jay_g: How long did it take to shoot the mini-series "Little House on the Prairie"? danielle: We were in Calgary Canada for 3 1/2 months filming Little House. It was during the winter time so it was really cold, but I like the cold and snow. jay_g: What was it like playing the role of Mary Ingalls, the same role played by Melissa Sue Anderson in the 1970s and 1980s? danielle: It was fun playing Mary Ingalls. Mary is the domestic daughter who likes to cook, do school and be with Ma. She is the one who is always scared and doesn't like adventure. I guess I am a little bit like her but I love sports especially soccer and softball and I don't mind a little adventure once in a while. jay_g: What was your favorite scene that you liked best from "Little House on the Prairie" mini-series? danielle: My favorite scene from Little House was when the prairie fire was attacking our cabin. Of course it was a controlled fire but it was so hot and smokey we could hardly see and breath. We had to grab burlap sacks and get them wet and try to put out the fire as it came close to our cabin. It was pretty fun. jay_g: Do you stay in touch with any of the other cast members from the mini-series? danielle: Yes, I do stay in touch with with the cast. Kyle and I talk and we went to a Dodger baseball game together, it was really fun. My mom and I were in L.A.and we went to lunch with Erin, Ma, Cameron, Pa, and I talk on the phone because he lives in Vancouver. The first night Little House aired I called all of them during the show and talked to them I was so excited. It was really fun, but it made me miss all of them even more. jay_g: What other projects do you have coming up in the near future? danielle: Right now we are just waiting to see if Little House is going to get picked up for a series. Since Little House I did an episode of Crossing Jordan and a commercial. jay_g: Have you heard anything on if Little House will return to become a regular show in the 2005 Fall line-up? danielle: So far I haven't heard if Little House will continue. I know that all the reviews have been very positive and everyone seems to be liking the show. I would love to be able to continue with Little House and see everyone again. I made a lot of friends in Canada and would love to go back there and see them again. I am very proud of the show and I am grateful to ABC and Disney for featuring the show. |
