Richards was born in Mineola, New York to Kenneth Richards and the late Kathleen Fenton Richards. She has two older sisters, Kim and Kathy, both of whom are actresses. Socialites Nicky and Paris Hilton are her nieces, daughters of her sister, Kathy.

Richards began acting in 1975, playing Alicia Sanderson Edwards on the television series Little House on the Prairie; throughout the 1970s, she appeared in several television series and in horror films: The Car, Eaten Alive and Halloween, where she played Lindsey Wallace (the character that the heroine of the film, Jamie Lee Curtis, is babysitting). In 1980, she appeared opposite Bette Davis and Lynn-Holly Johnson in the Disney children's horror film, The Watcher in the Woods, playing a terrorized young girl. Although she made a cameo appearance in Halloween II, most of her 1980s roles were minor, and included made-for-television or video work.
