A dedicated student, Lucy often appeared in school plays with lead roles. With an interest in arts, she went on to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree, obtained from Northwestern University, in 1965.
After graduating, Lucy began practicing ice skating, going on to tour around the U.S.A. for a year with the song 'Holiday on Ice'. Once the tour was over, she began practicing acting under Uta Hagen, a well-known American-German actress.
For such a well-known actress, Lucy has been quite secretive about her personal love life. Not much is known about her romantic past. However, it is widely accepted that she was married to Tom Tarpey, a fellow actor based in New York City.
The two met on the set of a movie they were to be cast for in 1972 and married three years later in a small, private ceremony on October 25, 1975.
In 1978, Lucy gave birth to her son Christopher. Tom and Lucy divorced several years after for unknown reasons. As of 2022, Lucy is single.
With such an extensive career, Lucy is best known for the lead role in the American historical TV series, 'Little House on the Prairie', by Eliza Jane Wilder. This show was based on a book of the same name.
She launched her career in 1971 when she appeared in the movie 'The Telephone Book'. After a five-year break, she played a nurse on the show 'The Front'.
