Hersha Parady, an actress who appeared in hit TV series including Little House on The Prairie and The Waltons has died, aged 78.
Hersha appeared as schoolteacher Alice Garvey for three years in the 1970/80s American TV series and even popular 1990s kids' TV show Kenan & Kel, where she played Principal Dimly for three episodes. He had earlier said on her GoFundMe page: "Hersha, who has always been an active and outgoing woman, is battling a tough medical condition - a brain tumor known as meningioma. This illness has robbed her of her strength, her memory, and sadly, her vibrant personality. She has become largely bedridden, and it is very difficult to see my Mom, who was once full of life and energy, now struggling with basic daily activities.
But Hersha developed pneumonia while recovering and was forced to return to hospital, where she was placed in intensive care, remaining on a ventilator after losing consciousness.
