Summary

Surprise! We’re back to share our extended interview with Alison Arngrim, aka everyone’s favorite mean girl: Nellie Oleson.

Beyond all that, she’s simply a delight and we hope you enjoy the interview!Read Alison Arngrim’s memoir, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
