Melissa Sue Anderson recently turned 61 – hold your heart before you see her now

She talks about how she wants to leave Hollywood in the present day and relocate to Canada.

This actress, who started out in supporting parts, rose to fame after playing a crucial part in “Little House on the Prairie.” Her admirers came to see that she was worthy of the multiple nominations she received for Best Lead Actress in a Dramatic Series because of her performance.

When Anderson was asked about her experience filming the drama that catapulted her to fame in a 2010 interview with Pop Entertainment, she stated, “I’m lucky that there was even a character to play, because in the book, there isn’t much of one.” When Laura [Ingalls] penned the Little House novels—which served as the inspiration for the television adaptation and the main plot point of the narrative—she was a considerably older lady. She was reminiscing about her finest moments. Mary and Ma’s traits didn’t really influence anything. There was Jack the dog, Mr. Edwards, Laura, and Pa around, but Mary wasn’t as present. It’s a blessing that they realized I could do something.

After Mary Ingalls, she experimented with a number of strange careers before marrying television producer Michael Sloan in 1990. The couple moved to Montreal in 2002 with their daughter Piper and two kids, Griffin and Piper.

Anderson made the decision to leave the entertainment industry in 2007 once the family was granted Canadian citizenship. She wanted to spend more time with her children and not feel compelled to pursue a career in the performing arts.

Anderson stated, “I really stepped away for a long time,” in an interview with E-Talk. That was primarily done for the kids, so they wouldn’t stick around with me and have their own identity.

 

 

Even after quitting acting entirely, Anderson has recently taken on a few small jobs. Her biography, The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House, was inspired by her transformative experience as a cast member of television shows like “Little House on the Prairie.”
