On the latest episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, we had the privilege of hosting Wendi Lou Lee, a name many will recognize from the iconic television series Little House on the Prairie. Along with her twin sister, Wendi played the beloved role of Baby Grace, forever embedding her into the hearts of fans around the world. But beyond her time on the screen, Wendi’s story is one of faith, resilience, and discovery.
Memories from Little House on the Prairie
During our conversation, Wendi shared heartwarming memories of her time on set, reflecting on the extraordinary experience of working with television legends like Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert. Michael Landon, who played the iconic role of Charles Ingalls, left a lasting impression on Wendi with his kind and fatherly presence. She spoke fondly of how welcoming the cast and crew were to her and her sister, helping create a nurturing environment for young actors.
One particularly special memory Wendi cherishes is sharing a scene with Ray Bolger, the actor who portrayed the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. The crossover of these two legendary shows created a full-circle moment for Wendi, who was honored to work with someone of Bolger’s stature. “I was too young to fully appreciate it at the time,” Wendi explained, “but looking back, it’s an experience I treasure.”
Wendi’s Faith Journey
While Little House on the Prairie will always be a significant part of Wendi’s story, our conversation delved into something even more personal: her faith journey. After stepping away from acting, Wendi found herself on a path toward a deeper relationship with Christ. Through life’s challenges and victories, she has come to understand the power of surrendering to God’s will.
Wendi openly shared how her faith grew stronger in times of uncertainty, including when she faced significant health challenges. She credits her relationship with Jesus as the anchor that has kept her grounded and hopeful, no matter what life throws her way. This journey has led her to become a speaker and author, where she shares her story to inspire others to seek hope in Christ.
In our discussion, we reflected on how her time on Little House on the Prairie—a show known for its wholesome values and faith-based themes—helped plant the seeds for her personal spiritual growth. Wendi’s story is a reminder of how God can use even the smallest roles to make a lasting impact.
