Melissa Sue Anderson
A Fan Tribute
Filmography Articles Links Photos Wallpapers

Melissa Sue Anderson was my favorite actress during the late 1970's and 1980's. I had a major crush on her when she was on Little House on the Prairie during the 1970's. We are both the same age. I think we were both shy and quiet. I don't personally know her, but that was my impression of her from articles. I joined her fan club in the late 1970's and received some nice thank you notes when I sent her some bells as presents. Today, Melissa is married to Michael Sloan and has two children. She is semi-retired and lives in Montreal. She has spent most of her time raising her children. Melissa is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. There are some recent articles posted on this site that describe her views on her semi-retirement. Also, the video clip from eTalk Daily is in the Filmography section. There are video clips and video captures from many of her TV and movie appearances in the Filmography section. I hope you enjoy this website. Please e-mail me with any comments or questions to Mike or my MySpace page. I am a fan of Melissa. I don't have any personal contact with her. Please don't make requests for autographs. Also, you can sign my guestbook.
