Nellie Olesen is Back!

2006_05_arts_nellie.jpgRemember that 'lil bully Nellie Oleson? Yeah you do. She resided on the prairie, her parents owned a general store and she was the richest kid in the village with a pretty serious mean streak. Well, she grew up and lives in the future now with the rest of us...as a comic!

That's right, Nellie (Alison Arngrim in "real life") is a comic, and ready to give us some storytelling and stand-up about her life as pre-teen meanie in Confessions of a Prairie Bitch. She'll let some secrets loose about "Little House on the Prairie", Hollywood and whatever else happened in her former child star life. Vh1 should totally do a "Behind the Petticoat and Ringlets" special.

May 12th and 13th // 8pm // The Cutting Room [19 West 24th] // $20

Actually, in later seasons of "LHOTP" Nellie outgrew her brattiness and became a rather likeable person.

The episode where she pretended to be paralyzed and went nuts at the end of the episode and broke stuff was priceless.

This girl reminds me of the movie 'The Bad Seed' from 1956. One of the scariest movies from that era.

One of my favorite episodes is when Laura pushes you on your wheelchair down the hill into the creek. You both always played your parts well. Do you still keep in contact with the cast of Little House and is the person who played Mrs. Oleson(Katherine MacGregor)still alive?
When will you be playing your act in Los Angeles clubs again and do you ever play in Phoenix Arizona?
