Thank you all! Little house is my soul food and you were such a huge part of my childhood. Im on home hospice for cancer and I love revisiting this show that brings back wonderful memories! My friends and I watched every single week and talked about it in school the next day. We pretended our Holly Hobbie dolls were Mary and Laura, etc. The show was so huge to us as children in the 70s!
Melissa Anderson is extremely genuine. I respect the fact that she wanted to move "forward" with her life. Not everyone wants to be defined by an event that occurred 50 years ago. I am also thankful for Dean and Alison who continue to carry on this legacy.
I am so impressed at what a good sport Melissa is. It’s wonderful to see everyone laughing and to know the real reasons she doesn’t do Little House functions. She is delightful. Well done everyone, on this very fun interview!
I hope not true.. if you read all these memoirs there was apparently dislike. Hey we who watched 50 years ago.. older we get we can change..right? And the visit in france must have helped so just happy she appeared
I think Melissa has been misunderstood over the years and prob misjudged as a result. I love that she's doing interviews and stuff. Love hearing her perspective.
@@greensmoothiequeen well, just going off what she said here…she feels like she wants to always be looking forward in her life, not backwards. I have a feeling, though, (just like Dean and Allison said) she would be really pleasantly surprised by the joy and fulfillment that attending some of these events could bring her in her present life. Either way, it was great she did this interview. I think it really helped dispel some rumors and it showed her a great light!
Thank you for having the Beautiful Melissa Sue on your podcast! She was my absolute FAVORITE from LHOTP! Such a Great actress..and so sweet. I love Alison/Nellie too 🩷🩷
This was really great, thank you! I think one of my all-time favorite scenes of the entire show, is when it's Mary's birthday and they have just moved to the city, she and Adam and everyone are seated around the table in the restaurant, Pa has just been beaten up, and Laura gives Mary a birthday card in braille that Mary 'reads' aloud. I just lose it in a full ugly cry every single time. The depth of emotion in that scene is just off the charts, due to the amazing acting of Melissa Sue Anderson. Would love to hear any of the actors' memories of that scene.
Beautifully done...and i too like hearing all the little details as well. Thank you so much for doing this podcast Melissa...you really are very much loved by most if not all in the Little House world out here. And happy early birthday to my fellow 9/26 Libra🙂 Thanks again to all for putting these podcasts together...the efforts are immensely appreciated and the results are amazing 🙂
Part 2 was awesome! Thank you to Melissa for the amazing detail on how you prepped for your character as Mary went blind on the show. That was one of my questions I had throughout the years. Thank you to the rest for keeping this podcast going. It would be so awesome to see all of the remaining living characters together on an episode if possible.
Agree, she was so very loved and again, she evoked all kinds of emotions. I can remember many times being choked up and tearful in her story lines! Always thought she was so beautiful too, and still is!
SO enjoyed this episode that continues the conversation with Melissa Anderson. Hope we see more of her in the years to come - whether it's LHOTP related or not. It has been wonderful to hear her experiences on the show, and what her life has been like since. As a fellow mom who held down the fort on the homefront, I feel like I can relate to her so very much. Great interview!
Awesome interview! How interesting that the person who put Alison and Melissa Sue back in touch after all these years is a French man! Thanks, Patrick Loubatiere! We all missed Melissa Sue!
This was Great! I love Melissa Sue. It was so nice to watch Alison and Melissa laughing together and being friends. I hope Melissa Gilbert got over her anger at Melissa Sue. That always upset me. I knew Melissa Sue was a kind, genuine, modest, sweet girl. Love you all…Nellie, Almanzo, Mary 🩷💙🩷. Very nice ❤️
Thank you, thank you all, for sharing. So very nice to have Melissa's contribution, her experience, POV. It never occurred to me that French spoken in Canada, Quebec French, is a dialect just as Casilian Spanish is a dialect. (Good to know when you travel and want to speak the language.)
Another amazing podcast. So glad Melissa came back! She is so nice and smart. I’m sure they’re trying to keep it somewhat light and fun, but some of Dean’s and Allison’s uproarious laughs come across as taking jabs at what Melissa is saying. Melissa was a good sport nevertheless. Perhaps the most pointed question was Dean’s about Melissa attending events. It needed to be asked, and I do appreciate Melissa’s stance-about living in the now. I’m sure those events can be physically and mentally grueling too, as Allison and Dean alluded to. That said, I still think Melissa could’ve really enjoyed them. Of course she’d be swamped with praise and fan-love!
I understand where she's coming from when she says she wants to move forward. How many of us not want to see things from when we were kids? Somethings were good, but somethings weren't. I don't cherish all of my memories from 10-18. We also don't know what her personal life was truly like then, and it's not our business. She wrote an autobiography, and much of those years are more about being on set, etc.
I can totally understand how Melissa feels. I remember that Jean Stapleton refused to do the Edith voice. They are actors who portrayed characters. Life is more that one job, no matter how popular.
Really enjoyed both Part 1 and 2. It's good to hear Melissa's straight forward, direct, honest way of talking. Actually, Melissa/Mary was not my favorite from the show, yet it's still nice to hear her thoughts. That's a real shock that her own kids weren't enthused to see the episodes.
The events are in the "Now". I don't think of them as looking back at all. It's just another way of being in the NOW. It's in the NOw for me. Thank you all for doing the events, not backward at all.
Ok, just to say about Pamela Bob's question on how did you forget your baby........ in the fire...... Mary and Adam didn't forget thier baby, Alice Garvey told Adam and Mary to go on with Hester Sue and the other Blind children, and she would get the baby. Hence the sighted person could go quickly and get the baby.....BUT she didn't know about the boy stuck in the bathroom. If she didn't have to save him too, they would have gotten out. Let's all remember that whole thing.... I'm just saying 😮😊😅😂
Thank you for the good clarification! I couldn’t exactly remember myself. I guess Pamela went on a tangent with facts misinformation she read somewhere.
Hello Almanzo, Nellie, Mary, and Pamela, if you read this message, please do me a favor. There are a lot of fans in Germany who love you and would be very happy to meet you. Please everyone come together, including Laura Ingalls, Albert, Caroline, etc. to Germany. There are a lot of fans who can't afford a flight and stay to the USA. If you came it would be a dream...
Question I would have for her children would be when they were interviewed for their jobs did the prospective employers know who their mother was? Not that it would matter, but then, my next question would be. did the employers and fellow employees just organically find out? Then it would be great to hear that story
I never have and never will be a patreon to any channel. Imagine loving 5 channels and wanting so called exclusives by being a patreon? I’m going broke but the channels thrive from my and many other gullible folks hard earned money? NOPE! My hard earned money is mine. Utube is free and wifi internet isn’t! So I pay for internet to watch free content. Why should I pay anything for something you’re choosing to want to do? Obviously you have the time to do this why would I pay to see what I can eventually find on google? 😂
Dear Allison and Melissa, I know there is a strong accent in Montreal in French, but NO, not EVERYONE necessarily speaks with this accent! Especially not like CELINE DION's!
Yep, dumb drama forgetting the baby, LOL. Just like in the blizzard episode when the telegraph man obviously did not relay the messages he was receiving to anyone in town, much less Ms. Beadle. Dumb!! Must have been simply for dramatic effect.

