I had the pleasure of attending the kickoff of Alison Arngrim's latest Confessions of a Prairie Bitch tour at NYC's the Cutting Room on Sunday, and let me tell you — I think she proved once and for all that Nellie Olesen was the true heroine of Little House on the Prairie! She certainly continued to prove herself to be a witty, worldly woman who is more than willing to revisit the character she made famous, all the while exposing just as much of her own interesting self.
“Any idiot can be liked. It takes talent to scare the crap out of people.” — Alison Arngrim
Alison is 63 now, but grew up before the eyes of the world playing a child villain on the wholesome series, which — if she and her stories about other cast members are anything to go by — might be the series whose cast's personalities least resembled those of the characters they played. Nellie wasn't nasty, Mary wasn't so angelic (or blind), and Mrs. Olesen was into Eastern spirituality.
If only this meant that Albert were gay.
