Overview
- On Dec. 27, Gilbert shared a backstage photo from her off-Broadway play Pen Pals that showed her and Anderson together in New York City.
- Her caption said they reconnected after “long, healing talks” and that “the past is now just that,” adding they can “move forward” as friends.
- The image also featured Pen Pals co-star Veanne Cox and Tony winner Betty Buckley, who was in the audience.
- Gilbert, 61, and Anderson, 63, portrayed Laura and Mary Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie from 1974 to 1983, and both have previously described a distant real-life dynamic.
- Reports note the reunion follows the August death of Anderson’s husband, Michael Sloan, and that she has not been separately quoted in the coverage.
