Not everything was better before, but when it comes to music, movies, and TV series, it was secretly great.
With amazing actors and captivating stories, shows like “The Cartwright Brothers” and “How the West was Won” had a unique charm that made them unforgettable.
Even though years have passed since these series ended, they remain as beloved as ever.
Kathryn Holcomb landed the significant role of Laura Macahan, and let’s explore what the star of the cherished TV show is doing today.
Three seasons and 25 episodes were all it took for “How the West was Won” to become a classic.
Back in the 70s, “How the West was Won” was a cult favorite, and despite ending many years ago, it still holds up today.
However, in 1979, the series concluded, and the stars had to bid farewell to their beloved characters.
For some, this marked the continuation of their acting careers, while for others, it meant the end.
The Destiny of the Stars
When Kathryn Holcomb snagged the role of Laura Macahan, Luke’s sister, it was a breakthrough moment for her.
At just 25 years old, little did she know that it would also be her final acting role.
Although she had a couple of small film roles and guest appearances in TV series during the 80s, Kathryn Holcomb’s acting career never fully took off.
Despite her career slowing down, the series had left Kathryn with a significant positive impact.
Let’s take a look at how the stars of the Macahan family appear 42 years later.
A Love Story On Set
It was on the set of the series that she found her true love.
Holcomb tied the knot with Bruce Boxleitner, who portrayed her on-screen brother Luke. They wed in 1977 and have two children together, Sam and Lee.
Unfortunately, their love story came to an end as they parted ways in 1987.
Embracing Retirement
Since 1992, she has been married to actor Ian Ogilvy, known for “Death Becomes Her”.
Today, Kathryn Holcomb lives a life away from the limelight, cherishing her role as Laura Macahan as her most significant achievement.
