In the Spotlight: Beckie/MattLabMyLove!

Another Friday, another Spotlight! I'm really enjoying these a LOT, and want to thank all of you who have taken part and helped to make it so much fun!

Tonight's Spotlight is on Beckie! (MattLabMyLove) Beckie's enthusiasm is always contagious! (Even if we don't cheer for the same sports teams. ) And here's tonight's Spotlight!!




How did you get interested in LHOTP? Well when I was a kid I did not like it. Then one day when I was older I sat down and watched it and I was hooked. I am so glad I can appreciate it now.


Which came first for you: the books or the TV series? The TV series. I have never read the books as I am not much of a reader.

How often do you watch the TV series? Hardly ever now unfortunately.

Have you watched other productions of LH? If so, did you like them? I saw the made for TV movie with Kyle Chivarra (sp?). I liked it a lot.

Did you get to see the LHOTP musical with Melissa Gilbert? No. If it came to my city I sure would have.


Do you have a favorite character? Mary, Albert, Laura

Do you believe that the moral lessons that Little House taught helped to make you a better person? Not really, but they are good lessons. I have always tried to be a better person.

Is there an episode that stands out in your mind as a favorite? Hmm...so many I can't choose just one. I really liked the ones where Laura and Almanzo started falling in love.

Do any of the episodes move you to tears? If so, why? Yes..It just has that kind of effect on me. Plus being that I like acting I can really feel the emotion in the characters.

Who do you most relate to? I have no idea.

Where were you born? Pittsburgh

How many states/places have you lived in? Just one

How many people are in your family? I am the youngest of 9. My parents were married before and had kids to their ex's. I am the only child from them. I have a ton of niece's and nephews and even great nephews.

Have you ever been married? / Are you married? I was almost engaged once. I don't think I will ever get married.

Do you have children? No, but I would like to have twin boys, lol.

Do any others in your family share your affection for Little House on the Prairie and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s work? My older sister and cousin liked it. They were kids when it was a new show.

Have you met any of the cast members? No, but I have talked to several of them online.

Do you own anything Little House related? Yes tons of stuff. Mostly pictures. I have a letter and picture with Charlotte Stewart's autograph.

Have you met any of the board members? No, but would like to.

How long have you been a member on the LH board? I think since 2006.

What are some things that you enjoy doing to relax? Sleeping, sitting outside, going online.

What season do you like best? Spring, summer, autumn or winter? Summer for sure.

What season were you born in? Winter

What is your favorite holiday? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the 4th of July. Does my birthday count? hehe

What has been your biggest challenge? Getting through lifeguard classes and getting through life.

What are some of your best memories? Being a kid, being in high school and working on plays in college. I was a theatre major. Meeting all the friend I had in school and some I am still friends with. Hanging out with my cousins and nieces that are near my age.

How did you find this board? I was looking for a LHOP message board and found this. I am so glad I did! :)

What is one of the things you like best about our LH board? The people for sure.

Were you shy or outgoing as a child? Extremely shy. I still am but not as much as I used to because of life experiences.

What did you want to be when you were growing up, and did that pan out? An actress, musician, teacher, or dentist. None of the panned out, but I did some acting and music classes and piano lessons.

What was your first pet? I think a poodle name Maxine.

Did you go to your prom? If so, what was the theme & style of the time? Yes I went to my prom. It was the only dance I went to in high school. My friend hooked me up with a date, but he liked my best friend and she stole him from me, lol. I don't remember if there was a theme or not. It was in 1999.

There are so many other things I would like to share, but there are way to many to fit on this board, lol.

Thank you so much for letting us get to know you a little better, Beckie!

Nice! Good to know more about you...

Another sports fanatic.

Yay! Nice to get to know you!

Great answers and pics, Beckie.

nice to know you more

Hey Beckie, great answers to Savannah's 'QUIZ"....here's the Red Carpet for you to walk on when you get famous.....

Nice to get to know you a little more Beckie!
I seem to think of Hockey when I think of you... lol You were a big fan of hockey team right?

Twin boys? Really...I've got two you can practice on. They didn't come together though.
Thanks for letting us get to know you better.

Great pictures, Becky!

Nice to learn more about you.
A twins as the nephews of Almanzo ?
Every day LOL(hahahahahahaha)

Thanks everyone! It was my pleaure.

Carol, yeah I am a huge Penguins fan!

Beckie, all these years and I never knew you are the youngest of 9?! Whoa.


Great answers! Hey, you should really get more involved in community theater---it is obviously a great love of yours. A good friend of mine is my age and she still is heavily involved with theater, in her 'down time'. Could be fun for you too!

Beckie is a Penguins fan, no way. Great learning more about you, Beckie. You may get married yet. You're still young. Luckily this old fart did it before she lost her nerve.

Yep, people are getting married later and later these days. You have LOTS of time Beckie. One of my friends married at 39, had her first son at 40 and her second at 42. You never know where your path may lead you.

Great interview! And you had to get a little bit of Apolo in there, too!

Thanks.

Hey, would you start being a mother by...TWINS??? I sure like twins, but I should like to begin my "career" as a mother with a single baby! Later, will see. And if I "get" twins I should like a girl and a boy.

I liked LHOTP when a girl, but I liked it much more when older, since I could understand it better.
