Publisher Description
Confessions of a Prairie Bitch is Alison Arngrim’s comic memoir of growing up as one of television’s most memorable characters—the devious Nellie Oleson on the hit television show Little House on the Prairie. With behind-the-scenes stories from the set, as well as tales from her bohemian upbringing in West Hollywood and her headline-making advocacy work on behalf of HIV awareness and abused children, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch is a must for fans of everything Little House: the classic television series and its many stars like Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert; Gilbert’s bestselling memoir Prairie Tale... and, of course, the beloved series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder that started it all.
Customer Reviews
Love this book
I knew I connected with that little brat!
Prairie perspective
I once loved to hate Alison’s portrayal of Nellie Oleson and grew up watching all of Little House on the Prairie so I knew this would be an interesting take on Alison’s time on the show. Her no-holds-barred accounts of her time off-screen with family and cast members gave a well-rounded look into her life and I’m glad I read it.
Brilliant and Moving
I laughed out loud repeatedly. Allison has made sense out of her crazy life and it is a treat to read how she has done it. Very entertaining and meaningful!
