Melissa Gilbert, best known for her role as Laura Ingalls Wilder in “Little House on the Prairie,” recently spoke vulnerably about her experience and regrets with cosmetic procedures. Overall, the TV star who played Laura Ingalls from 1974 to 1983, said during an interview with People Magazine <\/em><\/a>that it made her look worse, not better.<\/p>\n

She said candidly, “I literally looked like Carrot Top, the comedian. My hair was too red, and when I did\u00a0Botox, I became the spawn of Satan with pointy eyebrows. I had no facial expression, which is anathema, considering what I do for a living.” Gilbert added, “It’s exhausting keeping up that kind of fa\u00e7ade. I was very insecure.”<\/p>\n

Gilbert, now 59, shared that her insecurities started in 2012 when she competed on “Dancing with the Stars.” She reflected, “I was approaching 50, and there was this panic of, ‘This is it. I’ve got to wring this out while I can,'” admitting the milestone birthday sparked the decision to make a handful of “bad choices” cosmetically. Gilbert met her current husband, Timothy Busfield, the same year she appeared on the ABC series, and she credits him with helping her embrace her natural beauty.<\/p>\n
