The Ingalls family and their life on the farm in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota stole the hearts of many. Viewers were eagerly waiting for each new episode and each new adventure. “Little House on the Prairie” attracted millions of fans and many can’t help but wonder what some of their favorite actors from the show are up to nowadays.
The mom of the family, Caroline Ingalls, or as the children called her, Ma, was portrayed by Karen Grassle who was quickly dubbed America’s sweetheart. Even today, she is known as one of the most iconic American moms in TV history.
As she turned 80, Grassle still stuns with her beauty and acting, although she seemed to disappear from the screens for some time before she turned to her first love, Broadway.
Grassle studied at the University of California, but completed her acting education at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
“That was one of the most exciting learning experiences of my life: the school was superb and we could go to the theater in London and see the finest actors and productions in the English language,” Grassle said, referring to her college life in the U.K.
She recalls how she went to an audition for a role she was looking forwards to get, and when she was turned down, she tried her luck with “Little House on the Prairie” probably not assuming back then that this role would help her shot to fame.
The show premiered on September 11, 1974 and lasted until 1983, but Grassle left it the year before. Producers tried convincing her to continue portraying Ma’s role but she didn’t accept the offer so the show was eventually canceled.
After appearing on stage for many years in classics such as “Cabaret” and “Driving Miss Daisy,” Grassle set up her own theater company. Then in 1994, she stared along Kevin Costner in Wyatt Earp.
Three years ago, Grassle were both uncertain and happy to answer to a challenge and try something completely different from what she has been doing her whole life so she accepted a role in the horror movie Lasso.
“Finally, my son tells me, “Oh just do it, Mom. You’ll have fun! You’ll run screaming in the night!” So, I said, “Okay, I’ll do it.” It’s a total change for me,” she said.
I’m sure this stunning actress still has a lot to offer, despite her age. She looks completely stunning and still takes our breath away.

The 61-year-old actress wore a sequin-covered gown with black underwear and minimal makeup. For Dolce & Gabbana’s 40th anniversary party, Demi Moore chose a long, transparent black dress that was adorned with shiny decorations from top to bottom. The dress had a simple shape, full sleeves, and a modest neckline.
Moore looked radiant, with the dress’s sequins shimmering in the light. She wore this over basic black undergarments and added a pair of simple black heels with straps. Choosing to let her dress be the center of attention, Moore didn’t wear any jewelry. Her makeup was light and natural, highlighting her features with soft-pink lipstick and bold mascara.
Her appearance gained praise.
Her beautiful dark hair was the perfect complement to her outfit, worn straight and parted down the middle, falling gracefully to her waist. Fans poured in praise for Demi’s youthful, radiant look. “You look so amazing, and I love how you haven’t needed around with your face like lots of others,” commented one. “She looks unreal for her age. BRAVO,” added another.
Demi previously denied having surgery.
Demi Moore addressed the speculation about her undergoing plastic surgery. She clarified in an old interview, “I have had something done but it’s not on my face.” She left open the possibility of future procedures by adding, “Maybe one day I’ll go under the knife.” Moore expressed her frustration with the ongoing rumors, stating, “It just irritates me that people are constantly saying how much I’ve spent on plastic surgery.”
Before Moore’s appearance, Katy Perry also embraced the see-through fashion trend. Check out her photos here.
