Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Alison Arngrim, the actress known around the world as Nellie Oleson on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, on taking to social media to entertain LITTLE HOUSE fans with live daily readings of the entire series of Laura Ingalls Wilder books, from start to finish (and how other LITTLE HOUSE cast members are joining in on the fun); why she is particularly identifying with the Charles Ingalls character as she revisits the books; and how the Nellie Oleson character was actually based on three different people. All of Alison’s daily readings of the LITTLE HOUSE books are available for free at Facebook.com/Alison.Arngrim. Alison will also perform a livestream digital version of her one-woman show, CONFESSIONS OF A PRAIRIE TERROR, from her home on Saturday 5/9 and 5/16. For more information on how to catch that event, go to SpinCycleNYC.com
