Alison Arngrim is most recognized for her iconic character of Nellie Oleson on
the 9 year hit series "Little House on the Prairie." When asked about the
public's response to her famous alter-ego, Alison says "Someone has called me a
bitch to my face every single day of my life since I was 11 years old." Her New
York Times best selling memoirs, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived
Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated," was listed as one of the best TV
Books on Amazon and #2 in Kindle e.books (Nonfiction/Arts &
Entertainment/Television). In her book, she discusses the difficulties of fame
at an early age, being born into a family of successful entertainers and how the
role of "Nellie Oleson" saved her life by helping her overcome an abusive
childhood marked by physical violence and incest. Alison tours internationally
with her one woman show, "Confessions of A Prairie Bitch" performing to sold out
crowds from Los Angeles and San Francisco, to New York and Paris. In light of
her childhood experiences, Alison has accepted the role of activist, serving as
Board Member and Spokesperson for The National Association to Protect Children
(PROTECT.org). Alison recently testified before the CA State Senate in support
of Senate Bill 145 by Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), which would raise the
maximum penalty for the most egregious child pornography offenders. Her
compelling testimony helped to secure the votes necessary to pass the
legislation. Official
