Melissa Gilbert isn't taking any chances when it comes to the upcoming election for President of the United States. The Little House on the Prairie alum, 60, put on a gorgeous hot pink power suit from designer Argent. Melissa urged people to register to vote and get out and vote - regardless of their political party. 'I want to thank @whenweallvote and @argent for sending me this amazing power suit. It's powerful because of what it symbolizes,' her caption began. 'Among many other things I will be voting to protect reproductive rights. Voting for the future I want for my children and grandchildren. It is my sacred right and it is yours too.'

Little House on the Prairie alum Melissa Gilbert is set to guest star in a Hallmark series, nearly 11 years after leaving Hollywood to embrace life on a Michigan farm. The 60-year-old actress, who played Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, will appear in a two-episode arc in the upcoming 12th season of When Calls The Heart, premiering in 2025.  Her character, Georgie McGill, will share 'a surprising past with one special Hope Valley resident,' according to a press release.

Melissa Gilbert had to 'get out' of Hollywood after childhood stardom. The 60-year-old actress starred on the Western series Little House on the Prairie as a child and continued to work throughout the 1980s and 1990s. But eventually had to leave Los Angeles because of the 'pressures' she had faced over the years.

Little House on the Prairie alum Melissa Gilbert just revealed she suffers from a disorder called misophonia and it was 'a really dark and difficult part of my childhood.' People with misophonia experience intense fight-or-flight reactions to triggering everyday sounds such as chewing, slurping, crunching, throat-clearing, and clapping.

Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert's first onscreen kiss was cut short by her own mother. The legendary actress, now 60, who played Laura Ingalls on the 1974-1983 series, was filming a romantic scene with her co-star and TV husband Dean Butler, now 67, when her mother began sobbing near the set. The emotional outburst led to such a disturbance that Michael Landon, the show's leading actor, writer, and director, had to abruptly halt filming with a shout of 'cut.'

Dean Butler of Little House on the Prairie said he and teen co-star Melissa Gilbert were 'closer' in age when filming their kiss scene. The actor, who is now 59, talked about the age gap with Gilbert, how it had been a hindrance. Gilbert was 15 years old when they revealed their first on-screen kiss on the show, which they starred on from 1979 to 1983.

On Good Morning America this week, there was a Little House On The Prairie reunion. Melissa Gilbert (who appeared Laura), Karen Grassle (Laura's mother Caroline), and Alison Arngrim (Laura's nemesis, Nellie Oleson) were all on the same side to revisit the 1970s-1980s television series. They are also commemorating the 50th anniversary of the series ahead of a big bash in Simi Valley this weekend. The show was shot in California, where it was shot. The ladies are ecstatic to learn that it has already been 50 years old. 'It's overwhelming, actually,' Gilbert said. I'm remembering so much from my childhood and so much of my childhood, as well as a slew of happy experiences and emotional encounters with all of these people.'

Melissa Gilbert unveiled her latest collection, Modern Prairie on Wednesday. The Little House On The Prairie actress was photographed in one of the latest red dresses with a floral pattern. "What a wonderful day, and not just because it's Wednesday... The debut of our 50 Years of Loving Laura collection is today.' The former child actor began anew. Each piece is unique and special, reflecting our vision and hard work.' There's something for everyone from linens to ceramics, aprons to toys, and everything in between.' Have you checked it out yet?Better mosey on over to the Modern Prairie website because these limited-edition treasures are flying off the shelves!' She introduced an app for her Modern Prairie lifestyle brand, which was aimed at older women in November.

Melissa Gilbert's Modern Prairie lifestyle brand, aimed at older women, has launched an app. Nicole Haase, a 59-year-old Little House On The Prairie star, cofounded Modern Prairie a year ago with retail and merchandising specialist Nicole Haase. In an article published on Monday, Gilbert said, 'The retail industry has underestimated women our age, our ability, and eagerness to invest.' 'There was little space for an elderly woman in the house of Commons.' We were either marginalized as a spaced-out senior lady or as a cranky old woman you should avoid. There's obviously so much more to us than that.'

Since the union representing struggling Hollywood celebrities called for a strike-friendly Halloween celebration this year, Australian actress Ruby Rose has expressed her support for SAG-AFTRA. On Wednesday, SAG-AFTRA warned its members that they should not dress up as any characters in hit films or shows by posting a digital flyer on its strike website. Several A-list celebrities, including Mandy Moore and Melissa Gilbert, have since sluggishly condemned the decision, accusing SAG-AFTRA for not having its priorities in order.

The rage surrounding the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike seems to be reaching a tipping point for some union members. Mandy Moore and Melissa Gilbert are among the more high-profile individuals who have sluggish priorities in the midst of the work stoppage involving the company's 160,000 media professionals and entertainers. More than three months into the strike, the actresses broke into the union's code this Halloween, where members are encouraged not to dress as characters from struck performances and instead wear generic costumes such as a non-specific ghost, zombie, spider, or witch. They also advised SAG-AFTRA members commemorating Halloween not to post photos inspired by struck content on social media so that the studios don't get any additional exposure. 'Is this a joke? Visit @sagaftra. This is what's important?' After learning of the spooky season rules, Moore, 39, fired back. We're asking you to engage in good faith on our behalf.' For months, so many people from every facet of this industry have been sacrificed slavishly for months. Everyone will return to work if they return to work and get a fair deal. Please and thank you.

In a recent interview, the 59-year-old actress, who famously left Hollywood in order to move to a small cabin in upstate New York in 2018, confessed that she is adoreing her silver-stranded hair and even described it as her 'favorite thing ever.' 'I actually cut eight inches off of my hair and asked if they should keep my hair because they suspected there were some customers who wanted to match my color,' she said.

Melissa Gilbert of Little House On the Prairie fame spent the night in New York's emergency room on Thursday evening, she revealed. As she wore a hospital gown in her bed, the 59-year-old actress took to Instagram to snap a snapshot of her hand with an IV in it. Melissa reported that she had been diagnosed with an absces and cellulitis after swelling up from a nasty bug bite but not from a bee or wasp, but rather from some 'flying spider.' Timothy Busfield's wife revealed that she had a 'Public Service Announcement' for her Instagram followers about how bug bites should be treated seriously.

Raquel Welch's company manager announced on Wednesday that she died at the age of 82 after a brief illness. Shock waves ripped through the entertainment industry quickly, realizing that one of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s beauty of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1980s, 1990s, 1980s and 1980s was gone for good. And after tributes for the Incredible Voyage and One Million Years B.C., a new one appears. The actress came pouring in. Several actors discussed Raquel's legendary role in Hollywood as she was one of the first brunette bombshells to appear in films. Reese Witherspoon, Melissa Gilbert, and Viola Davis were among the celebrities who took to social media to share their messages.
