Alison Arngrim

Here is a picture of Alison Arngrim when I saw her perform in 2005. ( I was very pregnant at the time, so I look nothing like this now.)

Nice!

Wow! I'm really jealous, since you could meet Alison. She is one of my favorite actress in LHOTP.

And you looks awesome.

Vanesa.

Very nice. Lucky you!

Love the pic!

I also took a picture with her when I saw her show in Hollywood... but I lost it when my laptop crashed!

That's not good.

Alison will be in Sacramento today (she's on her way as I type this). I just got this through her FB page:

SACRAMENTO — Alison Arngrim, who as a child in the 1970s and early 1980s played the part of Nellie Oleson on the television show, “Little House on the Prairie,” will testify at the California State Capitol on Tuesday about the lasting effects of sexual exploitation. Arngrim has spoken publicly in recent years about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child. On Tuesday, she will speak in support of Senate Bill 145 by Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), which would raise the maximum penalty for egregious child pornography offenders.

“As a survivor of child sexual abuse myself, one of the things I am grateful for is that there was no Internet when I was a child,” Arngrim said. “Even though I will live with my trauma for the rest of my life, at least I do not have to suffer having my pain, degradation and humiliation re-run endlessly on a loop worldwide for sadists’ amusement.”

Arngrim is now a board member for Protect, a national organization dedicated to protecting children. She will be joined at an Assembly Public Safety Committee hearing by Manuel Vega, a retired peace officer and victim advocate, and Dawn Woswick, a survivor who discovered images of her abuse online decades after it occurred. Worswick is now a survivor advocate with California Against Slavery.

California currently has the nation’s weakest child pornography laws, and SB 145 would change that by raising the maximum penalty for the worst offenders: those with huge collections of child pornography, those with images of children forced to endure sexual sadism or masochism, and those who use images to groom children to participate in this horrible crime. The bill is sponsored by Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten and strongly supported by the California District Attorneys Association.

“Victims of child pornography suffer from this horrible crime for the rest of their lives,” Pavley said. “This bill targets the most serious predators who exploit children and fuel the market for more abuse with images of their crimes.”

The Assembly Public Safety hearing will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday Aug. 13 in the State Capitol, Room 126. Arngrim and the other abuse survivors will be available to speak with the media following their testimony.

Alison Arngrim & Eve Plumb on "Fantasy Island." Alison posted this on her FB page. I remember watching this when it first aired on prime time, and never saw it again!

I watched Fantasy Island growing up but don't remember it to be so magical. Makes me want to watch the full episode. Why hasn't this been put out there as reruns just as everything else?

I love Eve as much as Alison. I wish they were both still acting.

That's cool, you met Alison Arngrim.

it's neat that you met Alison Arngrim! I almost met her... I had tickets to meet her at a book signing at my local bookstore, but was given the wrong time for the event so I missed meeting her but I still have an autographed copy of her book!

Hey guys...FYI...Alison will be featured on Oprah's show "Where Are They Now" this Sunday night, 10pm EST on OWN (of course).  

Cool! 

Did anyone see it? I think it will be repeated a few times this week. Also featured on the same show, Christopher Atkins, Dustin Diamond, and Pat Benatar (love her!).

Here's a clip from it...nothing new from her book but nice to see her:
