'Little House on the Prairie': Melissa Gilbert Described One of Her Co-Stars as 'Evil': 'I Hate Her and She Hates Me Too'

While filming Little House on the Prairie, two of the cast mates from the Ingalls family could never seem to get along. Behind the scenes, Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson were enemies from day one. The actors (who portray Laura Ingalls and Mary Ingalls, respectively) had a bit of an off-screen rivalry going on whenever the cameras stopped rolling. And at one point, Gilbert went so far as to call her on-screen sister “evil.”

Mary Ingalls actor didn’t try to make friends with any of her ‘Little House on the Prairie’ co-stars

According to the show’s stars, Anderson had no intentions of making any life-long friendships while starring on Little House on the Prairie. She was simply there for a paycheck, and she’d often ignore the other girls on the series when they’d try to approach her.

“Melissa Sue wasn’t eager to make friends,” writes Alison Arngrim in her tell-all memoir, Confessions of a Prairie B*tch. (Arngrim plays Nellie Oleson on the series.) “Melissa Sue Anderson continued to remain a mystery,” she continues. “The entire time I was on the show, I never went to her house, and she never came to mine. I had no idea where she lived. For all I know, she could have lived in a tree.”

As Arngrim reveals, Anderson would spend most of her days ignoring her fellow cast mates. Even when Arngrim would throw her a cheery, “Good morning!” Anderson would just scowl at her in response.

According to Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls on the show, she believed Anderson to be “evil.”

On Arngrim’s first day on set, Gilbert told her to “watch out” for Anderson.

“I honestly do not have a lot of memories of the two of us,” she said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We were very, very different.”
