Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Melissa Gilbert. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Melissa Gilbert was one of the best known child actors of her generation. Her portrayal of Laura Ingalls Wilder in 'Little House on the Prairie' was hailed as brilliant by critics and fans alike. For a decade, we watched Melissa grow up and wow us with her amazing acting skills. Her portrayal of Laura was just about flawless. Add to that an excellent job playing Helen Keller alongside Patty Duke in a remake of 'The Miracle Worker' and it's easy to see why this young lady was so acclaimed.
Unfortunately, like so many highly successful child actors, Melissa was typecast due to her years playing Laura and her work as an adult, while excellent, has not been in the same calibre. It is indeed a pity because I for one would be more than happy to see this excellent actress, and former President of the Screen Actors Guild, back on our screens in a strong, recurring role.
Melissa Gilbert was a spectacular Laura Elizabeth Ingalls wilder. She matched Laura so perfectly. it was like she was born to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was great in season nine and was a good fake fighter. Her interviews are wonderful. She made Laura's bad moments better because she was talented. I loved and still love her connection with Michael Landon. She brought the better actors and actresses in some of her co stars. She is remarkable. She made some of the things Laura wears look modern and fancy instead of poor country. She was pretty good in sacrifices of the heart. She is sooooo great.
I love this actress...so beautiful, sweet and talented. I loved Little House On The Prairie..and i loved other movies in which she starred. I was so surprised to see her in Nip Tuck...She did a great job and her story (with the dog problem) was interesting if i can say so.
I remember another movie of hers...where she thought she was another person, a girl that was abducted (finally she remembered that she was the abductor's daughter)...i liked that movie too...Anyway she isn't such a big star but maybe it's better for her. Hope to see her in other movies soon.

I would not move until the show was over each week.Melissa Gilbet played a great role on Little House.She was 3 years old when she started acting and she was 10 when she took the role as Laura Ingalls on Little House.In her 20's Little house did a few movies witch she was in , in the 80's.She has since been in a number of tv shows and movies.She is very talented very down to earth actor , we have all watched her grow up on tv.
