<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMelissa grew up in California and has an older sister. Her parents separated when she was 13, and she mostly lived with her mother, who was Catholic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her journey into acting began when her dance teacher suggested she try acting. She started with commercials for companies like Mattel and Sears, leading to opportunities in television. She appeared on shows such as \u201cBewitched,\u201d \u201cThe Brady Bunch,\u201d and \u201cShaft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, her breakthrough came with the role in \u201cLittle House on the Prairie,\u201d which she portrayed for eight years. The show revolved around a family living on a farm in the 1870s and 1880s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following her time on the series, Melissa Sue Anderson ventured into other projects. She received a nomination for her role in the horror movie \u201cHappy Birthday to Me\u201d the year after leaving \u201cLittle House on the Prairie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She continued to act in movies and TV shows like \u201cThe Equalizer,\u201d \u201cMurder, She Wrote,\u201d and \u201cCHiPs.\u201d She also tried her hand at producing, contributing to the creation of a show called \u201cWhere Pigeons Go to Die,\u201d which was Michael Landon\u2019s final project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1998, she was honored and inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame. The following year, she appeared in the TV show \u201cPartners,\u201d but it didn\u2019t perform well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As she grew older, Melissa Sue Anderson reduced her acting roles. One of her last TV appearances was in the miniseries \u201c10.5 Apocalypse\u201d in 2006, where she played the role of the First Lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She took on smaller movie roles and played Stosh\u2019s mom in the show \u201cVeronica Mars\u201d in 2014, although she was uncredited. Melissa wrote a book titled \u201cThe Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House,\u201d in which she shared stories from her time as a child star and talked about the people she worked with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2002, her family relocated to Montreal, and they later became Canadian citizens. She made the decision to step back from acting and focus on caring for her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During an interview, she discussed one of the most challenging parts of her job, which was when her character on \u201cLittle House on the Prairie\u201d went blind in the fourth season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Melissa Sue Anderson was born on September 26, 1962, in Berkeley, California, USA.
