00:00 Melissa Gilbert became world famous as a child with Little House on the Prairie.
00:07 In later years, she also suffered from Hollywood pressures to look beautiful.
00:11 The actress openly admits to having undergone a number of beauty procedures, which she now
00:14 regrets.
00:15 In an interview with People Magazine, Melissa Gilbert admitted this.
00:20 "I was approaching 50 and there was this panic of, 'This is it, I've got to wring this out
00:24 while I can,'" Melissa said.
00:26 The actress eventually underwent Botox treatments and dyed her hair.
00:30 Today however, she looks back critically on her appearance back then.
00:34 "My hair was too red and when I did Botox, I became the spawn of Satan with pointy eyebrows.
00:39 I had no facial expression, which is an anathema, considering what I do for a living," Melissa
00:42 confessed.
00:44 After the failed procedures, Melissa ultimately decided to let things take their natural course
00:48 again.
00:49 She received lots of support from her husband Timothy Busfield as she further revealed to
00:52 People.
00:53 "When I would say, 'I think I'm going to stop coloring my hair,' he'd say, 'I can't wait
00:57 to see what color it is.
00:59 This is so exciting.'
01:00 When I said, 'I think I want to get my breast implants taken out permanently,' he said,
01:05 'Do it.
01:06 It's incredibly uplifting to be with someone who says, 'I love you exactly the way you
01:09 are.'"
01:13 Today the actress is getting older in a completely different light.
01:16 "Aging is a gift.
01:18 I like to say I'm aging gratefully," she said.
01:20 "I'm not aging in a negative way.
01:21 I'm aging in a positive way.
01:22 I'm aging in a positive way."
