Little Feud on the Prairie

16. I saw her on a child star show, and she seems to have a few screws loose as an adult. really goofy. So, she probably is jealous of the actress who played Mary. She should be glad she had any kind of career.

17. THERE'S PROBABLY ALOT OF TRUTH TO WHAT ALISION IS SAYING. MELISSA SUE ANDERSON HAS NEVER BEEN TO ANY LITTLE HOUSE FUNCTIONS OR REUNIONS AND IN MANY READINGS ABOUT HER SHE WAS ALWAYS JEALOUS OF MELISSA GILBERT AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH MICHAEL LANDON. SO SAD SINCE I'D BE PROUD I WAS ON LITTLE HOUSE BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY WASN'T!

18. And this was, what, 40 years ago? This is all she's got after 40 years of Hollywood? Pathetic.

19. I always find the comments about people not caring to be amusing. If you did not care you would not have read the piece and the fact that they then go on to comment is strange.

20. I loved those stories and the resulting tv series. Regarding Arngrim, I guess she just seems a little screwy from years of doing standup comedy routines. I applaud her for her many many years of activist work in the fight against AIDS and child abuse.

22. For people that have followed the show some, this is very well known. All of the stars, especially Linwood Boomer who played Mary Ingalls husband Adam, said that kissing her was like kissing ice. She was cold, difficult and very demanding. She has never supported any of her fans or fan sites, and has never wanted much to do with the cast or the show that made her famous. Other than her, many of the cast members have stayed friends and they say how they loved eachother and working with on another. Just another pretty hollywood diva.

23. Anything is possible. The thing that irked me about the show was Michael Landon's rewritting of the "Little House" books and their stories. He made a sham out of the Ingalls family and their lives. Mary Ingalls did indeed go blind but she went away to a college for the blind in Iowa for about 6 years. she then came home to live with her parents. She never married or had a child. Laura did become a teacher but she hated teaching. She did it to help her family financially so Mary could go to college. Laura was never close to Almanzo's sister, Eliza Jane. She detested her. The Ingalls family never adopted any children. Landon has them adopting a boy named albert, and another boy and girl. Ridiculous! The character of Nellie was okay. allison was terrific.

24. im sorry that they are a feuding. i loved both of them on little house. mary when she talked to the little black blind boy and told him that she loved him. at mary's birthday party in wenoka that she didn't need any presents that she had all her family and friends and that is all she needed. and she deserved an emmy when she did the show when she was teaching at the church and had to deal with mrs. peel. i saw a picture of mary sitting at a braile book trying to read with her fingers. when i saw it, i just cried. i loved nellie when she married purscival. she was so sweet when she was big time pregnant and cooking at the stove. she finally matured and her and caroline got along great; i also admire alison's charity work and her activism with the children's group she is with for abused children and her tireless work with the Aids group she helps. i love to see her on nancy grace. alison is amazing.

26. All I can say first is who gives a rats ass about kids from 30+ years ago. But I always wanted to hit it and quit it with the blind one.

27. Melissa and Sara Gilbert don't look alike because Melissa is adopted.

This story is a change from what was said during the filming. Michael Landon said many times the actress who played Mary was just as wonderful in real life as she was on the show. The actress who played Nellie tried out for Laura, didn't get it, tried out for Mary, didn't get it, and then tried out for Nellie, and got the role, although she didn't stay through until the end of the series.

TMZ was be having a REALLY slow day to print questionable gossip about a show that started in 1974.

28. BELOW IS A EMAIL I JUST RECEIVED FROM ALYSON ARNGRIM HERSELF. I ASKED HER IF THIS WAS TRUE. THIS WAS HER EMAIL REPLY:

Nope - not what I said at all.

Yes, I said she was "high maintenance" - quite true - she was. But not at all the same as being a bitch.

For instance, I might be a "bitch" but I am very "low maintenance"!

(You may have figured out at this point, that this was all supposed to be a...joke. Like hulloo??????)

Didn't say her mom was like Dina Lohan either.

NOBODY is as bad as Dina Lohan - yes, she is the worst stage mom on earth - and I know I said that!

Seems TMZ has taken a a misquote as holy gospel again...not really a surprise. They do love doing that.

Tell everybody to chill, OK?

29. Wait, TMZ is taking something I said SERIOUSLY??? (Not to mention the hilarious "additions"!)

Oh you guys are a riot!!! Listen, why don't you come to my show in New York at the Cutting Room on August 13th and let's see if we can't clear this all up?

You know I actually love all my Prairie "sistern and brethren", right? (Yes, even the totally "high maintenance" ones! And believe me we had more than a few!)
