KAREN GRASSLE | 78

Karen Grassle was born in Berkeley, California, and got her degree in Dramatic Art and English at the University of California in the mid-1960s. She then received a scholarship in London to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Karen Grassle debuted on Broadway in the 1968 theater play The Gingham Dog. This had been Karen¡¯s stepping stone to enter the movie and television world, giving her a colorful acting career.

However, the 78-year-old star only shot to prominence when she played the role of a mother, named Caroline Ingalls, in the hit television series Little House on the Prairie. They say you can¡¯t have it all, and this rings true for Karen as well. After getting married three times, she needed the help of her divorce lawyer as many times. Despite her age, it seems she has no plans to retire yet as she is still enjoying her life in the industry.
