Former Twin Actresses
Former twin actresses, Wendy Lou and Brenda Lee Thernbow are best known for their roles as Grace Ingalls in the popular TV series "Little House on the Prairie". The twins were cast as the twin sisters thanks to their grandparents' friendship with Susan McCray, the casting director, and Kent McCray, the show's producer. Wendy and Brenda appeared on the show from the 5th to the 8th season, with an unknown infant playing the role of Grace in the 4th season. Initially, the sisters were not credited, but they were featured in a special Thanksgiving episode in 1979 and were officially credited in 1981.
Life After "Little House on the Prairie"
Even though the show ended 20 years ago, Wendy and Brenda continue to share their experiences about the show and their character. They regularly attend reunions with other former cast members, actively engage with fans, and sign autographs and take photos. After the series concluded in 1982, the sisters tried to pursue acting careers. They landed roles in a commercial and went through several auditions. However, they eventually realized that they wouldn't be able to match the success of Grace Ingalls and decided to change their career paths.
