Little House on the Prairie debuted on NBC just over 40 years ago, in September 1974 – and the beloved series often seems as relevant as ever today.
The show is based on the book series of the same name written by Laura Ingalls-Wilder. Following the adventures of the Ingalls family in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, the series ran for nine seasons.
In addition to its main cast, Little house also launched the careers of Jason Batemanwho played James Cooper Ingalls, and reality TV star Kyle Richardswho played the role of Alicia Sanderson Edwards.
Unfortunately, not all of the original cast are with us yet. Michael Landonwho played the role of Charles “Pa” Ingalls, died of pancreatic cancer on July 1, 1991, at the age of 54. Richard Bullwho played Nels Olsen for all nine seasons of the series, died in 2014 at the age of 89, and Kevin Hagenwho played Dr. Hiram “Doc” Baker, died of esophageal cancer in 2004.
The surviving cast of the series still host events in the United States in honor of the series and its cultural impact. Here’s where the cast of Little House on the Prairie is now:
