Melissa Gilbert
Up-and-coming in the field of directing children’s movies is Melissa Gilbert. The fact that she had previously portrayed Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie made her an obvious pick for the part. You decide!) that she would go on to play Caroline “Ma” Ingalls on the Broadway production of the hit television show! And she did just that! You decide! She started doing voice work for animation series like X-Men: Days of Future Past and Batman: The Animated Series as she got older in addition to working as an actress on television shows like Batman: The Animated Series.
Gilbert, who is a Democrat and hails from Michigan, ran for Congress as a Democratic candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives of the United States. She was well-liked enough to triumph in the Democratic primary election, but she was forced to withdraw from the race because of injuries to her head and neck that she had incurred in an accident in 2012. Why does she seem to be in so much discomfort? During the fourteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, Gilbert was competing, and as she was doing a dance, she slipped and struck her head. She was transported to the hospital, and thanks to everyone’s quick actions, she was able to pull through. It now appears that her injuries were more severe than was initially anticipated, which may have an effect on her political aspirations.
