Katherine MacGregor's one and only TV role accounts for her modest claim to celebrity. This role was the conniving and hateful Harriet Oleson on the enormously popular 1974-1982 series "Little House on the Prairie."
Harriet was the gossipy, trouble-making wife of Nels Oleson, the much kinder owner of the local general store, Oleson's Mercantile, and mother of the dreadful child Nellie Oleson.
The actress who played Harriet, however, is by all accounts a clean-liver and a nice person. After the show's close, she gave up television for live theatre.