Ok. I'll ask. What's the real reason? I've heard her say in another interview that she's not being asked.
I hope not true.. if you read all these memoirs there was apparently dislike. Hey we who watched 50 years ago.. older we get we can change..right? And the visit in france must have helped so just happy she appeared

@@pmtspmts8441many times reticence or shyness or reluctance can be misinterpreted. People are complicated, especially being raised as a child star

Melissa Anderson has got I think one of the highest amount of views on last weeks podcast thus far! We love Mary!
I can listen to Melissa Anderson all day 😊
I'm glad most of them lived long enough to experience the love and appreciation so many of us have for this particular show. They deserve the honor.

Melissa give very thoughtful, non-flippant answers. Very good interview. 👍

Thank you Melissa for sharing your stories. I have never seen the Equalizer, so I will need to look it up.
I love Mary,Melissa Sue,my favorite show in the Little House of the praire is "the Award". Beautiful show.❤❤ thanks, Melissa.
Agree, she was so very loved and again, she evoked all kinds of emotions. I can remember many times being choked up and tearful in her story lines! Always thought she was so beautiful too, and still is!

What a wonderful and historic event this is! Thank you all! 🏡📺😃
I think I laughed more during this episode than any other so far. Loved it!

Melissa sue is gorgeous, well spoken love her!!!👍🇨🇦❤️
What a wonderful continuation of the first episode with Melissa Anderson It would be wonderful to have “ Ma”
Karen Grassle on next!

Just joined the Patreon! So excited for the bonus content.
Really enjoyed this interview Mellissa a classy lady 👏🇨🇦

Exactly, imagine being defined by something you did 50 years ago. I can't remember what I did last night.
So cool!! I loved that!! WOW, acting blind seems complex!!!
Alison doing an impromptu Celine impression. Amazing! 👏 😂
Really enjoyed both Part 1 and 2. It's good to hear Melissa's straight forward, direct, honest way of talking. Actually, Melissa/Mary was not my favorite from the show, yet it's still nice to hear her thoughts.
That's a real shock that her own kids weren't enthused to see the episodes.
So good to see Melissa ! ❤❤
30 minutes from Simi Valley to Los Angeles... lol I don't think so.
Melissa was so serious and pretty on lhotp...she was one of my favorites from the show...
Like hearing Dean's Muttley dog laugh
Laura Ingalls is my husband's great grandfather's 6th cousin
That is too cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍
On their mother's side
Another good day for Little House.
hey y'all- this was so good! 😁 Love you all🥰
Melissa Anderson did a great job and played an older sister so well. The responsible one. Good to see you Melissa Anderson
It would have been great to have all of the remaining cast members at the 50th anniversary celebration .
Really great episode. What a delight++
Dean I did your first audio review on Everand and yiu are a 5! Loved it
The events are in the "Now". I don't think of them as looking back at all. It's just another way of being in the NOW. It's in the NOw for me. Thank you all for doing the events, not backward at all.
I love this podcast so much, Have my million dollar idea... Ever thought about making any commentary tracks for episodes...
Cant wait for Connecticut!! ❤❤
I really like Melissa Anderson. So is it she isn't asked to reunions or wants to face forward.
Is it me or is dean sounding like Kasey Kasum (sp?)… and I love hearing dean laughing during the intro!!! You 3 are a scream !!

This is so true! I was thinking the same thing 😊
Thank you for the good clarification! I couldn’t exactly remember myself. I guess Pamela went on a tangent with facts misinformation she read somewhere.
Melissa you are still as beautiful as ever.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
Question about podcast , will this continue on after the 50 year. festivities are over?
Yes I think so.
Interviewers still cutting her off to compliment her too often as in part 1. You landed the marquee guest so let her talk.
