In my opinion, this was the most realistic and honest look back I've listened to so far...

This lady is a class act! She chose motherhood over hollywood.... You almost never see this at all!

Lovely lady. She seems to be a very level headed person. And, she looks wholesome and healthy. Yes! Please! We need MORE family shows!

It's great to see a child actor be so content as a grown woman, no drugs, no jealousy no stupid reality shows. Melissa Sue Anderson is a true professional, although i didn't know that it was her that chose to write herself out of the show because of her blind character situation. I still like and admire Mellissa Sue Anderson.

What a wonderful interview, she is such a level headed, intelligent woman. Thank you Melissa for so many hours of family oriented shows. Wish we had something today like Little House today.

Melissa was clever enough to keep to herself and not fall into the Hollywood traps. !!

I was 9 years old when Little House on the Prairie started in 1974. I am 51 years old now. I grew up watching the show and I loved it then and I still love it now. Also it is based on the lives of real people who really existed which makes it even better. Great acting from a really great cast and the sets were amazing. One of my favourite shows ever. Melissa Anderson still looks absolutely stunning.

A very nice lady who loves her family.

She is a lovely woman and so grounded. I'm so glad she gave this interview. She's a beautiful 46 yrs. young!!

In watching this interview and just listening to how she is discussing things, things that mean something to her and her family values...what a shock that she is actually an actress! All you ever hear or see from Hollywood is immorality, drugs, sex, nudity, filty language...the list just goes on and on and now we have this young lady...beautiful and talented yet somehow pure and clean...hard to accept that she ever worked in that town. Her husband and her kids are so blessed to have her. She is a lady in a time when being a lady is almost nonexistent.

Yes, class indeed……I’m 50 now and I vividly remember thinking how gorgeous she was!!!! She still is……inside and out.

What an absolutely delightful and naturally beautiful person. Such a change from the self-centered, arrogant actors that pass for superstars these days. I hope that now that her family have grown she returns to the screen to wow us all. can't wait!

I was actually amazed at how beautiful she is. She was always very pretty on the show, but a lot of time has passed. She is two years younger than me. I think it's not only her outward appearance, but her spirit seems so gentle and kind. I wasn't a huge LHOTP fan, but this interview with this incredible woman makes me want to check it out more.

I love her eyes n everything about her😊

Wonderful to see her doing so well! I have to agree with one poster that it sounds like a robot asking her questions! Lol!

I absolutely loved this television series growing up. I still think back on it fondly. Loved this Melissa Anderson interview. I never knew what had happened to her and it was lovely to get an update on her life like this. Her childhood acting didn't spoil the lovely character that she is. It's amazing how she gave up acting for her family. I admire her even more for making that selfless choice. A wonderful person all round.

What a life. GOD Bless her and her family.💕

I watched the show when I was in my early 20's now almost in the twilight of my life I cherish those days when America was so different. LHOTP will always be my number 1 show by a distance, I love the whole crew, specially Michael ,RIP who put it all together.

She's still just as pretty as she was on the show . I agree with her when she talks about she wished there were more family oriented shows today . I have seen so many people comment about that very thing . There's just too much cussing , vulgar, and violence in this world enough as it is . Wht not go back to having what most families with kids want and that's shows like The little house on the prairie ? I loved watching it when I was growing up . I believe I've seen every episode. Thanks so much for sharing these great interviews .

She is such a naturally beautiful woman. Whew.. been making my heart skip a beat for 30+ years! And so down to earth too.. God sure did good making her :) ❤

What a great respectful interviewer. And a very beautiful actress till this day. Thank you for the memories Melissa.

She is so beautiful! She has beautiful skin like Olivia Newton-John and Lisa Hartman-Black! And those ice-blue eyes are so pretty! I didn't realize how nice she is!

Melissa Anderson seems like a really kind loving person with a big heart

My goodness...she still has those beautiful eyes. I am so happy to have gotten to see this interview and found all the interviews with the other cast members..GREAT memories. I was born in 73 and the show started in 72 I believe so I grew up watching the reruns and I just loved them all. Every episode they brought up I remember seeing.

Such a beautiful woman. Loved her as Mary.

THANK YOU MELISSA 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I loved the interview and the the ending when Micheal Landon is playing his Violin. My Micheal and all the others that have past RIP.

I watched all 6 part's ..... I'm truly impressed ...... I had no idea . true talent .... thank you !!!!!!!!!!! I'm at a loss of word's for once .

I enjoyed this very much!! Melissa Sue Anderson was RIGHT! They DO NEED MORE FAMILY ORIENTED shows on T.V. I absolutely DESPISE Reality shows & I don't watch them at all, PERIOD!! Thanks for posting this, Rest In Peace, Eugene Orowitz (AKA Michael Landon).

