A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Way I See It is more than a Hollywood tell-all. It is more than the story of a young woman - the only actor in the Little House series to be nominated for or to win an Emmy - who chose a different path than many other child actors. Ultimately, this heartfelt memoir is the story of what it was like to be one of television's most beloved child stars growing up on one of television's most beloved series. Key Selling Points: * Viewers loved and still love Little House on the Prairie, which is still syndicated all over the world. The book will appeal to those who watched and remember the series when it first aired and to a younger audience discovering it for the first time. * The Way I See It is the first book to share Melissa Anderson's memories of Little House, Michael Landon, and the world of television where she came of age and made the decisions that changed her life. * Unlike many memoirs by former child actors that focus on addictions and personal problems,The Way I See It goes behind the scenes of the show that made Melissa's career. It brings the reader into the actual making of the episodes remembered by so many. But it also tells the story of how a successful adult and actress grew up from the imaginary childhood she experienced on screen.

Biographie de l'auteur

Few television stars of the 1970s were as high-profile as MELISSA ANDERSON of Little House on the Prairie. Melissa's career began when she was only 9. Her big break came when her agent landed her an audition for a pioneer westernA" that turned out to be Michael Landon's Little House on the Prairie. Michael Landon selected her to play his first girlfriend in The Loneliest Runner, the 1976 television movie based on his life. After her contract expired in 1981, Melissa chose to leave the series and continued acting in television shows, such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Murder She Wrote, Aaron Spelling's Dark Mansions, An Innocent Love, First Affair and as Edward Woodward's daughter in The Equalizer. Her feature films include Dead Men Don't Die and the horror classic Happy Birthday to Me. Melissa was the associate producer for Where Pigeons Go to Die (1990), one of the last two TV projects Michael Landon made before his death. She and her husband, Equalizer creator Michael Sloan, whom she met when she appeared on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, have two children.
