Melissa Gilbert a.k.a. Laura Ingalls

Melissa Gilbert, popularly known as Laura Ingalls from “Little House on the Prairie,” stole our hearts in the ’70s. Aside from the show’s popularity, Melissa had industry experience with various TV commercials. She continued to guest-star for shows such as “The Diary of Anne Frank,” and “The Miracle Worker.”

Those old shows were just insurance. Now, Melissa is really making waves. She made an appearance on NBC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2012. She has evolved over the years. She’s on tour as Caroline “Ma” Ingalls in “Little House on the Prairie, the Musical” and does voice-overs for “Batman: The Animated Series.”
