The actor who played the wholesome schoolteacher, Miss Eva Beadle, on Little House on the Prairie, was good friends with Jim Morrison. Charlotte Stewart, now 84, revealed in a new interview that before she got famous, she used to party with The Doors frontman. “We would go out for drinks,” she told Fox News Digital. “He was quite a drinker, and often he needed to be driven home. So I would take him to my house because he trusted me.” The two became friends because Stewart, who was a self-described hippie at the time, had a clothing store across the street from the band’s label, Elektra Records. Stewart told Fox she never wanted a “romance” with Morrison—she just wanted to be his friend, though she described it as “a friend with benefits.” The pair took a four-day road trip in 1969 after an arrest warrant was issued for Morrison in connection with a Miami concert he performed. It was the last time they saw one another; Morrison died in 1971 in Paris, when he was 27 and Stewart was 33. Two years later, Stewart successfully auditioned for Little House on the Prairie.
