Meet the Bette Middler School of Overcompensation. That’s how shy teen Alison Arngrim overcame her shyness on the set of Little House on the Prairie – where she played Nellie Olson on screen and wanted her castmates to know that she had a big heart under all that bossy dialogue.
We loved this line: “My colleagues spoke about how nice it was that I had ‘come out of my shell.’ I learned then that people see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. It takes very little to help them along.” HaHa 🙂

The Pig Woman speaks at last.
For Lucy:
I think I understand you a little bit more every day.
