Melissa Gilbert – Age 55

Another inspiring story we can learn from is Melissa Gilbert’s. Her fame was primarily due to Little House on the Prairie in the late ’60s, but Melissa has also appeared in other TV shows. Melissa is an excellent American actress, producer, director, politician, and a former president of Screen Actors Guild Awards. If you think she is not a skillful star, you are wrong. She would not have earned what she has now without persistence.

Her sister, Sara Gilbert, also shares the same talent for acting. However, like many celebrities who have fallen into temptation, Melissa also gave in to her alcohol and drug addiction. Thankfully, after agreeing to undergo treatment at a rehab, the actress learned how to overcome her urges to drink and use drugs. Now, she helps others with the same condition through her book Prairie Tale: A Memoir. No amount of online classes can teach you the wisdom gained from experience.