Melissa Anderson will always be remembered as the most beautiful and charming girl ever in little house

I'm glad her children got to have a mother at home.

Melissa is a lovely woman. I admired her and still do for her maturity, confidence, caring nature, her togetherness, ambition, and beauty. She's been very lucky.

Such a great interview!!! I Loved Little House on the Prairie it was a wonderful part of my childhood. I agree more shows like this would be nice. Thank goodness for reruns

The 2 Melissa's.. equally as wonderful... as each other... superb acting from both... This was in my lifetime... I feel honoured to have viewed this in its HayDay... Marvellous Moments

She seems a lovely unspoilt lady and so pretty and natural looking wonderful actress

THE VERY FIRST TIME I WATCHED THE SHOW- I TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AMAZING BLUE EYES!!!

I just wanted to say , what a great set of interviews with Melissa i watched all of them. Thanks to her for taking the time and doing these. I have to say, i could not take my eyes off of her, she is so beautiful.

I loved how Mary always cared about being obedient, trying her best, putting the family first, and studying. I really do try to emulate her on my good days even as an adult. She reminds me of what it was like to be little and to still be innocent. My little girl and I would watch LH everyday, and we would joke about it if she had a test the next day, which we would call an "examination" (like they called in on Little House.) I tried to implement that ethic of doing your best.

she is so beautiful. She hasn't aged

She seems down to earth and likable.

I loved Melissa Sue Anderson she was always gorgeous beautiful.n great actress for Mary Ingals . Melissa was in one of my favorite horror movies Happy Birthday to me

I loved the show, i loved every character for an array of reasons. I think Melissa did a fantastic job playing Mary and the show.

Thank you very much for sharing this interview! I'm from Argentina, and we all enjoy the show, which keeps on T.V. over the years... Melissa Sue is one of the best actresses of all times! Thanks a lot to her for being a part of my family for so many years!

Such a beautiful lady --inside and out. A real class act. Loved Little House Wish there more lovely shows today like that! Thanks for sharing!!

After all, she is still beautiful

I love Melissa Sue Anderson as an actress I wish she would come back onto a New show! She looks great!🌹

She has BARELY changed its amazing

What a nice down to earth lady.

I have now seen all 6 parts of this interview, and I must say Melissa come across just as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. Great interview!

I so loved little House on the Prairie.. I always looked forward to Sunday nights.. Australia 🇦🇺❣️❤️❤️❤️

This show help shape my life thanks Little house and all the wonderful actors 😀

Little House was the last show on t.v. that still mentioned the name of The Lord Jesus Christ!we need more shows like this!

It's an interesting conversation there she always thought about what matters what's important in life

She is very sincere and down-to-earth. She is not rude and arrogant like so many Hollywood women.

After all these years Melissa Anderson still looks beautiful as she was in little house

Excellent interview in parts ...loved that show and still do ..she is so right there is a waiting audience for family shows

I like her. She put her family first.

i think maybe michael landon really WAS an angel sent from Heaven

I like Melissa Sue Anderson's voice

I think she is prettier now than when she was younger! She has such a genuine warmth and naturalness. None of this phony baloney Hollywood act.

I wish she can get the best offer for having her own television series someday where she's the main character including other actors and actresses. I think she would be the biggest star all over again. And by the way, one of my cousin, Michael Maxedon has 3 kids and his oldest is his daughter who looks a lot like Melissa Sue Anderson.

so many memories...thank you for uploading the interview

It's sad when a mother today feels it's "selfish" to not want to miss out on all their babies' firsts...

Very enjoyable interview.

Meravigliosa, dolcissima, angelica, bravissima, bisogna essere bravissimi per interpretare dei non vedenti, e lei è riuscita a interpretare la parte al massimo. Che occhioni meravigliosi, ogni volta che vedo quando lei diventa cieca mi scendono le lacrime, è più forte di me, bravissima. Di Leo Diana

She looks like a young Michelle Pfeiffer. She really was a talented actress.

Why do they never talk about Karen Grassle in these interviews? I've seen many with Melissa Gilbert, and now Melissa Sue Anderson, and Ms. Grassle's name never comes up. I thought she was terrific as Ma Ingalls, rarely given enough to do, but she always projected a quiet grace and dignity that goes unsung. They even talked about Victor French in this one, and Ms. Grassle is strangely omitted.

