Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) and Willie Olsen (Jonathan Gilbert) are adopted brother and sister in real life. Just as Laura and Willie were enemies onscreen, Melissa and Jonathan reportedly had a problematic relationship offscreen as well. In her autobiography "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch", Allison Arngrin recounts a story when she was eating dinner at the Gilbert house; and Melissa said to her, "I hate my brother, do you want to keep him?" She said this within earshot of Jonathan, on purpose. Not surprisingly then, a few years after the show wrapped, when Melissa's brother turned 18, he reportedly moved away and lost contact with Melissa. Melissa now admits they are now estranged; and she hasn't talked to him in years.
