Little House On The Prairie: Then & Now

Bonnie Bartlett as Grace Snyder Edwards

Bonnie Bartlett’s father had tried to break into the acting business in his younger days but became an insurance salesman when he failed to land his big acting break in Hollywood. Determined to live out her father’s dream, Bonnie began taking acting lessons after high school and slowly broke into television by appearing on soap operas. For years, she only accepted small roles so that she could focus on raising her children. Bonnie landed the recurring role of Grace Snyder Edwards on Little House on the Prairie in 1974, portraying the role until 1977 when she left the series.