Wow how attractive is she... Back then and nearly as old then, I too had a crush(lucky EP's son) and now looking at her again reminded me how beautiful she was then and now. Thanks for posting. Wish she would tweet so I can tweet at her :-)

Thank you so much for sharing these. I really enjoyed the videos.

definitely one of the best family films to date

One of the greatest shows there ever was, such a nice family show. Thank You ?.

Thanks so much for posting this interview. I really appreciate her more now that I heard her interview. Thanks again for posting!

I loved watching this show I do wish they would make more family shows

Oh my god, what a hugely grounded, humble delightful person she is!

Thank you for posting the interview. I thought she was one of the best young actors ever.

What a sweetheart , love her !!!!

I'm glad to see Hollywood didn't ruin Melissa Sue Anderson like it did to some other child stars, I remember as a child seeing the two-part episode where Mary went blind and it was HORRIFYING to me at the time. Good actress.

I agree with her that it's weird for Adam to regain his sight (such an unrealistic situation), only for them to never follow up on it much in the show. They could have done some episodes with him taking on other legal cases even if she's just there to support him. Strangely, the show portrayed it as something that drove a wedge between Adam and Mary.

Fantastic interview ❣️❣️❣️

She still look great and I never even seen the show but I remember seeing her photoshots in the Japanese '"Screen" magazine during the 1970s.

Melissa made me laugh when she said she'd catch herself acting blind when she did other shows but was happy no one noticed her doing it.

I just love that she wanted to stay home with her kids. So many women think they aren't fufilled that way. Why have kids then? I never understood that. I treasured every moment I spent home with them and never felt unfufilled or demeaned or bored, and I hated when I had to work. And I loved my work by the way, before they were born.

she still looks the same even on her visit on the brady bunch just as beautiful love her

ya i like it too when the famous actors kinda like start to slow down at a point in their career and concentrate on family. it really shows to people that they are real people and not just figureheads or an icon. looking forward to see more of Melissa Anderson in the future!

I am forever one of the biggest fans of little house I think it's such a great tv show

I truly love this show! I'm only like 30 but I love it! Mary was always my fav character

thanks for this post

Yah what a great interview and so genuinely nice and honest!!

Little House, Highway to Heaven, and the Walton’s were the only tv shows that I ever saw my Grandma watch.

Thanks Melissa Sue, for your candor and sweet nature displayed here for your fans to know a little bit about you as Melissa Sue and not just "Mary"

Looking back on all the episodes, like she said I have also thought, Boy, all the traumatic stuff happened to Mary, the barn burning, going blind, almost dying from that infection, the baby dying, and getting kidnapped! But I'm not so sure I could see Laura doing all the intense rolls, And that emmy nomination happened for a reason, She was great as Mary and when I decided to check on the "where are they now" kinda of stuff, it was Melissa Anderson I most wanted to see. Really enjoyed this!

Melissa sue Anderson was a natural born actress , till now I watch LHOTP

I love the show it is when tv was tv

Wow, she looks just as beautiful now as she did back then! Doesn't even look like she's aged a bit! The only thing different is that her eyes aren't as strikingly blue as when she was on the show.

I loved the episode "Meet Me At The Fair.". It was so great. She was fab in it. I often think about that episode. It was so very well done.

A great interview....cool too that we share the same birthdays I do miss good TV though...very slim pickings nowadays.

good interview!

I love the show there isn't that many shows like little house that's what makes it speacel and differenet to every show in then world. It makes me smile because my parnets watch this when they were younger than I am now and they love it too. That's how I got into loving this show. I love all the charaters of the show, my favorites were Charles, Mary, Albert and Mr Edwards. As I got into more of all then seasons of the show, I loved them all now. Charles- he is a loving, hard working father just like my own father. And Charles makes jokes just like my Dad. Caroline- She reminds me of my Mum. All ways trys to help us out with our clothes. She has the same smile as my Mum too. Mary- She looks like my twin sister a lot. Blonde long hair, bigger cheeks than me. Hannah is a lot like Mary, Mary loved to read, learn about history like Hannah. Laura- Laura reminds me of me! I am the more outdoors person than my twin. I loved to just be outside. I dont really care that much about hair or clothes like Hannah. I always was not the studying type, and always never really read books. I love to learn outside! Carrie- she reminds more like I want a little sister! I've alwas wanted on, Carrie is cute but gets more grown up as she gets older. Mr+Mrs Olsen- they remind me the funny side of my parnets. Dad would be more quite than Mum. This is funny like a double act!

Melissa Anderson is truley a great part of t.v.

Children shouldn’t be the centre of attention. We were brought up to respect adults and humbly to stay in the background when adults met and talked. It is a good thing to learn that instead of expecting attention in any situation.
