I wish they'd stop using that picture of Melissa. There are so many other pics out there that show her true beauty, and are recent. This particular pic just isn't that great. Having said that, it's really too bad that they couldn't work through their differences. I thought their marriage would last.

Yes, there are so many more attractive pictures of her! I mean, come on!


I was hoping for a better outcome too.

That's real sad...

You would have thought if they'd been married for 16 years they might stay together...

Saw that she had actually filed and feel bad for the family, especially their son.

'Little House' star Melissa Gilbert puts Tarzana home up for sale
The ranch-style house, with five bedrooms and 4-1/2 bathrooms, is in a gated compound at the end of a cul-de-sac.



Actress Melissa Gilbert, who made her mark as a child star on "Little House on the Prairie" starting in the mid-1970s, has listed her Tarzana home for sale at $1,195,000.

The gated compound of more than a third of an acre sits at the end of a cul-de-sac. The 4,609-square-foot ranch-style house, built in 1955, includes five bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. The upstairs master suite, with vaulted ceilings and a balcony, overlooks the swimming pool. A separate 1,309-square-foot guest quarters contains open living space, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom.

Gilbert, 47, will star in the upcoming TV movie "The Christmas Pageant." She also starred on the TV show "Sweet Justice" (1994-95).

Public records show that Gilbert and her husband, actor Bruce Boxleitner, bought the property in 2005 for $1.26 million. She filed for divorce last month.

Boxleitner, 61, reprised his 1982 "Tron" roles last year in "Tron: Legacy," was a regular on "Babylon 5" (1994-98) and starred on "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" (1983-87).

Erin Pohl and Bob Pearson of Coldwell Banker Previews International, Westlake Village, are the listing agents.

Hmmm....too expensive for me.

Gee, I was thinking her house would be bigger than that.

Hmmm...I was needing a little more room than the one I actually have. I think I should but that house and move there...The only problem is that it is a little far away from my current job.

Vanesa.

Well I think It's quite a nice house...

About 10 years of pocket money saving would go into it though!!!!

I wonder if the window on the right is the one used for her bookcover. My photography brain went right to all the natural light in the room.

That would be a beautiful room for photography!


Yikes! Four and a half bathrooms! That's three and a half more than my family of eleven had when growing up!

I don't think that's the book cover Gin....I just looked at my copy and the trim is pretty dark. And there's a cabinet under that window that's not on the cover.

But yeah, I am kind of surprised about the size of the house too! I was thinking it would be bigger as well. Not that that's not plenty big, LOL, but yeah. I mean, my doctor/brother in law has a 4200 sq foot home. Considering Bruce and Melissa both have bucu bucks, this is quite modest. Although their 'guest house' is only a couple of hundred sq feet less than mine!

I love that Melissa's decor is a French country style, much like my own! Her house doesn't have an 'uppity' feel to it at all, and I love that. I wonder where she's looking to move. I hope she finds happiness....I still hurt for both her and Bruce.

I love her decorating style too. I am so clueless about those things.

I've rather evolved over the years....I started out decorating with more Victorian, then progressed to a little contemporary and decided that was totally not 'me'. Finally I've ended up with the European country/Old world vibe, and have decided it reflects 'me'. My hubby loves it too, so that's a bonus. But I have kept my bedroom with a more Victorian/Edwardian feel to it---gotta have ONE room like that! Melissa seems to have a bit of 'shabby chic' thrown in their too, which is like my sister's house. My colors are deeper than Melissa's, and Shabby chic colors are generally light and bright. I'd love a tour of her whole house!

And Cheryl, I love your house! I always love your Christmas decor!

very pretty

Thanks Amy. I wish I had time and money to dedicate to making the house more to my liking. Maybe after the girls are done with college and married.

I hear ya!

MELISSA TRYING IT AGAIN?
FROM THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER

MELISSA GILBERT faces marriage disaster with her French hunk, who is using her just to get a foothold in America, fear pals.
The 48-year-old “Little House on the Prairie” star filed for divorce from Bruce Boxleitner just last year, but she’s al­ready made secret plans to get hitched to Thierry Gauchet during her July visit to Paris, say insiders.

Melissa is lovestruck with the 42-year-old vintage car dealer, but her pals don’t trust him!

“Melissa decided to go to Paris with her 16-year-old son Michael, and she couldn’t wait to get there,” a close source told The ENQUIRER.

“Everyone was worried sick that while in France she would impul­sively wed Thierry, and friends pleaded with her to think twice be­fore jumping into marriage so soon.

“They think Melissa is in love with love, and they’re suspicious that Thierry began pressing her to tie the knot be­cause he wants a green card (that would let him live and work in the U.S.).”

Melissa pooh-poohed her friends’ concerns, but they remained hopeful she would see the light before it was too late.

The ENQUIRER previously reported in April, Melissa had fallen so hard for Thierry she had a tattoo dedicated to her last hubby Bruce Boxleitner erased to make way for one in her new beau’s name.

“Melissa can’t live without Thierry,” said a source. “But clearly her mind is clouded by ‘l’amour’ and she can’t think straight.

“Friends begged her not to rush to the altar.”

Last summer that Melissa filed for divorce, six months after separating from Boxleitner, her husband of 16 years.

The actress cited “irrec­oncilable differences” and asked for joint custody of son Michael and not to have to pay spousal support. Melissa also has a son from a previous marriage.

Oddly, the person most concerned about her potential marital misstep is her ex-husband, revealed the source.

“Deep down Bruce wishes Melissa would give him a second chance,” the source explained. “He’s heartbro­ken and concerned she’s going to be taken for a ride. He never trusted the Frenchman for one second.”

hmm.I don't normaly believe things that come from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER

I don't believe gossip magazines. Their 99% lies 1% truth.

I saw a picture of them I think on a site, but Melissa said the Enquirer lied about what they wrote. I suppose marriages and babies are easy fodder when it's a "maybe" they will.
I know it goes with the job in Hollywood but I feel like an actress can't have a gassy/bloated day without being pregnant, some numerous times before the "real" event happens. LoL

I saw this looking at LHOP interviews. I have to admit, it was smaller than I thought, 1 acre, but I loved the kitchen and island there. It was a very feminine home (maybe she had others, I'm not sure)

Melissa has a beautiful home.
