From The Music Box to I Remember, I Remember with Katy Kurtzman

Some actors make an impression. Katy Kurtzman made two—and both are unforgettable. Little House fans first fell in love with her as Anna Gillberg in the beloved Season 3 episode "The Music Box," where she delivered one of the most heartfelt performances in the series as a shy young girl with a stutter who finds an unlikely friend in Laura Ingalls (and unfortunately crosses paths with one very smug Nellie Oleson and one very stolen music box). She later returned as young Caroline Quiner in "I Remember, I Remember," giving us a sweet glimpse into the early romance of Charles and Caroline. Beyond Walnut Grove, Katy built an impressive career with starring roles in television movies, hit series, and earned three Young Artist Award nominations before expanding into writing, directing, producing, and coaching the next generation of performers.In this episode, we have the absolute joy of talking with the incredible Katy Kurtzman—and wow, what a guest. She's funny, dynamic, honest, refreshingly open, and shares stories with the same heart she brought to every performance. From working with Michael Landon to growing up in Hollywood and building a career behind the camera, nothing is off limits. Whether you've loved Katy since Anna found her voice or you're just discovering what an amazing human she is, this conversation will leave you smiling. (Don't worry—we promise no music boxes were stolen during the recording.)Then join us on Patreon, where Katy shares even more Little House memories, her candid thoughts on being a child actor, and even pulls out some incredible memorabilia she saved from her time on the show.
