[@renatewoerner6341]

Yes extremely sad when people change to please the public. She used to be very pretty but then she looked weird after all her crap she did. I am glad she is now not doing anything more and has removed her fake boobs.

[@memessweett4005]

I have been watching Melissa my whole life. I'm almost 46 and I am happy to hear that she is gonna age naturally because most of us ladies will have to or at least I know I will. Choosing between Botox and fillers vs. getting groceries and paying bills is what it would boil down to for me. I had skin cancer removed from my nose and skin grafted so I'm already self conscious of my scaring . I will say though if I could afford it I would have Botox between my eyebrows because that is where the skin was grafted from and I always feel like I'm frowning or that I look angry . We all Have things we wish were different about ourselves but what it boils down to for me is the kind of person I am on the inside (my spirt ... my soul) I always try to be a good person .

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Meme's Sweet T We'll see if she perseveres, as visual is a huge part of Hollywood and no one comes away as natural for too long. She still young enough to get away with it.

[@pearlford8341]

Meme's Sweet T. Botox.fillers and whatever else are absolutely horrid i can honestly say i will never ridicule myself. I would rather look bit wrinkly an natural than a freak waking u every morning thinking what have i done to myself. CREEPY 👾👾

[@patriciaclements9457]

Good for you. Just don't forget to moisturize. That is OK. I am 73, and like Melissa, surgeries have taken their toll, but my face, neck, and chest are still relatively unwrinkled. I've used Vaseline for 45 years (plus other stuff now). No, I don't look 40, but skin health is extremely important as our first defense against disease. Back to Melissa, I knew when she was a child that she would be a beauty; who could not know. I watched her TV career with interest thereafter. She has done well for herself and is a good actor. While I loved the red hair, as a now grey red head myself, I love her beautiful natural look as well. Doesn't she look great, healthy, and happy?

[@md8465]

Why not both? Improve your inner and outer self. I am all for it.

[@md8465]

Some people overdo it because they have a lot of money. I only have enough for one syringe so I look good and not overdone.

[@icecastles1432]

Kathryn Hepburn was just herself throughout the years and thought she was always glowing and beautiful , not to mention smart.

[@melindanash9990]

So very true.

[@peggysullivan5396]

She was t herself she was A hidden lesbian who couldn’t be who she was they say she never wore makeup was very masculine and wore very short hair and when she went to studios they dolled her up making her look more feminine then Hollywood ties her up with Spencer Tracy which they were not really a couple she liked women so really how much was she her true self ? They wouldn’t allow it

[@lisadiconti]

Well, this is her. I like that she's being herself.

[@tyroneaugustine229]

Time flies don't it???

[@Springtime101]

Everytime I see Melissa, it's like I'm instantaneously teleported in the past, back in my elementary years. I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie. So seeing her gives me mixed emotions. I get a little happy, sad, nostalgic.......and I can't help thinking what and how life used to be --- simple, everyone's young and energetic, I usually come home from school to a full of life family.......... I really missed those years and I treasure them so much. ♥♥♥

[@ALEXMGFASHION]

I used to watch the show when I was a little girl, every day after school never lost an episode! I loved her character so much!

[@RubberWilbur]

so why did Gilbert defend Roman Polaski while she was cohosting the view. She said that the 13 year old who Roman assaulted was not as bad because the "mom was in the building". My mouth dropped when I heard her say this.

[@justmissy7415]

So much love to her for being exactly who she always has been, and still is, which is lovely. ❤

[@singers333]

Wanting to go natural now is strength in a world where everyone around you is pushing you no to.. you go Melissa..and thank you for all the years of happiness you gave us watching you on Little House..never tire of it.

[@franlooving4203]

Anne Harp: and I also love her movies from the 90s, etc. Another favorite is Sylvester from 1985 or so. She is a treasure.

[@rickm2608]

I love this woman! Not because of Little House, but for all the things she did afterwards. She is a TREMENDOUS actress!

[@TK-ij2xi]

It's so weird, I can see she's aged...but she's forever young to me? Like even with wrinkles & gray she's forever Laura Ingalls, young Laura Ingalls.

[@lisadiconti]

That's how I feel about myself and my own age group. I see us all as still in highschool on the inside. My 90 year old grandmother said the same thing about herself and her friends in the old folks home. lol

[@Huffdanny-p2n]

Hi Mary hope you’re okay?

[@ScottJ5860]

Our culture spends so much time trying to stop aging rather than embracing the wisdom that can only come from aging

[@susancinek5803]

in my early 60s I had both hips replaced. These were the only surgeries I have had. I cannot imagine having surgery just for vanity unless a true deformity exists. I am so proud of Melissa for saying no more! It is the beauty from within that counts the most. I love what the Bible says " Beauty is vain, charm is deceitful, but the woman who trusts in the Lord shall be praised above them all. Wow, that is so freeing to me!

[@sheer9568]

Melissa, always be true to yourself. Never again lose yourself to something that is so unreal.

