Biography for Melissa Sue Anderson

Many actresses are not like the characters they play, but Melissa Sue Anderson wasn't one of them. Melissa was born September 26, 1962 in Berkeley, California. In real life, she was very much the same as Mary Ingalls--a quiet, slightly shy girl who would rather read a book than climb a tree. Her show business career got under way when a dance teacher urged her parents to find an agent for her. She began doing TV commercials, and the blond, blue-eyed beauty was in great demand for many roles, and starred in television movies and such shows as "The Brady Bunch" (1969) and "Shaft" (1973). Melissa Sue Anderson played Mary Ingalls throughout the entire series of "Little House on the Prairie" (1974). She continues to persue an active acting career.

It is his dance teacher who is at the origin of his career. Indeed, this teacher who saw in her a great talent, convinced the parents of little Melissa to find her an agent.

She started first in advertising spots, then in a few TV movies ... before being engaged in the now very famous series to interpret the role of the older girl of Ingalls.

Melissa Sue Anderson is an American actress known for her role as Mary Ingalls in the television series "La Petite Maison in La Prairie". She was born on September 26, 1962 in Berkeley, California.

In 1974, she was chosen to play the role of Mary Ingalls in the television series "La Petite Maison in La Prairie", a role which earned her great recognition and which made her known to the general public.

After leaving "the little house in the meadow" in 1981, Anderson continued to work in the world of entertainment, appearing in films and television series.
