On September 26, 1962, Melissa Sue Anderson was born in Berkeley, California, in the United States.

She is an actress best remembered for her role as Mary Ingalls in the late 1970s and early 1980s television series ‘Little House on the Prairie.’

Although Melissa Sue’s exact net worth is unknown, it was projected to be $1.5 million as of late 2018.

This resulted from her lucrative acting career, which included several TV shows and movies. When Melissa Sue was a little child,

her family relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles, which is when she began her career in entertainment.

After her parents separated when she was thirteen, her mother, a Roman Catholic, reared her most of the time.

Her dance instructor advised her to look for an agent while she was taking classes. As a result, Melissa Sue started to show up in commercials for Mattel and Sears.

She had offers for TV shows, such as a cameo in ‘The Brady Bunch’ and ‘Bewitched.’ Her part in ‘Little House on the Prairie’ finally resulted from these opportunities.

Her appearance in the horror movie ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ got her a nomination after she left the show in its seventh season.

Later, Melissa Sue had appearances in television programs such as CHiPs, The Equalizer, and Murder, She Wrote.

She experimented with production as well, serving as an assistant producer on a TV show in 1990.

She starred in the TV sitcom ‘Partners’ the next year after being elected into the Western Performers Hall of Fame in 1998.

She did less acting as her career progressed; one of her final TV appearances was in the miniseries ‘10.5 Apocalypse’ from 2006.

She played an uncredited part in ‘Veronica Mars’ in 2014. In her autobiography, ‘The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House,’ Melissa Sue shared intimate details from her behind-the-scenes experiences.

In 2002, the family relocated to Montreal, and in 2007, they obtained Canadian citizenship. In order to care for her family and become a stay-at-home mother, Melissa Sue took a break from acting.

She stated in an interview that playing her character’s blindness in the fourth season of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ was one of her most difficult jobs.