[@nancybreshears6456]

As a fan of Ms. Gilbert, I was disappointed that she never came out against the backlash levelled on Laura Ingalls Wilder in 2018 for some so-called racial slurs from her Little House books. It was a different time period. Ms. Wilder lived through the American Indian Wars. Ms. Wilder should be honored for contributions to American Literature and her award should be reinstated.

[@nikiannecoleman]

Nancy Breshears I agree.

[@dillyho]

Please. She’s an actress and it was a job. I’m sure shes expected to talk about the job she held as a teenager way more than you’d ever talk about the one you had when you were 17. Do you put on your old Dairy Queen visor every time there’s an undercooked patty somewhere in town? She has done way more than her share of press junkets and talk shows for Little House. She portrayed the author as a girl and then a teenager. She didn’t write the books. She isn’t Laura. She’s an actress.

[@julieanne2648]

Just think if plastic surgery, fillers, botox, etc. didn't exist.... Wonder how everyone would 'really' look. Would be quite interesting...

[@Cinder1987]

I'm so glad Melissa got rid of her breast implants. They are not good for women. I'v heard a lot of disaster stories about breast implants.

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

Why put something in your body that's not supposed to be there in the first place? It's alright if you need it.

[@KlassyKat45]

Hollywood is finicky and cruel...especially to women. There's a double standard for women and men. Mary McDonough who played Erin in the Waltons got breast implants which leaked and she got Lupus from that along with some other health issues. We love Melissa the way she is.

[@ukmedicfrcs]

It's very comforting to watch shows like Little house and the Walton's.

[@mperry1329]

I like that Melissa Gilbert speaks openly about her feelings about the way Hollywood and society places on women to look good. I am 51 and I am seeing the changes in my body and my face. I am no longer slim as I was when I was 31 and had thick long hair and now it has thinned out and I do feel a little uncomfortable when I go out in the public, but I will learn to accept myself the way I am and this was a good commentary from Melissa Gilbert, so I will just learn from what she said. All of the comments on this board are great to read, so Bless you all for your comments.

[@courtdash362]

She has a Diane Keaton kind of vibe now. Good for her. I always couldn’t scratch my head over how she ended up with dating Rob Lowe for awhile but I think her beauty is glowing from the inside which makes her more attractive.

[@cf8959]

When “Little House” first came on tv, I was pregnant with my first child. But, even as an adult, I loved her show. I envied the childhood that “Laura” had. Even though I was very happily married, I had a beast of a father. I envied her having such an amazing father, even though it was on tv. You rock, Melissa!

[@luvsnursing9946]

[@LevitesInAlaska]

Thank you for being transparent, honest and bold Melissa!!! Love you and Little House on the Prairie ❤

[@tinaloveseddie]

I don’t think it’s so much her plastic surgery.... it’s more of a makeup/hairstyle/ wardrobe thing. A nice nude lipstick, easy on the blush, younger hairstyle, jeans, graphic tee with a chill faux leather pink moto jacket, a nice pair of open toe heels.😘👌

[@celestialcircledance]

I love her silky bob with the white streak but your right its not a young look . Does the goel always have to be to be frozen at twenty though which only really works anyway when viewed from afar ? Mature sometimes can be classy and timeless as opposed to frumpy and matronly .

[@celestialcircledance]

Dyed to cover up the grey for sure .light , long is the current thinking , playful layers or fringes . Think Suzanne Somers .

[@grational]

Yikes- Y'all will buy anything. She decided to go natural right after the work last done to her cheeks and jaw. You can't pull on the forehead the same way. She is full of botox too and uses e/t she can. She has pancake make-up on so all those who say age does not matter can say how great she looks for her age. She is just referring to not going 'full Cher' or even the thing formerly known as Kidman.

[@DianeHughes45]

@@grational funny you brought up Nicole Kidman; last night I saw her in a commercial for Oil of Olay and I kept thinking how ironic it was because she gets botox, fillers, lasers and chemical peels all the time! If a reputable cosmetic company such as Oil of Olay really wants to sell their products, it would be more convincing to actually use a real person, not an actor whose has so much done to her face she's unrecognizable!

[@grational]

Diane Hughes It's sad b/c she has a natural beauty and structure that would let her age well. She was aging well. Little modifications like modest Botox, are Ok. I know women who do so only b/c I have been told. But I see women who look bloated every cycle. TV as well - Natalie Pinkham on F1 Sky. It is a shame. It's a spectrum but to many of these people just look unnatural. We all understand the disproportionate demands of women to adhere to standards (their own, others incl. other women that's embedded in culture and commercially supported) I've aged and I get less looks ( a guy I assume you know), but you have to really take care of yourself in mind, body, diet, and routine and not base you expectations on media. You can see the difference, and feel it within. That was longer than I expected.

