Melissa Anderson Interview- part 1

Just watched this interview with Melissa Sue Anderson. She gives a lot of behind the scenes details about the show. This interview took place around 2007. She was already a middle aged woman at this time, and I’ll be darned if she didn’t still look quite spry for a lassie her age :D

To be honest, she sort of had a reputation as not being the most pleasant person to work with, and I was expecting this to show through in the interview. However, after watching it, I did not get that impression at all. She also seems to place her priority on her family life. Kudos to her.

i heard that when she was around her mo she could act stuck up but when her mom was not around then she would hang out with everyone

I think that you might be on to something there Jason. I recall hearing from others, that MSA’s mother was a typical showbiz mom, and put a lot of pressure on her.
