message: This from Michael Landon...
:After the series ended, Gilbert stayed connected with Michael Sr. for the next 8 years, until his death. After Landon's passing, she named her son, Michael Garrett Boxleitner (1995), after him.
...contradicts what is in this article:
:Melissa didn't have any contact with Landon after "Little House" ended during the 1983/1984 season. Seven years later, on May 9, 1991, when she saw a gaunt-looking Landon on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson discussing his pancreatic cancer, she was compelled to finally telephone him. She had had no contact with Landon since his divorce scandal and he had never met her son, Dakota Brinkman, born May 1, 1989. Together they went to his Malibu home where he was, by then, bed-ridden. They spent the afternoon together. It was her opportunity to say "goodbye," something she did not get to do when Paul Gilbert suddenly passed away when she was 11. Exactly one week later, on July 1, 1991, Landon died. When Melissa gave birth to her second son (with second husband Bruce Boxleitner) on October 6, 1995, she named him Michael in honor of him.
So, which is it? --Elliskev 18:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "Meanwhile, Sara, jealous of all the gifts and money Melissa was receiving starring on Little House and in television movies, also wanted to be an actress."
I find this sentence judgemental and inappropriate for this encyclopaedia. In Sara Gilbert's pages in Wiki it is only mentioned that she wanted to be an actress like her sister, and in IMDB they say that Sara was inspired by Melissa's career to become an actress herself. Both ways are far more neutral and appropriate and I suggest either one replaces this one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amj1967 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Having just read Melissa's biography (Prairie Tale, 2009), I didn't see anything to indicate that Melissa is a "natural redhead".  Every "natural" redhead that I know of was a redhead as a child (that goes for natural blondes also - one does not go from being a brunette child to a blond adult without assistance). Melissa wasn't a redhead until she was an adult, and she's had plastic surgery and other enhancements, so she probably would also color her hair.  I think the "natural redhead" line should be removed, unless it can be documented by something Melissa herself has said.  She was a brunette as a child, and her bio doesn't mention hair color being changed for the Little House on the Prairie series. The character she played was a brunette.

message: Please Leave the Photo of Melissa at Starlight on the profile instead of at the Emmy Awards, The Photo of her on stage is more current. And that photo of her at the Emmys is just ugly. --DefyingGravityForGood (talk) 18:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand that - because you created the photo - you take a special liking in it, but it's a very vague, unsharp and unclear photo that does not gave a clear image of what Melissa Gilbert looks like, the way the Emmy photo does. Detailled photos are more important than recent photos. Moviefan (talk) 13:55, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: You need to cite a valid reliable source. See WP:BLPRS. BilCat (talk) 20:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

text: I've checked this source, an interview with the Archive of American Television,  which is cited in the article. In it, Gilbert clearly states that she was born on May 8, 1964. This was changed to 1963 without comment by an IP user in 2022. In her book, which is also cited, she states that her birth father claimed she was born in 1963, so this may be where the confusion comes from. Since she was adopted when she was 24 hours old, it's unlikely her adopted parents got the year wrong. That's why we use reliable sources, and cite them so they can be verified, as sometimes it does get changed. BilCat (talk) 21:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
