Biography
American actress known for her starring role as the mother Caroline Ingalls in the NBC television drama series Little House on the Prairie (1974-1982).
Grassle's memoir Bright Lights, Prairie Dust: Reflections on Life, Loss, and Love by House's Ma was published on 16 November 2021 by She Writes Press. At the date of publication, Grassle resided in the San Francisco Bay Area with her son Zach Radford.
The book detailed her struggles with alcoholism, as well as the troubled relationship she had with her former co-star, Michael Landon. Grassle accused Landon of making derogatory remarks about her while on the set of Little House, often with other members of the cast and crew present, laughing at the comments. Grassle also claimed that her relationship with Landon became strained after she sought a raise, which he refused to give her.
Grassle subsequently "mended fences" with Landon prior to his death in 1991 from pancreatic cancer.
