Back in the day, before Charlotte Stewart ever became a household name with her breakout role on Little House on the Prairie, the ’70s sweetheart ran a little boutique in Los Angeles, Calif., smack dab in the middle of a budding rock n’ roll scene.
Her shop, called Liquid Butterfly, was across the way from Elektra Records, and one day, the lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison, took refuge within, sparking an unexpected acquaintanceship between the troubled rocker and the soon-to-be beloved actress.
One morning, Stewart arrived to work to find the “Riders on the Storm” singer gazing out of her window, looking out at the record label, she recently told her former costar, Patrick Labyorteaux, on an episode of his podcast The Patrick LabyorSheaux. “Do you mind if I’m here?” Morrison asked her, kicking off a whirlwind friendship that Labyorteaux describes “very close and fun.”
She and Morrison began going out with a handful of other unnamed folks, “walk[ing] down the street on La Cienega Blvd. [to] go out to lunch, have some drinks.” Then, it morphed into Morrison “basically [becoming her] drinking buddy, because he didn’t want to drink alone.”
“He would come into the store at five, six o’clock and say, ‘You want to go?’” she continued. “And I said, ‘Okay.’ So we would go. Then he would get so drunk that I would have to drive him home,” Stewart recalled. “I didn’t want anything from him; he was my drinking buddy,” she emphasized. “So I took care of him.”
Morrison reportedly struggled with drug use, and had several run-ins with the law throughout his short career, becoming the first rocker to be arrested mid-performance, and racking up charges for lewd behavior, indecent exposure, profanity and drunkenness throughout his career, with Stewart helping him evade police once upon a time.
In a similar vein, The Doors were even banned from perfoming on one live TV show in 1967.
Eventually, two years before his death, the unlikely friends hit the road together for a “spicy adventure,” which is further detailed in her 2016 memoir memoir, Little House in the Hollywood Hills: A Bad Girl’s Guide to Becoming Miss Beadle, Mary X, and Me.
Morrison asked Stewart to get out of town with him when he needed a break, and they drove up the California coast together for four days, where he flew under the radar and enjoyed a little anonymity and peace before dropping her safely off at the store. It was the last time she saw him before he sadly died under uncertain circumstances at the age of 27.
Three years after his death, she went on to play the kindhearted schoolteacher, Eva Beadle-Simms, on the hit TV series Little House on the Prairie.
