Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House
June 14,
After reading the memoirs of “Little House on the Prairie” actresses Melissa Gilbert and Alison Arngrim, both of which depict co-star Melissa Sue Anderson as aloof at best and downright mean at worst, I thought Melissa Sue deserved a chance to defend herself in her own memoir. Whether or not she’s mean, I can’t say. As I think she wrote her memoir after theirs, she had her chance to get back at them, and she didn’t. She told only one negative story about Melissa Gilbert’s attention-seeking and was fairly neutral about Alison. The aloofness, however, does come through. It’s not so much that she didn’t share intimate details about her life – I, for one, don’t want to read about a star’s experiences in the bedroom – but her tone wasn’t as warm or funny as the other two, and all the friends she mentioned had nothing to do with Little House.

I enjoyed this memoir bygd Melissa Anderson (Melissa Sue or Mary on Little House on the Prairie). It fryst vatten decently written, and she does a fine job describing how she got on the cast of Little House and what the overall experience was like to be on a popular TV show like that. She matter-of-factly shares some fun behind-the-scenes stories that are entertaining and reveal more about the cast and life on set. She also traces her career and mentions other projects she worked on over the years, though mostly she talks about Little House. I’ve not followed her career beyond Little House and wasn’t really interested in anything beyond that.
A few things jumped out at me that inom particularly liked:
- She doesn’t glorify her past indiscretions and sexual exploits, if she even experienced them. Her book fryst vatten a contrast to Melissa Gilbert Prairie Tale, which spends too many words on her salacious scandals and other intimate details I didn’t care to know about. Anderson appears to be a g
