They most commonly end up working \u2018normal\u2019 jobs, even if they\u2019re recognized from time to time for the role they delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Yet there are also those whose star potential is fully realized. You know the ones: the children who plant their flag through an eye-catching first performance, only to go from strength to strength thereafter. Melissa Gilbert is undeniably in the second category. In 1974, at the tender age of nine, Melissa starred as Laura Ingalls for the first time in the smash-hit Little House on the Prairie.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Little House on the Prairie 1974 - 1983 Opening and Closing Theme  (With Snippet) Blu-ray\" width=\"790\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MawR-tA61dM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Impressive as her landing of the role was, she couldn\u2019t have imagined the level of stardom and fame it would propel her towards. Nor the immense reach and popularity the show would end up having across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Little House on the Prairie, boasting the likes of Michael Landon and Karen Grassle, ran for a total of nine seasons, and took the young Melissa Gilbert to dizzying heights she couldn\u2019t have dreamed of.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa was just a child when she landed her defining role, playing Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. Filming the show between the ages of eight and 18, she literally grew up on set, and the experience changed her life, including giving her a father figure in her on-screen dad Michael Landon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved my job from the get go,\u201d she told Parade. \u201cI certainly enjoyed being on the set of Little House on the Prairie. It was a great place to grow up if you are a child performer, and was fun and amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a strange thing, watching a child star develop into an adult, following their career as we quite literally follow the growth of their lives.
