow, he took a swipe at diversity in the industry. "You should be easy to find in this room," he quipped. Logies kicks off with Jimmy Barnes Jimmy Barnes has just given his all belting out Working Class Man, marking the start of the Logies. And he was the inspiration for host Sam Pang's first joke, who said he can't think of song that better represents the guests in front of him. Strap in, we're about to kick off. Why Sunrise host Nat Barr never goes to the Logies after party Despite it being the night of nights for Australian television, some of the most well-known faces on our screens can't truly let their hair down. Sunrise host Nat Barr told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she doesn't ever attend the after party because instead, she desperately tries to get some sleep for the next morning. If she's lucky, she gets one hour. "So we get out of here at roughly midnight, we get home at maybe 12:30, we get into bed at maybe 1, [and] we get up at 2:30," she explained. "So that hour and a half is the maximum possible time that we can sleep. It's about an hour sleep if we're lucky. "But it's only one night of the year, so who's complaining. We get to frock up and have a great night. Bacon and egg rolls, couple of coffees, and we're off and racing!" Yikes. Talk about dedication. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Natalie Barr (@natalie_barr7) Ricki-Lee addresses brutal snub She's nominated for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter tonight, but Ricki-Lee was recently snubbed from Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs. She laughed off the slight while chatting with Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet and admitted she had 'a lot of gays reaching out [who were] very, very upset'. As for how she feels about being a Logie nominee, the Australian Idol host admitted it's 'an incredible honour'. 'I just think it's so nice to get recognition from the industry,' she said. 'We put so much work into this show, and I work really, really hard. I'm generally the first one to arrive on set and the last one to leave, so it's just nice to get that recognition and that nod from the industry to say, 'Hey, you've done a great job. We see you, good on you'.' How nominees find out they're up for a Logie What viewers at home might not realise is that, besides the Gold Logie nominees who are told in advance, stars don't find out they've been nominated for a Logie until the announcement is made to the public. Heartbreak High actress Chloé Hayden told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she didn't know she was up for Best Supporting Actress until she opened Instagram. 'You find out the same time that everyone else finds out!' she shared. 'Which is kind of fun. I'm like, this is nice. It's very wholesome, like we're all in this together.' Logies guests interview each other It's something we tried last year and it was so good we've done it again. We've asked tonight's guests to pass a question on to the next star interviewed, and you can see it for yourself below. How 'little trophy' changed Grant Denyer's life Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet. He spoke with Grant Denyer earlier, and he revealed how life-changing winning a Gold Logie was for him. 'You know what it did for me? I spent my entire life feeling inferior, like I'm not worthy, like I'm unlovable, like I don't deserve this," he said. "And then weirdly, it was like this incredible experience where I was kind of like, hey man, you are enough. "And then I just calmed the hell down and settled and was the happiest I've ever been. Who would've thought a little trophy would do that? How magical! It psychologically changed me into a new person, weird.' Denyer won the 2018 Gold Logie for his work hosting Family Feud. He was previously nominated in 2016 and 2017. Remarkable story behind Alone star's dress Let's just take a moment to appreciate Corinne Ooms' dress. Ooms, who was the last woman standing on SBS's survival show Alone, has reused plenty of her mementos from the show to create her outfit. The dress is made from the tarp she slept under for 70 days, while her bag is made from wallaby hide from the exact wallaby she famously caught on the show. The dress took more than 20 hours to make. More of the best red carpet looks OK, we've had a fair few people pass along the red carpet, so let's bring you some more photos now. Let's take a closer look at Lynne McGranger, who has fittingly worn a gold dress as the favourite to take the night's biggest award. Fellow nominee for the Gold Logie Lisa Millar has dazzled in purple (our favourite colour), while Sonia Kruger looks stunning as ever in her tight-fitting number. And there was plenty of shimmer from sports presenter Jelena Dokic. Colourful Costa strikes again Gardening icon Costa Georgiadis is known for bringing a bit of colour to the red carpet and this year is no different. He's once again styled his outfit with an array of flowers, this time throughout his hair. Georgiadis has previously spoken about his choice to wear thrifted clothing on awards nights to promote sustainability. Home and Away stars one year on after launching relationship The 2024 Logies was their first red carpet outing as a couple as they launched their relationship. And 12 months on, Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart look as in love as they did this time last year. The man who doesn't want your vote arrives Here he is. The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake. And while he could make it a hat-trick of Gold Logie wins tonight, he's joked he doesn't want you to vote for him. " Hi Hamish Blake here, and as you know I'm the only guy in the running and therefore it would not be a great look if I won," he told fans in a message shared to Nine shortly after the nominations were revealed. "So just organise, figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her." It's the first time women have outweighed male nominees in the top award since 2011. Blake, who is also up for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, previously won the Gold Logie in 2012 and drag on again Well you think they would have learnt their lesson, wouldn't you? After 2024's show stretched out to midnight, it seems this year's Logies is going the same way, judging by how quickly the show is ticking over. And viewers are less than impressed, taking to X to let their thoughts known. Take a look for yourself below.

