MELISSA GILBERT | 57

Actress, director, producer and politician, Melissa Gilbert, who many will remember for playing Laura Ingalls Wilder in the hit television series Little House on the Prairie, opened up for one interview that the surgical implants she’s had in the name of beauty really messed with her head. She said that as a young teen, people were already trying to make her appear leading lady-like, and it led her down the path of cosmetic surgery, which she now says she regrets.

Now—and much to her credit—she’s sworn off getting plastic surgery of any kind, and we’re happy for her because we think she’s beautiful and doesn’t need one anyway.From where she is now, it seems like age is just a number. As of 2020, however, Gilbert underwent a spinal surgery. Thankfully, she managed to fully recover from surgery. She might need to make a few adjustments, but healing is definitely on top of her list.
