“The Miracle Worker” (and more) with Melissa Gilbert

Laura Ingalls may be the role that Melissa Gilbert is best known for, but her portrayal of Helen Keller in 1979’s The Miracle Worker is what she is still — 43 years later — the proudest of. Join us as we chat with our friend Melissa about the intensity of the preparation, the crazy filming experience, and the emotions that came with the movie’s release (grab a tissue for the Michael Landon story). And don’t worry, she’s also sharing fun Little House memories as well as telling us the heartwarming story of introducing her granddaughter to Laura. We’re also playing another GenX Q&A game with her, because of course we are. Which Charlie’s Angel would she be? What’s her favorite roller skating song? And what did she really think of those first episodes with Almanzo?Check out Melissa’s new brand Modern Prairie hereFollow PCPS on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTokBecome a supporter of the PCPS on Patreon.
