Melissa Sue Anderson

As a young girl, Melissa Sue Anderson was already in front of the camera, modeling for Mattel and Sears in a few commercials. Her parents were then convinced to hire an agent that would manage her acting career and soon, she appeared in an episode of Bewitched and The Brady Bunch. However, she is best known for her credit role as Mary Ingalls in NBC’s The Little House on the Prairie.

For films, she rose to fame after working in Midnight Offerings, Which Mother Is Mine?, and Happy Birthday to Me. In 1990, Melissa married Michael Sloan, who is a television writer and producer, famous for The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew Mysteries, The Equalizer, and more. The couple is blessed with two kids, Piper and Griffin, who are now both grown-ups today. As their children also hold immense beauty like their mother, they have all the right to join the entertainment industry as true celebrity royalties.
