The Biggest Stars From Television’s Beloved Series: Where Are They Now?
Melissa Gilbert – Little House on the Prairie
When Melissa Gilbert was 9 years old, she tried out for the role of Laura Ingalls in the television series Little House on the Prairie. She had beaten 500 child actors when she got the part. She went on to star in the series for several years, and when it ended, she still pursued acting, but nothing as big and memorable as Little House on the Prairie. In an autobiography she’s written, Gilbert detailed how she battled drug addiction and alcoholism, and won. Aside from acting, Gilbert is also pursuing a career in politics.
