Melissa Gilbert left her life in the spotlight of Los Angeles for a quiet life in the Catskills.
She lives in a cottage with her husband, Tim Busfield.
The couple had to clean off mice and mold before they could call it home.
Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls in “Little House on the Prairie,” has been living a quiet life out of the Hollywood limelight with her husband, Timothy Busfield.
The couple’s paths crossed when they least expected it; both Gilbert and Busfield went to the same bar but were looking for different things. The actor and director said he wanted a solo night at the bar, watch sports, and eat pizza with beer.
But to his surprise, he found Gilbert sitting in his seat. He did not have the courage to speak to her since he had been out of the dating scene for a while. Even the “Little House on the Prairie” star said she did not usually go to bars alone, but she was out with a friend, and they had gone to that bar while they waited for the place they wanted to go to open.
