Alison Arngrim is...Thanks for your thoughts, Holly. Alison Arngrim is a particularly interesting case. Years after playing Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, she wrote a funny and fascinating memoir, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch. It details not only her activism on behalf of AIDS research but also some really horrendous aspects of her childhood. She's a survivor AND she's hilarious -- the word "ugly" doesn't seem to describe her at all.

"Cute" features on a child often change when they grow into adulthood; what kind of infantile jerk mocks physical features like this? <br /><br />Many of these actors overcame troubles they might have had, and even did their part to give back to the world that allowed them to have success. Alison Argrim, I believe, did a lot of charity work for AIDS research back in the eighties and nineties. She's just one of many who showed they have beauty on the inside, even if the spiteful author of the piece thought conventional beauty was lacking. <br /><br />Just sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005452069220080098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-57794653242629939872013-06-23T23:20:24.737-07:002013-06-23T23:20:24.737-07:00Thanks, Mr. C.

I think to be fair the creator of this list should have posted a child photo and adult photo of himself to show what a glowing example of adult pulchritude he has become. (Spoiler alert - he didn't - as the just fired George Zimmer would say "I guarantee it.") Mayim Bialik is an attractive young woman. He picked perhaps the closest-to-conventional-good-looks photo of Clint Howard ever.<br /><br />If you're ever looking to put off work for a few minutes, might I suggest any of the 600+ posts at my blog? I can't guarantee the writing quality, but most of the time there's very little snark. ;)Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-65415096041844729962013-06-21T16:39:15.119-07:002013-06-21T16:39:15.119-07:00Well, I never interviewed her!
