Hersha Parady, who starred as schoolteacher Alice Garvey on the hit show Little House on the Prairie, has died at age 78, according to a statement from her son to The Hollywood Reporter. Jonathan Peverall said he had set up a GoFundMe to help pay medical bills for his mother as her health declined from a brain tumor known as meningioma. Parady found fame in the 1970s when she joined Little House on the Prairie during the third season as Eliza Ingalls, the sister-in-law of Landon’s Charles Ingalls, before returning in Season 4 as regular character, Alice Garvey. Her other TV credits include Mannix, Unsolved Mysteries and Second Noah.
