Kathleen Coleman (born February 18, 1962) is an American former child actor, singer, and author, known for playing Holly Marshall on the 1970s children's TV show Land of the Lost.
In 1974, she was cast by Sid and Marty Kroft to play Holly Marshall, the younger of two siblings trapped with their father in a strange land in Land of the Lost. It was her only major television role, which continued for three seasons. She contributed interviews and commentary tracks for the Land of the Lost DVDs produced by Rhino in 2004. She and fellow Land of the Lost cast member Wesley Eure filmed cameos for the 2009 film parodying the series, but those scenes were not included in the theatrical release.[3]
She appeared in an episode of the police drama Adam-12 in 1975.
Personal life
In 1980, at the age of 18, Coleman married and moved to Fallon, Nevada, where she and her husband worked on her father-in-law's dairy farm. The couple had two sons before divorcing in 1987.[4]
Coleman later remarried and currently resides in Palm Springs, but frequently travels the country appearing at conventions.[5][6] In 2015, she published Lost Girl: The Truth and Nothing But the Truth, So Help Me Kathleen, which describes her marriages as well as her experiences in music, TV, and on the autograph circuit.[7] In 2017, she published a second memoir, entitled Run Holly Run, which highlighted her time working on Land of the Lost.[8]
