Today I went to Simi Valley in California where they had the 50th anniversary cast reunion and festival for the Little House on the Prairie. Melissa Gilbert was on the panel. It was a question and answering interview. It was really incredible to see her after I’ve been watching her for over 45 years on television.

The Democratic party shipped Half-Pint and her goofy husband to MICHIGAN to establish residency, and run her popular name against actual Michigan politicians in a race for Congress. Half-Pint was forced to CANCEL her political run when it was revealed what a terrible jerk she is. Once Melissa Gilbert's massive tax debt was revealed, the party withdrew support for her. Half-Pint got kicked out, and was homeless when the donor wanted the house back and she was forced to sell her personal possessions in an estate sale. A SECOND estate sale, at another borrowed Michigan property was SHUT DOWN. The presumption was, the sale was halted by the I.R.S. Google that - it's all 100% true

She is living as authentic self now, leaving Hollywood behind, living in New York City and the Catskill mountains. She has mentioned this in her most recent books and interviews. The amount of pressure in Hollywood to conform is horrible, to look a certain way. She has stated that. I love her as a person. She's friends with Mindy Cohn, Natalie, from the Facts of Life. Both women share a similar view.💌

Little House on the Prairie has been such a big part of my life and that of my family over the year. Having grown up in the arts myself I have had the pleasure of meeting or even working cast members over the year but I didn't realize how emotional it would be to see all the videos from the Cast Reunion. There will never be a show on tv that can come close to the amazing impact Little House has had on generation after generation. I'm only 2 years younger than Melissa and still watch Little House, have my McGuffy readers and the original books, and all my signed memorabilia over the year. Wishing the cast and fans an amazing celebration. So great Jonathan can make it, and was especially happy to see Ketty as I'm also a jazz pianist/vocalist and have always loved her "Love Letters" album. I of course can go on and on. HAPPY REUNION
