A couple of items to add to the site.
You can ask Melissa! Melissa is currently writing a new book, specifically to do with her time on Little House.
There is a unique chance to send in a question for Melissa to put in the book. Please note the following important information:1) This is not going to gain a reply via email from Melissa. It is purely a fact gathering exercise for FAQ (Frequently asked questions). So please, do not take offence if your email isn't answered.
2) By sending in a question, there is also no guarantees it would be used in the book. It is more likely the more unusual or common the question, it will get used.
3) Please do not bombard with so many questions that it becomes a ridiculous number. A few is fine, but we just ask that a little care is given to the numbers, because otherwise they are not likely to even be looked at.
4) To send the question, the email address is: FAQ4halfpint@aol.com (For spam reasons this is not a clickable link) Please include your name and State (or country).
We hope your question is one of the lucky ones

There are internet comments going around that Melissa has been offered a role in the new series of Dallas. While it is true Melissa has auditioned for a role, currently no decision has been made about who will play the character. We will announce here if she does indeed get the role.
A very short message from Melissa to the fans.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and heartfelt messages. They really do mean a lot. Not just to me but Bruce and the boys too.

Bruce and Melissa split.
We are confirming that the news report on Bruce and Melissa's split is accurate.
While there is bound to be speculation as to what has happened, there will be no more comment at the moment and Melissa and Bruce have asked for privacy at this time.
We will of course update with any news that might be released in the future about this.
In the meantime, our thoughts are with them both.

Musical rehearsals have begun. Also - Actress Melissa Gilbert recently joined Habitat for Humanity New York City to build a co-op apartment in the South Bronx.
Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls in the T.V. version of “Little House on the Prairie”, will star as Ma Ingalls in a live musical adaptation of Little House, which begins a 34-week, 25-city tour in October.
Gilbert’s work in the Bronx is part of a deal made by the cast and crew to help local Habitat for Humanity affiliates build homes on each stop of the tour. The show will also donate $1,500 to each local Habitat chapter along the way.
Habitat for Humanity chief Jonathan Reckford said the struggles of the fictional Ingalls family in difficult conditions parallel challenges many families face today.

Message from Melissa after the sad death of Farrah Fawcett.
"As a little girl, I wanted to be Farrah. Several years ago I worked with her and I wanted to protect Farrah because she seemed to me, like a wounded bird. Over the past few years, Farrah has shown herself to be a lioness, with beauty, strength and courage that I will admire always.
My family sends our love and sympathy to Ryan, Redmond and Farrah’s beloved father."Little House on the Prairie The Musical. To find out more about the show tour, check out the official web site - Click here for more
