Katherine MacGregor's death still came as a shock to many fans. The Hollywood star had appeared in the popular series Little House on the Prairie from 1974 on. She took the role of "Harriet Olson," who was known for spreading gossip in Walnut Grove.
"Harriet Olson" was initially written as a supporting character. But she soon became a crowd-pleaser and ended up appearing in almost every episode of the series. She was, however, absent in the finale episode, and we recently explored why that was the case.
