Life
Anderson showed high intelligence even as a young girl, which resulted in her being allowed to graduate from high school early. At the urging of a dance instructor, who saw a promising talent in Anderson, her parents hired an agent for their daughter. The demand was great and after a few commercials and guest appearances (including in 1973 in Three Girls and Three Boys ) Michael Landon hired her for his series Our Little Farm . Anderson was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1978 for her performance in the double episode in which Mary Ingalls , played by her, went blind .
After leaving the series, the actress worked in many other series and films, with which, however, she was unable to build on the success of the Little Farm . In 1979 she received an Emmy Award for her role in Which Mother Is Mine? . In the same year she had a guest role in the series Love Boat and was seen in 1981 in the horror film From Into Eternity with Glenn Ford . In 2006 she took on a role in the television production 10.5 - Apocalypse .
Melissa Sue Anderson has been married to producer and screenwriter Michael Sloan since 1990, with whom she has two children. The family has lived in Montreal since 2002 and has been a Canadian citizen since 2007.
