Little House on the Prairie debuted on NBC just over 40 years ago in September 1974 — and the beloved series often feels as relevant as ever today.
The show is based on the series of books of the same name penned 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 Bateman, who played James Cooper Ingalls, and reality star Kyle Richards, who starred as Alicia Sanderson Edwards.
Unfortunately, not all of the original cast is still with us. Michael Landon, who starred as Charles “Pa” Ingalls, died of pancreatic cancer on July 1, 1991, at the age of 54. Richard Bull, who played Nels Olsen for all nine seasons of the show, died in 2014 at the age of 89, and Kevin Hagen, who played Dr. Hiram “Doc” Baker, died of esophageal cancer in 2004.
The surviving cast of the series still hosts events around the United States in honor of the show and its cultural impact. Here’s where the cast of Little House on the Prairie is now:
