Helen Hunt
While Helen Hunt doesn’t have one single famous character attached to her, she started studying acting at eight years old with her father, director, and acting coach Gordon Hunt. She debuted at nine and has appeared in “Amy Prentiss,” “The Bionic Woman,” “Swiss Family Robinson,” “The Facts of Life,” and “The Fitzpatricks.”
She’s won four Emmy Awards, a Blockbuster Award, four American Comedy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild awards, and an Oscar (Best Actress in “As Good as it Gets”). She’s not going anywhere soon and is likely to continue her career for years to come.
Alison "Nellie" Arngrim
Alison Arngrim from "Little House on the Prairie" doesn't have many good memories from her time on the show. Arngrim played the mean girl of the show, Nellie Olson. The character has been ranked as one of the most hated characters in television history, and Arngrim has described playing her “like having PMS for seven years.”
She's had a number of guest spots on several television shows. She's also authored a few books and has even written and performed a stage performance based on one of them, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch".
Ricky Schroder
Ricky Shroder first made waves alongside Jon Voight in the 1979 film "The Champ." He later appeared in the show "Silver Spoons," and his fame continued rising from there. Ricky has continued acting, mostly in television, such as in the show NYPD Blue.
Schroder met a girl named Andrea Bernard and converted to Mormonism for her prior to their marriage. Andrea later revealed that she had a dream bag, in which she had written that she hopes to marry Ricky one day, long before they ever met. The two had three children, but in 2016 they filed for divorce after twenty-four years of marriage.
Kim Richards
Kim Richards appeared in a huge number of television shows throughout the seventies and is most notable as a child star for her role in "Race to Witch Mountain." She's had a number of notable roles as an adult, including as Christina Ricci's mother in the film "Black Snake Moan."
In 2010, she began appearing on the reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," which became an immediate hit. Richards has had a number of run-ins with the law due to alcohol abuse but attended rehab and has remained clean and sober for years. You go, girl.
Kim Richards and Sister Kyle
Kim isn't the only Richards daughter who has gained fame. Her sister Kyle Richards was also an actress at a young age, though her star never rose as far as Kim's. Kyle has joined Kim a number of times on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." But, there's one more sister: Kathy Hilton. Does that last name sound familiar?
That's right, Kim and Kyle are Paris Hilton's aunts. The reality show has struggled due to Kim's battle with alcoholism, with some even accusing Kyle of being an enabler, a title she has fought against, stating she just wants what's best for her sister.
