Inside Melissa Gilbert’s War With Promoter Pushing ‘Little House on the Prairie’ Events
Melissa Gilbert has had enough with the shady promoter of recent 'Little House on the Prairie' events and has sworn them off, along with her other costars.
Melissa, 60, who played pioneer girl Laura Ingalls Wilder on the NBC program from 1974 to 1983, appeared at one California festival in March — but was unable to continue the tour.
