The cast of the Waltons recently celebrated their 40th anniversary of the hit
series that ran for a decade, making Michael the quintessential TV Mom, as
Olivia Walton, beating Shirley Partridge by 6 years, Carol Brady by 4 years and
even Caroline Ingles by 1 year. Audiences could and still can relate to
families living in the depression era. Though times were tough, much like today,
Love and Sharing are abundant in this family. As a result of the show, which
she had been told wouldnt survive its first season, Michael Learned has gone on
to become a four-time Emmy award-winning actress (three for "The Waltons" and one
for "Nurse"). She has received a People's Choice Award and has been a three-time
Golden Globe nominee. On stage, she starred in "Steel Magnolias" at the La
Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, in the national tour of "On Golden Pond"
and in Lewis Black's "One Slight Hitch." Other theatre credits include "Elizabeth
the Queen" at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Edward Albee's "All Over" at the
Gramercy and McCarter Theatres. She starred in the West Coast premieres of "Woman
in Mind" and "Hapgood," both for the American Conservatory Theatre Co, for whom she
was the leading lady for three years. Her Broadway appearances include Gore
Vidal's "The Best Man" and Wendy Wasserstein's "The Sisters Rosenweig" and recently
completed a Broadway production of "The Out Going Tide." Michael recently
completed production of "The Outgoing Tide" in New York and a tour with "Driving
Miss Dazy.” A detailed bio is available below. Official
