Roylance, 73, played the role of Sarah Carter on the iconic show, which was based on the beloved book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. But in a revealing new interview on the March 24 episode of The Patrick LaboyorSheaux, hosted byformer Little House star Patrick Labyorteaux, Roylance explained that she was told she needed to slim down to score the role of Carter.
“I'm a bit overweight. I'm eating the chocolates a lot,” she said, explaining that she was about six pounds overweight, PEOPLE reported. “And my frame is athletic, and it's square. You know, I'm not voluptuous, which is why I didn't last on Days of Our Lives, which I would get after Little House. I just didn't have that perfect figure. I was a little kind of straight up and down squareish.”

What Was Starring on Little House Like?
For the other stars on Little House, the show's popularity was insane. Star Matthew Labyorteaux was such a hot ticket during the heyday of Walnut Grove that he was followed around in public.
Last year, Matthew’s older brother, Patrick, recalled a day spent on the Paramount Ranch with his little bro and friend Al Eisenmann at a renaissance faire, Entertainment Weekly reports.
“We see girls around the corners of the Kissing Bridge, kinda checking us out,” Patrick recalled in his podcast. “[But] nothing is happening, and I see my brother with his turkey leg. That’s not sexy, girls don’t like guys eating turkey legs.”
While Patrick would have loved the idea of being swarmed by girls, Matthew wasn’t old enough to find it interesting.
