Lani O'Grady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lanita Rose Agrati (born October 2, 1954 in Walnut Creek, California - died September 25, 2001 in Valencia, California), who performed as Lani O'Grady, was an American actor, and the sister of actor/musician Don Grady.
Her best-remembered role was as Mary Bradford, the eldest sister from Eight is Enough, and she reprised the character in both its television movie reunions. She also played guest roles on Harry O, The Love Boat and other shows. Her last acting role was as Mrs. Kramer in Days of Our Lives, and one of her final television appearances was as a guest on The Jim J. & Tammy Faye Show.
Agrati retired from acting to become a talent agent, as her mother Mary Grady had been. She suffered from panic attacks dating back to the 1970s, and had long been misdiagnosed by doctors, leading to a history of prescription medicine and drug abuse.
Agrati died at home in 2001, of a drug overdose; an autopsy revealed toxic levels of Vicodin and Prozac in her bloodstream.
