Michael Learned Biography

Michael Learned is best known for her role as Olivia Walton on The Waltons which she played from 1972 to 1979. She was billed as Miss Michael Learned because she was relatively unknown at the time and producers did not want confusion among viewers about her gender. In 1979 her contract was not renewed on The Waltons and her disappearance was explained by her Olivia Walton developing TB and having an extended stay in a sanitarium. To facilitate this realistically she did make occasional guest appearances in the programme right up to it was cancelled. After she left The Waltons she starred as nurse Mary Benjamin in the hospital drama Nurse which ran on NBC during the 1981-82 season. She also had a starring role in the 1989 sitcom Living Dolls and reprised her Waltons role for a number of TV movies/reunions in the 1990s. She played Judge Helen Turner on the ABC soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live during the baby switch storyline currently playing out on both shows.
