Melissa Gilbert, 59, is embracing the idea of getting older. The actress, best known for starring in 'Little House on the Prairie,' admits in a new interview that while she's undergone plastic surgery and various cosmetic procedures in the past, she's now given it up and is content to age on her own terms. Looking back at her time on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2012, she told People, 'I was approaching 50 and there was this panic of, 'This is it.
Acknowledging there are some women in Hollywood in her age group 'who are still a size 2 or a 0,' Gilbert explained, 'That’s not what my life is right now. It’s attainable, but it’s fleeting. You have to keep it up. I did that in my 20s, and I don’t have the wherewithal to do it anymore. 'If that’s what you want to do with your time, great. I'd rather get down in a sandbox and play with my grandchildren.
Our lives got very, very simple,' she said of her move with Busfield to a rustic cottage in the Catskill Mountains in New York. 'Our lives are simple now, and there’s a sweetness to that simplicity. And with that simplicity comes a real love for stillness and living my life in a peaceful place. That means not fighting a natural process. Fighting a process that is as natural as aging is the opposite of peaceful. 'It’s an uphill battle. Eventually, everyone loses.
