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. Yet, she charges organizer Jack Bishop and his company, Gravel Road Markets LLC, continued to advertise her involvement and wrongly told consumers she was a co-producer! Melissa and former costars Alison Arngrim, Karen Grassle, Dean Butler, Charlotte Stewart and Matthew Labyorteaux announced none of them would appear at the company’s future events due to them being “poorly organized and executed” — and requested their names and likenesses be removed from all promotional materials!
