- 'Little House on the Prairie' is a cult classic
- Alison Arngrim left the show early
- Contracts and dissatisfaction played a part
To 'yahoo', Alison Arngrim revealed that her exit was related to her contract and she was eager to try something different.
"When I started the show in 1974, like a bunch of people at the time, I signed a 7-year contract," Alison Arngrim explains. After the end of the term, the actress refused to renew.
After 7 seasons, it was time to leave
The former child star shared other reasons for leaving the cult show.
"I was 19 years old and had been there since I was twelve. So I said, wow, I was kind of hoping to have a life and do other things. To do theatre. To do stand-up because you're kind of locked in. And the schedule was so weird, there were hardly any long breaks where we could go and do a TV movie or something on the side," Arngrim says.
