Rachel Lindsay Rene Bush and Sidney Robyn Danae Bush, born May 25, 1970, in Hollywood, California, are American former child actresses, best known for their combined (alternating) role as Carrie Ingalls, in the drama series Little House on the Prairie. They are identical twin sisters, born to actor Billy Green Bush and Carole Kay Bush. Their older brother, Clay, is also an actor.
Careers
The twins played Jill Hayden in the 1973 made-for-television
drama Sunshine.
From 1974 through 1982, they alternated the role of Carrie
Ingalls in the television series Little House on the Prairie, although they were
credited as Lindsay Sidney Greenbush,
with the implication that a single actor played the role. In the episode "The Godsister", first
broadcast on December 18, 1978, both twins appear together when Carrie creates
a make-believe friend because her family is too busy to spend time with her.
The twins did not appear in the final season of the series as the plot line had
Carrie's family (except sister Laura and her husband Almanzo)
move away from Walnut Grove, Minnesota, the series' location.
Post-Little House
In 1983, Lindsay guest-starred in a Matt Houston episode as
an abuse victim. Sidney starred in the film Hambone and Hillie in 1983. The
twins starred in commercials for, among others, Doublemint gum, Mattel Toys,
and Kentucky Fried Chicken. The twins decided to retire from acting and
continue their studies at public school. They graduated from Santa Monica High
in 1988.
Personal lives
Sidney was married to horse breeder William "Rocky" Foster for nine years,
until his death at age 55 in 2009.
Lindsay has been married to Daniel Sanchez since 2014. They
originally met on the Little House set at Big Sky Ranch in Simi Valley (where
exterior scenes were filmed) when she was a small child and he was a teenager
who lived nearby. She has said Michael Landon allowed him to watch the filming
at Big Sky Ranch. Decades later, they met again and married in the same spot
where they first met.
