Unless she is a money hag.
Wanna see my grandkids?
Alison has a great sense of humor, and grew up in Hollywood - she has loads of stories to tell, that are of interest to us death hags. I'm not sure she would call herself "one of us" - but that might just mean she hasn't been exposed to it enough to embrace it. She loves this stuff and dishes great dirt.

Someone contact her and get her on here. I've seen clips of her act and she is a hoot!
She was a terrific child star!
That would be fun! I like her and follow her Tweets on Twitter.=)
I would LOVE to see her tour! I think she's really great.

I have never seen or heard her show but I like that she cares so much for child actors. She and another former child star...I saw an interview but now I forget who & where. Ah well, anyway kudos to her!
I love her

Alison's tour with Richard was a riot. Really enjoyed her debut tour, which she peppered with interesting deathy things, to appease even the most cynical. If you are a Little House fan (a 'housie' lol) or just someone interested in Hollywood and her take on things, you won't be disappointed if you take the tour. I learned a lot, and I'm a tour snob : )

She totally didn't mind taking the piss at herself - even brought wigs! Oh my fuck, that face had me cracking up for about 15 minutes straight, when I uploaded these images.

Another AA fan here! She looks like a riot! It's nice to see someone taking the piss, having fun, rather than trying desperately to hang on to past glory/pulling the diva act etc. She looks effing cool.
So wait, she has a tour too? Maaaaaaaan, got to get to CA!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Wow, that was some huge-open-mouthed-but-totally-straight-bromance greeting. (爆)~RaRa
Im a huge fan....i loved her on the show...and have seen some of her standup..would love to see her tour
She looks a bit like Baby Jane in that pic...lol.
Ahahaha! Love the pics!

Alison just appeared on Nancy Grace, making some commentary (Nancy introduced her as "you may know her as Nellie Oleson; herself a childhood victim of sexual abuse") on the Neveah Buchanan case. I was excited to see her, but she was only given enough time to make a two or three sentence comment.
I think it's great but $100 for a 3 hour tour sounds a wee bit expensive.
Irritating that woman....
Allison seems like a really cool person.

The scene I remember best is when she was pregnant & eating pickles.
loved it when she rode down the hill in the wheel chair and was thrown in the pond.
This woman has a great sense of humor, to overcome all the shit of her childhood. Saw her on Today, she never said if she kicked back?
I just finished reading her new book. It is wonderful. If you get a chance, pick up a copy.
She is going to be at the RAZZ, Nikko Hotel, San Francisco on July 9 & 10th. I'm going with a friend.....Any other Death Hags going?

I just love her. I'm going to get the book soon. I think she needs to come out as a Death Hag.
If any of you guys are in LA next Wednesday night, Alison is doing a book signing at Larry Edmunds Book Shop, the Dearly Departed Tours launching place.
Here's our next 2 events @ Larry Edmunds Bookshop.
The wonderful ALISON ARNGRIM brings the prairie to the LARRY next WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30th @ 7:00 p.m. signing her new book, "Confessions of A Prairie Bitch."
Then, on SUNDAY, JULY 18th, @ 1:00 p.m., a SUNDAY matinee with author MATT BECKOFF and scream queens KATHLEEN HUGHES, CARLA LAEMMLE & ELENA VERDUGO. Horror-meister BOB BURNS will join in on the fun as well.
We hope you can make one of these great events @ LARRY EDMUNDS BOOKSHOP.
Keep up to date following LARRY EDMUNDS BOOKSHOP on facebook as well.

I can't recommend her book enough. It's not just a good LHOTP book or a good "former childstar memoir" book, it's a good book. She's funny as hell, she deals with things like her friend/ersatz husband's AIDS death and the sexual abuse by her brother without the least hint of self-pity, you understand how she loved and hated her parents (daddy was gay and a shameless self and daughter promoter, Mama was the voice of Casper the Ghost who not only didn't cook but couldn't pull back the foil from a TV dinner, and both were oblivious to their daughter's sexual abuse going on in their house and didn't feel the need to take her to the hospital when she broke her arm- yet they were also loving). She gives the perfect amount of dish (oh, okay, I'd love her to really let loose and tell all, but she gives a good amount- actually Melissa Sue is the only one who really gets more than a single barrel amount, though Melissa Gilbert's mom gets a load of buckshot as does the Greenbush mom [mother of the twins who played Carrie], but several others- Gilbert, Katherine "Mrs. Oleson" McGregor, Jonathan Gilbert, and others from the show seem like people you'd love to know.
She also manages to write like she's talking to you, which if you've never tried it is very difficult, and she keeps in mind that if you didn't grow up on television then perhaps you may not know what latex pancake sponges or key grips are, so she explains it without being patronizing. You will also be looking for clips of LHOTP on YouTube to crossreference her story, and if you're like me the phrase "They look like they fuck like crazed weasels" will find its way into your parlance. I have a feeling she only lifted one or two of the petticoats in writing and I hope she writes more because I'd sure buy it.
