Little House on the Prairie's Alison Arngrim, NY Times bestselling author, stand-up comedian, activist, and TV history's #1 one bitch, according to Vanity Fair, was in the house. Nellie Oleson, the girl America loved to hate… is actually... nice… funny... and fun! A sweetheart. Shhhh… An advocate against child abuse following her own violation, an Aids activist, following the death of Steve Tracy, her Little House on-screen husband and co-star, is a… good person. Don’t tel! You ruin her jam. Alison’s memoir, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated chronicles her journey, as does this show, where she was forthcoming about starting in show biz at age 5, being a “has been” at 11, and then scoring the role of a lifetime at 12. Her industry family’s reaction to her perceived “failures” and soaring successes, the internal struggles, her mom’s iconic work as Casper the Friendly Ghost, Gumby and Davey of Davey and Goliath. Her manager father who’s clients included Liberace and Debbie Reynolds… nailing Nellie, working with Michael Landon and the Bonanza drinking and smoking crew, her close friendship with Melissa Gilbert in spite of their onscreen animosity… 7 years of being on top of the world as her character explored the depths… standup comedy, world renown, activism with passion and commitment, falling in love and staying there… that’s the real Nellie… I mean, Alison. What a trip she is with an inexhaustible spirit. So, so much fun.
