Melissa Gilbert Speaks Out After Death of Little House on the Prairie’s Jack Lilley: He ‘Felt Like Home’


Melissa Gilbert announced the death of Little House on the Prairie costar Jack Lilley in an Instagram post after bonding on the set of the series.

In 2002 (ish) I had the great pleasure of acting in a western pilot for ABC, produced by Chris Brancato and Bert Salke, starring my pal, Sean Patrick Flanery, called Then Came Jones. (Mary Elizabeth Winstead , in her very first role, played my daughter) It was a joy to shoot and I was so bummed when it didn’t get picked up.” In addition to his work on Little House on the Prairie, Jack made appearances in Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Dallas, The Virginian, Rawhide, Maverick and more.
