This 70's child actress once starred on a beloved American Western drama television series. On Tuesday, the 60-year-old star looked unrecognizable while attending a press event for the revival of the play Still, in an Off-Broadway theater in New York City.
The entertainer, who ditched Hollywood for a more quiet life on a farm, looked stylish in a floral dress paired with a red velvet blazer. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a chic updo, and she accessorized with a number of jewelry pieces. She opted for light makeup to highlight her features, and completed the look with a pair of brown boots.

That's right, it's Little House on the Prairie alum Melissa Gilbert. She starred as Laura Ingalls Wilder on the popular TV show from 1974 until 1983, appearing in over 200 episodes. In September, it was announced that Gilbert will guest star in a Hallmark series, nearly 11 years after leaving Hollywood to embrace life on a farm.
The actress will appear in a two-episode arc in the upcoming 12th season of When Calls The Heart, premiering in 2025. Her character, Georgie McGill, will share 'a surprising past with one special Hope Valley resident,' according to a press release. Gilbert's cameo is also tied to Little House on the Prairie, as When Calls the Heart's executive producer is Michael Landon Jr., son of late Michael Landon, who played Pa on the iconic family show.
