Who Played Kezia Horn on Little House on the Prairie?

Many people who have watched the three episodes with Kezia Horn in it have commented on how familiar the actress seemed.  Kezia was portrayed by actress Hermione Baddeley, who many will recognize from her famous role on Mary Poppins.  In the original Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, she portrayed Ellen, one of the servants to the Banks family.  She is the one who yells out the window to a bird “Quiet! You’re giving the master a headache!” and tells the dog outside that the position has been filled when all the other nanny applicants have already disappeared.

She also appeared on the television shows Maude and The Good Life and also did voice work including the Disney movie The Aristocats where she voiced Madame.

She was also nominated for an Oscar for her role in A Room at the Top in 1959.
