- BTW - I didn't realize that MSA was about 12 years old when she began on LHOTP. I just read the info at imdb.com. I always thought she was about 9 or 10 years old, but that was about the age for Melissa Gilbert. Interesting. :think:
They both look and sounded like little bitty girls. I don't mean mentally immature...just seemed like younger girls.
Yeah, I looked older than that when I was 12. lol | |

| Hello everyone,
If you look closely at the student you are referring to in Whisper Country, you may realize she's more familiar than you thought! That's because the actress who played the shy student (her character's name was Sarah Miller) went on to play Susan Goodspeed, one of Mary's blind students in Winoka, Walnut Grove and Sleepy Eye.
The actress playing both roles was Michelle Downey.
I don't believe she is related to MSA. | |

Well, I don't think I looked older than 12 at 12, but I was sure taller than the average 12 year old girl. Hee hee! | |

| Michael did that a lot with kids and adult guest stars. Adam Gunn who played Harold Watson in "I Remember, I Remember" was also Standish's son in "As Long as Were Together".
Katy Kurtzman who played Young Carolyn in "I Remember, I Remember" also played Anna Gilberg, the stuttering girl in "The Music Box".

Great episode. Yes...I even believed Susan was Mary on a photo published in a book about Little House...They were almost look-a-likes, or at least VERY similar. Vanesa. | |
