Was Jennifer Garner on Little House on the Prairie?

Jennifer Garner did not have a role in Little House on the Prairie, although for a while many suspected she played a main – but uncredited – role.

The confusion around whether or not she had a role on Little House on the Prairie is that some have wondered whether she played the uncredited Rose Wilder, as Laura and Almanzo’s daughter, as the role at the time was uncredited despite the fact Rose appeared in many episodes of the show, and in the final two hour specials that ended the series.  However, the role of Rose has since been credited as being played by twins Jennifer and Michelle Steffin.

Jennifer Garner did not begin acting until much later, with her first role in the TV movie Zoya in 1995.
