Who is Melissa Sue Anderson?
Melissa Sue Anderson was born on September 26, 1962, in Berkeley, California, USA. She is an actress, possibly best known for her role as Mary Ingalls in the television series “Little House on the Prairie” in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Melissa Sue Anderson’s net worth is unknown. According to sources, as of late 2018, she had a net worth of $1.5 million, which she gained via a successful acting career that included various film and television enterprises. It is expected that she will continue to pursue her ambitions, resulting in a rise in her money.
Beginnings in Entertainment and Early Life Melissa Sue was born the younger of two girls; her family relocated from the San Francisco Bay region to Los Angeles when she was young, but when she was 13, her parents divorced, and her Roman Catholic mother primarily reared her.
Her teacher encouraged her parents to locate an agent for her while she was attending dancing courses, which led to her appearing in various advertisements, including Mattel and Sears commercials.
Soon after that, she started getting offers for television jobs, including as a guest in an episode of “Bewitched”. She also played Millicent, a girl who kissed Bobby in “The Brady Bunch,” and she appeared in an episode of “Shaft” the same year.
These eventually led to her landing a role in “Little House on the Prairie,” which she would work on for the following eight years, with the tale centered on a farm family in the 1870s and 1880s.
Melissa Sue won a nomination the following year for her role in the horror film “Happy Birthday to Me” after leaving “Little House on the Prairie” after the seventh season. She then appeared in films such as “The Equalizer,” “Murder, She Wrote,” and “CHiPs.” She also experimented in production as an associate producer on a 1990 television episode of “Where Pigeons Go to Die,” Michael Landon’s final film. She was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame in 1998 and starred in the ill-fated television sitcom “Partners” the following year.
In the latter phases of her career, she did a very little acting. In the 2006 miniseries “10.5 Apocalypse,” she played First Lady Megan Hollister, one of her final television performances. She has appeared in several short films and played Stosh’s mother in the uncredited role of “Veronica Mars” in 2014. “The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House” was her autobiography based on her experience as a child star, and it includes behind-the-scenes stories about cast members, guests, and crew.
The family moved to Montreal in 2002 and became naturalized Canadians five years later on Canada Day. According to sources, she has primarily abandoned her acting career to be a stay-at-home mom and care for her family. During the fourth season of “Little House on the Prairie,” she stated that one of her most difficult roles was when her character went blind.
