    She was the most fun to listen to at the 50 year reunion. I tried to go every time she spoke. Also got to take a picture with her. She is just down-to-earth, sweet, funny hilarious and her acting was just wonderful. She brought so much joy to my life when I was 7 years old and. Here we are fifty years later and to still brings the same joy

    Allison is my favorite. Out of all of the characters, her interviews are the best!

    OMG Mrs. Olsen was the original Karen! I love how she said she was the first person to ask to see the manager.

      🙂 I haven't completed reading her book, but I love how entertaining she is. Wonderful book, but I just felt bad what she went through with her brother.

    I remember my family laughing at your expression in the 70's. You were an amazing little actress. We loved Nelly. BTW you are still adorable.

    The Actor who played Nellie’s husband died of AIDS in the 1980’s. In a time of fear and distrust, Allison was his biggest advocate and friend. Fearless. As a gay man who lived through that awful nightmare she will always hold a very special place in my heart. A true lady.❤️🙏🏿

    My mum was born in 1935 and lived on a farm through the depression. There were eight of them in an old grain shed with a lean-to built onto the side to accommodate this never ending string of babies that came along. Mum and her sisters were re-located to some beds in an old machinery shed. I always say that she grew up on the little house on the prairie LOL.

    I just have to say this when people went to the 50th. And Paid to have autographs with all the stars. I will just tell you that she only charged $10 in autograph. Compared to some people who charged seventy an Autograph... And I'm not putting down. I promise the people who charged 70. But I think it speaks volumes about her. Realizing that not everybody can afford $70. So she made it affordable for everyone which speaks a lot about her and I thought that was absolutely wonderful. It pulled it my heart strings

      Nellie was mean and spoiled. I feel like Nancy was just plain evil and, had she been an actual person, would have stayed that way.

    @princessebob Před 3 měsíci +6

    Nellie was that character we all loved to hate, which means she did a fabulous job as an actor. I loved the comeuppances she got throughout the show and equally loved that she eventually grew up and became a better person. It was a great and satisfying end to her character arc. Alison seems like a really interesting and funny person. I'd love to spend a day with her over a bottle of wine and listen to the stories.

  • @harrynac6017
    @harrynac6017 Před 4 měsíci +19

    I also had a Nellie who changed. She did this all by her self at 12, with a big Mea Culpa and the whole class as a witness. Before that I thought she was evil, but she turned out to be a nice girl. It made me think about _my_ part of being bullied, and my prejudices. That girl taught me a lot.

      @JohannaLeigh Před 3 měsíci +1

      You can "hear" her in the writing. The style is Allison.
      FYI, These days I prefer Nellie over Mary Ingalls. In real life, Melissa Anderson was more of a Nellie. Allison theorized that it had to do with Melissa Anderson having a STAGE MOTHER.

    Didn't watch when I was young, but absolutely fell in love with the show a few years ago. Nellie and Mrs Olsen MADE the show..... it's hilarious whenever their evil plans backfire.

  • @jaredjlinden
    @jaredjlinden Před 4 měsíci +9

    She’s very engaging. The “Back to School” episode is a turning point, because at that point both Nellie and Harriet made the transition from sinister to full-on comic relief. And the two actors were certainly up to the task. Nellie eating a snack while ordering Laura to beg her for forgiveness is hysterical. Because she’s so self assured and is reveling in her villainy.

    I’m watching it for the I don’t even know how many time. It’s on prime and I’m obsessed and I’m loving every minute of it. My Husband and I watched it on TV several years ago and we’re like oh I remember this when I remember that one I don’t remember this when I don’t remember that one. It’s such a brilliant show. I think every family should watch it with their children.

  • @pattybragg6093

    I would have loved to have been there. I remember her brother was on a show called The Land of the Giants...I loved that show and was so excited to find out the boy from it is her brother ...his name is Stefan Arngrim....I had such a crush on him.....I love Nellie. She was so mean, especially to Laura and Mary...But Alison is wonderful and so friendly....or so anyone who has met her has said....I noticed the look you gave Percival in the wagon and I thought it was hysterical...Just wonderful.

    I never watched little house when it was a new show. I got into it years later when they started putting it on TV As.
    Reruns. And I had to ask myself.Why didn't I watch this before.

  • @romonarussum4032
    @romonarussum4032 Před 4 měsíci +8

    I love Nellie Oleson now as an adult but I was terrified of her as a child because I had a whole group of Nellies in my school. In 2020, they all came back and apologized for treating me so badly. Of course, I didn't push any of them down a hill in a wheelchair, maybe that would have worked 😂.

      I must disagree. Mrs. Oleson never asked to see the manager. Mrs. Oleson WAS the manager (or at least she thought she was).

    Love love love this, thank you! BTW, an anagram of Arngrim is "Grim RNA." I think you were born to play a meanie. Somebody had to do it, and you were excellent! When they make new seasons of this series, please get on board and play some member of the Oleson family. You know that's what the world needs, right?

    The show has been appealing for so long for the same reason the LIW books themselves have been so popular over the decades. While fictionalized to a degree, they were based on many of the real events and people in Wilder's life. She was a real person who grew up as a child of pioneers.

    Yup we're poor, so poor in fact that when it rains outside, the house inside rains too and that's no joke! It's a lousy situation but we make it work somehow and that's Why we watch Little House On The Prairie...It gives us Hope...Hope that one day we too will be out of this bad situation. It's all we do have.
    My mom use to say that God will provide for us with a better way of life, but until then, we'll continue to watch the show and stay hopeful :)
