Michael Learned - Olivia (The Waltons)

Michael Learned was born on April 9, 1939. She is an American actress, known for her role as Olivia Walton in the long-running CBS drama series The Waltons (1972–1981). She has won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series four times, which is tied for the record of most wins with Tyne Daly. Three of the wins were for The Waltons (1973, 1974, 1976), while the other was for Nurse (1982).[1]  She additional was a part of the Waltons Reunion movies as well, in the early 80s and the other additional reunion films in the 1990s with the Waltons cast when she respired her role as Olivia. I had the opportunity to talk with Michael about her time on "The Waltons" and she shares some stories about her time being not only on the show but how she got started in show business.