[@LilliR4116]

Good for Melissa, I congratulate her for being modest and honest. She has finally accepted herself, feels comfortable in her own skin and therefore doesn't need anyone telling her what she needs to look like. This is an example of a classic true beauty!! 👍

I watch this, maybe the makeup or mannerisms, I can see her playing Laura Bush as an actress from interviews I saw of the former First Lady. I’ve always been a fan of Melissa. Very well spoken!

[@LM-mr3fd]

Oddly, it is somewhat of a relief for me to hear her acknowledge her nose job. It was obvious when she did it but it was at a time when most people didn't admit to getting work done. It kind of made me sad that she felt the need to do it as she was already beautiful with her 'natural' nose. The fact that so much pressure was placed on her and other actors to look a certain way is extremely maddening. I'm so glad that she has gotten to a place of self-acceptance and that she has made a conscious choice to embrace her natural beauty. Personally, I think that her desire to be authentic and her newfound stance against cosmetic procedures only enhances her obvious beauty. Kudos Melissa Gilbert! I'm so happy for you

[@saltwatercb]

Am I the only one who thinks it's a tad ironic that Megyn Kelly is handling this discussion, given that she herself represents both the type of beauty and age-defying ideal that women are encouraged to pursue? Maybe Kelly is just genetically blessed, clean-living, and has not resorted to Botox, etc., but she looks about 32 or 33 (she'll be 48 in November). She's actually only six years younger than Gilbert, but one wouldn't likely guess that given their current appearances. I scrolled through probably two hundred comments and was surprised to not see any regarding this angle.

[@mb-vf3qb]

Everyone making comments about plastic surgery. Why do YOU care so much about what someone does with their body? That negativity is exactly why women feel pressured to look a certain way. Why are women so mean to each other? We all struggle with the same issues. I am almost 6ft tall and thin with a big chest and a small waist and i get accused of having some type of plastic surgery just about everyday from a female with low self esteem and its very sad. I wish we could just support each other. I tell women everyday that theyre beautiful.

Great interview. I love Melissa Gilbert. She seems like a great person & she’s one amazing actress. I’ve watched little house on the prairie since I was a young kid, I’m now pushing 25. Still watch the reruns. Her message is a good one. She looks great still. It’s a shame there’s so much pressure to look perfect. To add to her message there’s tons of easy cheap ways to look youthful & anti age WITHOUT plastic surgery. Eating a healthy diet, drinking lots of water, getting occasional exercise, sleeping 8hrs a night, not smoking, wearing sunscreen daily, different makeup techniques & following an anti aging skincare routine. All those things do wonders & are natural. Of course there’s no shame in Botox. But I totally agree with her on the breast implants. Nothing good comes from them. Such a waste of time, money, pain & risks. You require replacements every 10-15yrs, risks of rupture, rippling, displacements, incapacitated implants etc. plus the unknown & possible danger of breast cancer & breast implant illness.

Hi Deborah hope you’re okay?

To Melissa Gilbert: I just want to say the natural, authentic you was apparent even as a young kid. Your acting was natural (not over done) on Little House. As an adult, rewatching the show again, I was impressed by your acting talent. They did a good job choosing you for the role of Laura Ingalls. I’m sorry you went through some rough periods. I appreciate you being so honest now. Thank you from women around the world.

Hey girl thank God it's Friday

she's in her mid 50s...she'll find herself aging much faster now. i am just an every day person and i looked good until my mid-50s and then started aging much more rapidly, as i fully expected. the difference between 22 and 32 is less than the difference between 52 and 62.

and don't give me a song and dance about genetics.

[@failyourwaytothetop]

Absolutely. I've always said that 50 is the end of Stage 2. That's from 25 to 50. Stage 3 from 50 to 75 begins an accelerated decline into physical disfigurement. It's as if the person is rotting physically, a type of decomposition yet alive. The external deterioration is rapid and obvious. Good comment. The only exception I will make are those 50 plus , 60 plus women who are bodybuilders. They will also physically decline but at least they will maintain muscle mass and still emanate sexual appeal. They won't have those sagging arms with that stretched out flaccid flab which just pains anyone to view.

@@failyourwaytothetop : wow! you loathe women don't you?

[@failyourwaytothetop]

@@nowvoyagerNE Loathing? No. It equally applies to men also. It is simply a fact. There is physical deterioration past 60. It is inevitable. The epidermis becomes flaccid, clammy. It loses elasticity. It becomes dry and cracked. We all become unrecognizable. My mother knew this fact and admitted to it. Accept it yourself. It is a false belief that past 60, 70 etc that women retain their youthful appearance. We must accept the fact. Is it sentimentality that causes many to falsely claim beauty where it dosen't exist?

I'm glad to finally get to see this interview, it was preempted in my timezone. If she doesn't feel badly about her hair turning gray then maybe I will finally not feel so bad about mine turning gray either! I have seen her several times over the years during her 'Little House' days and she seemed very down to earth even back then. I'm glad she's not letting anything or anyone change her. Be who you are "Half Pint".
