‘Little House on the Prairie’: Melissa Gilbert Throwback
While Melissa Gilbert and the rest of the Little Hosue on the Prairie cast get ready for their game show night, she has shared some great throwback posts in recent days. One of those posts features her along with two other stars of the past. Through the 1970s and 80s, Gilbert was a huge star. She became a cultural icon during this time for her work as Laura Ingalls. So, it was no surprise that she represented her station, NBC back in the 1980s.
In one of those classic Battle of the Network Stars Gilbert was a representative for NBC. During the competition, she was hanging out with a couple of other stars. Who else but Lee Majors and Howard Cosell. Cosell was a feature on Monday Night Football for a time. Of course, everyone knows Majors for his work on television.
Now, the Little House on the Prairie star looked like she was worn out. Those battles got pretty heated and the athletic competitions were no jokes. Perhaps she will win the upcoming battle on Stars in the House?
