Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for Open, Honest and Provocative Conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly, welcome to the Megan Kelly show and happy Friday.

My guest today is my dear dear friend, Melissa Francis.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

She's been on the show before, but we, you know, we talk news usually.

She called in one time we talked to Dr. Laura about something in Melissa's personal life.

And I've never done a full feature on Melissa and it's overdue because her life is fascinating.

It's fascinating.

And she doesn't love talking about herself.

She did write a memoir, but she's really, you know, she's one of those people you try

to talk to where she turns around on you.

She wants to hear about you, but I got her today.

I was like, she's got to talk about herself because she's coming on to do that.

You may know her more recently for her work on Fox News, Fox Business, but Melissa's,

well, one of her first jobs came when she was just a baby.

The very first one was when she was just six months old when she was the star of a Johnson

and Johnson baby shampoo commercial.

She had the big eyes and the perfect face and the best attitude.

And they saw even at that age, this woman belongs on camera.

Well, she worked as a very successful young actress through the years, landing her best

known role as Cassandra Cooper Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie right alongside

Jason Bateman, who played her brother.
