Actor Born: September 26, 1962 in Berkeley, CA Biography:A ballet student since grade school, Melissa Sue Anderson was 11 years old when she career-shifted from dancer to actress in the 1974 TV pilot film "Little House on The Prairie". For the next nine seasons, Melissa Sue co-starred on the "Little House" series proper as the Ingalls family's eldest daughter Mary. During this period, she won an Emmy for her performance in "Which Mother Is Mine?", a 1979 "ABC Afternoon Special" offering. To avoid confusion with "Little House" co-star Melissa Gilbert, Ms. Anderson was tagged with the nickname "Missy," a cognomen that has stuck to this day. As a youngster, Melissa Sue Anderson expressed a desire to become a film director; as an adult, she remained an actress, appearing in such efforts as "An Innocent Love" (1982), "First Affair" (1983) and "Chattanooga Choo Choo" (1984). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
