Alison Margaret Arngrim (born January 18, 1962)[1] is an American actress and author. Percival and Nellie later married and had two children, Jennifer and Benjamin Dalton. Percival’s father passed away soon after, and the family then moved to New York so Percival could take over his father’s store. Eventually, Nellie returned to Walnut Grove to visit her family. However, her adopted sister Nancy became jealous of the attention Nellie was getting and ran away from home.
Early life
Nellie Oleson Dalton was the oldest child of Harriet and Nels Oleson. Nellie has two siblings, Willie and adopted sister Nancy. She married Percival Dalton and had two children with him. The second girl, Genevieve Masters, was born November 12, 1867, in Hornby, Steuben County, New York[2] and was the spoiled daughter of Laura's former teacher.
About Alison Arngrim
I am absolutely AMAZED that Harvey Weinstein’s company, board of directors, his own brother, etc., just up and said, “Yup, he did it,” and folded up like a tent. I honestly can’t say I was ever really “bitter” about Nellie, even with the typecasting. I always loved the character and thought it was the most hilarious thing ever that I had been cast as a villain. Many people don’t know that child performers are EXEMPT from all Federal child labor laws. (Yes, really.) They are only protected by state laws and those of the union, (Screen Actors Guild).
The “Little House on the Prairie” Years
"This is a life changing moment, to go from living in a tent on a sidewalk, to living in your own private, secure, hygienic space," Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Krekorian said. Also, Melissa Gilbert was very young when her dad died and had very much taken on Michael as her emotional “dad.” So, yeah, as you can imagine, the divorce was really hard for a lot of people. But yes, women (and more than a few menfolk!) are mighty tired of this nonsense and many who have suffered quietly, in many different occupations, now feel like MAYBE it’s going to be a little easier to speak up. And companies, studios, etc., who always just looked at the financial “bottom line” are now thinking about that bottom line including lawsuits and boycotts from disgusted women.

Genevieve wore beautifully tailored clothes and had striking blonde curly hair, just as "Nellie Oleson" had. Genevieve boasted continually about how much more proper and "civilized" things were in the "East". With her superior attitude, Genevieve was far nastier than Nellie Owens had been, and Laura and Genevieve became keen rivals, both academically and socially.
Alison credits the role of Nellie as helping her to break out of her shell and giving her the childhood that she had missed. She and Melissa Gilbert fought relentlessly on screen, usually with Alison ending the day covered in mud, a bucket of water, or the aftermath of some fight. But off screen, they grew up together in the secluded set and enjoyed each other’s company. Nellie Owens was the primary basis of the character of Nellie Oleson.
It sound bizarre to say that the set of Little House, such a family, wholesome show, and one that where nearly every episode came in ahead of schedule and under budget, was running on beer and liquor all day, but it was. Arngrim had no trouble auditioning for the role of Nellie Oleson. She says when she read for the part, the producers, which included Michael Landon, began laughing uncontrollably. According to her, they thought she was so funny that they “became hysterical” with laughter.

The other instance was the Brewsters, when Laura taught her first term of school. You have to remember he and his second wife Lynn were married for a long time. The family came along with Michael on location many times. The kids worked on the show as extras (Leslie eventually played “Miss Etta Plum” the teacher). Melissa Gilbert’s family and Michael’s family used to go on vacations together to Hawaii. Interestingly, a lot of what went into the show was Michael Landon’s longing for a happier childhood than the one he lived though.
Little House books
Arngrim calls her fans Bonnet Heads, because it's not just little kids who turn up wearing prairie bonnets. She recalls a group of seven adults who came to see her in Hartford, Conn., wearing bonnets; two of them men. » There's a musical parody set in Almond Grove in which the characters break into karaoke songs, like Pa singing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline'' and Ma singing "Sweet Child O' Mine'' by Guns N' Roses to Laura.
“The mayor is focused on providing permanent supportive housing that gets people off the streets for good.” A November 2020 analysis of another L.A. At the age of 12, I got the role of Nellie Oleson on “Little House on the Prairie” and played her for seven years. The NBC television series “Little House on the Prairie”, which ran from 1974 through 1983 was based on the extremely famous hit books of American author Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote extensively about her childhood in the late 1800s. Arngrim notes that VCRs weren't even widely available when the show debuted in 1974, but, somehow, the family drama has "exploded again and again," with parents showing it to their kids, passing it on from generation to generation. She suspects viewers are attracted to the emotional side of the series, based on the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Nellie’s mother and Percival’s father are both strong willed and there is a major culture clash when the Oleson’s want the baby raised as a Christian and the Cohen’s want the baby raised in the Jewish faith. After much arguing, they all decide a girl will be raised Christian and a boy will be raised Jewish. In the end the families realize that they just wish the baby is healthy, and Nellie gives birth twins – a girl and a boy. When Percival’s father dies, Nellie and Percival move to New York to take over his business. Nellie returns for a visit to Walnut Grove the following year.
Percival Dalton was hired to teach Nellie how to cook and manage a successful restaurant. Initially, Nellie was her typical mean-spirited, snarky self, but Percival eventually got her to change her ways and she matured into a kinder, warmer and more pleasant person. Later in her life, around 1883, the Owens family moved to California; probably via the Oregon Trail.
She was spoiled rotten by her mother, who gave her everything she wanted, along with being a bully. The city will likely challenge that ruling, but that court case won't stop the city's work in housing the homeless. When Nellie Oleson is seriously injured after falling from Bunny, a horse that used to belong to Laura Ingalls, Nellie's mother blames Laura for the accident and orders the animal destroyed....
He got sick of his mother’s neurosis after his father’s death and moved away. I am and have always been a hardcore city girl, so the romance of the whole “Laura lifestyle” is totally lost on me. But yes, with my childhood, abuse experience, etc., I think having Ma and Pa Ingalls around would have probably been an improvement. Arngrim says her father didn’t think Little House on the Prairie would last past one season.
After all, they're essentially telling the story of a family struggling to survive; it just happens to be set in the late 1800s. Arngrim plays the daughter of the rich family in town, the Olesons, and, of course, her character learned to be as awful as she is from her mother, Mrs. Oleson, played by the late Katherine MacGregor. In February, the city opened its first tiny home village, Chandler Boulevard Bridge Home Village, which contained 40 tiny home units. Also located in NoHo, this village was built in just 13 weeks upon an abandoned and oddly shaped infill lot that previously would have been overlooked because of its awkward shape. However, by opting for tiny shelters (as opposed to large trailers) the city was able to efficiently use the space in a beautiful way. The City of Los Angeles built the tiny home village, but it will be run and operated by Hope of the Valley.
In 1891 they went to Tillamook, Oregon, where Nellie taught school and in married[3] Henry Francis Kirry (1869–1951). They moved to Bay City, Oregon, and had three children; Zola (1894–1986), Lloyd (1896–1961) and Leslie (1900–1931). Soon, the Kirrys changed their home again by moving to Rainier, Oregon, in 1899.[3] Her brother Willie went blind from a firecracker explosion, attended a school for the blind, married, and also had three children. In terms of the design, Lehrer Architects selected each community's vibrant palette. "In projects like these, design matters to uplift residents and to respectfully complete and enhance the neighborhood," the firm noted in a press release back in February. It further explained that shelters of the same color were grouped together in order to create a coherent sense of a village.
