Alison Arngrim of "Little House on the Prairie"

Nellie Oleson of Little House on the Prairie

I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the iconic characters of my childhood. She was the bully that you loved to hate and she played it so well! Nellie Oleson was a very polarizing character on Little House on the Prairie and was constantly giving Laura a reason to punch her! You’ll be happy to know that they were friends behind the scenes and in her new book, “Confessions of a Prairie B;+@H” she gives behind the scenes looks at the show plus her favorite episode, which incidentally is also mine! She has a whole chapter about it in the book…the wheelchair episode! Remember that one?

Here is my full interview w/Alison Arngrim, better known as Nellie Oleson.
