- Among the many men she admitted having hook-ups with were Jon Voight, Bill Murray, Victor French ("Mr. Edwards" in the series), Ralph Waite, Mike Connors, Chad Everett and Jim Morrison.
- Penned a tell-all autobiography where she admits being a wild party girl, becoming addicted to both drugs and alcohol after Little House on the Prairie ended and becoming homeless, soon after she left the series.
- Has admitted she considers Little House on the Prairie the most corny show ever made at that time.
- Has a stepson named Jason, and a step-grandchild named Brittni
- Gosh, I remember when we were shooting the show, there was nothing cornier in Hollywood. It was all about 'Maude' and 'Laverne & Shirley.' But where are those shows today? We're still on the air.
- The 70s were an exploratory time with the women's movement, the free love, and there was lots of marijuana and drugs; I was in my early 20s and an actress in a town where there were many nice looking men available. They were interested. I had a wonderful time, and I have no regrets.