And viewers are less than impressed, taking to X to let their thoughts known. Take a look for yourself below. Going to be a darn long night if every presenter does a comedy routine before presenting an award.#tvweeklogies#logies#logies2025 — Nez (@fraggle73) August 3, 2025 At this rate the Logies should finish by Boxing Day. #Logies2025 — martydownunder4 (@martydownunder4) August 3, 2025 #logies #logies2025 #tvweeklogies 7 of 23 awards done.

Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room' Hamish Blake has addressed the "elephant in the room", saying he actually "fears" winning the Gold Logie tonight.

Sam Pang embraces controversy in opening speech Sam Pang has started once again in brutal fashion and it appears he's even managed to reference recently convicted killer Erin Patterson, prompting gasps from the audience. Offering a suggestion for MAFS' future, he said he thought producers should "cast the mushroom lady as the caterer". And looking for Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow, he took a swipe at diversity in the industry. "You should be easy to find in this room," he quipped.

Why Sunrise host Nat Barr never goes to the Logies after party Despite it being the night of nights for Australian television, some of the most well-known faces on our screens can't truly let their hair down. Sunrise host Nat Barr told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she doesn't ever attend the after party because instead, she desperately tries to get some sleep for the next morning. If she's lucky, she gets one hour. "So we get out of here at roughly midnight, we get home at maybe 12:30, we get into bed at maybe 1, [and] we get up at 2:30," she explained. "So that hour and a half is the maximum possible time that we can sleep. It's about an hour sleep if we're lucky. "But it's only one night of the year, so who's complaining. We get to frock up and have a great night. Bacon and egg rolls, couple of coffees, and we're off and racing!" Yikes. Talk about dedication.

She laughed off the slight while chatting with Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet and admitted she had 'a lot of gays reaching out [who were] very, very upset'. As for how she feels about being a Logie nominee, the Australian Idol host admitted it's 'an incredible honour'. 'I just think it's so nice to get recognition from the industry,' she said. 'We put so much work into this show, and I work really, really hard. I'm generally the first one to arrive on set and the last one to leave, so it's just nice to get that recognition and that nod from the industry to say, 'Hey, you've done a great job.

How nominees find out they're up for a Logie What viewers at home might not realise is that, besides the Gold Logie nominees who are told in advance, stars don't find out they've been nominated for a Logie until the announcement is made to the public. Heartbreak High actress Chloé Hayden told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she didn't know she was up for Best Supporting Actress until she opened Instagram. 'You find out the same time that everyone else finds out!' she shared. 'Which is kind of fun. I'm like, this is nice. It's very wholesome, like we're all in this together.'

How 'little trophy' changed Grant Denyer's life Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet. He spoke with Grant Denyer earlier, and he revealed how life-changing winning a Gold Logie was for him. 'You know what it did for me? I spent my entire life feeling inferior, like I'm not worthy, like I'm unlovable, like I don't deserve this," he said. "And then weirdly, it was like this incredible experience where I was kind of like, hey man, you are enough. "And then I just calmed the hell down and settled and was the happiest I've ever been. Who would've thought a little trophy would do that? How magical! It psychologically changed me into a new person, weird.' Denyer won the 2018 Gold Logie for his work hosting Family Feud. He was previously nominated in 2016 and 2017. Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet.

Ooms, who was the last woman standing on SBS's survival show Alone, has reused plenty of her mementos from the show to create her outfit. The dress is made from the tarp she slept under for 70 days, while her bag is made from wallaby hide from the exact wallaby she famously caught on the show. The dress took more than 20 hours to make.

The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake. And while he could make it a hat-trick of Gold Logie wins tonight, he's joked he doesn't want you to vote for him. " Hi Hamish Blake here, and as you know I'm the only guy in the running and therefore it would not be a great look if I won," he told fans in a message shared to Nine shortly after the nominations were revealed. "So just organise, figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her." It's the first time women have outweighed male nominees in the top award since 2011.
