Melissa Gilbert's Life Laid Out In Autobiography 'Prairie Tale'

Actress Melissa Gilbert stopped by the studio to talk about her new autobiography Prairie Tale: A Memoir.

"She was a natural on camera, but behind the scenes, life was more complicated. Adopted as a baby into a legendary show business family, Melissa wrestled with questions about her identity and struggled to maintain an image of perfection her mother created and enforced. Only after years of substance abuse, dysfunctional relationships, and made-for-television movies did she begin to figure out who she really was," according to Amazon.com

Fans will remember Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls on the hit television show Little House on the Prairie. She later served as president of the Screen Actors Guild for two terms.

Prairie Tale: A Memoir is available in stores now.
