The hairstyle was also one of the fan’s favorite parts of her look. But most people also loved how she got her makeup to make her eyes pop. “Curls and eyes are perfect,” said a fan.

Others who witnessed Arngrim grow up on television were also impressed by how young she looked. “You barely have one wrinkle! Still so pretty, Alison!” gushed a Facebook user.

Besides sharing her humor with her online friends, she also has a husband who has been enjoying her outgoing character for the past 35 years.

Is Alison Arngrim Married?

Outside of her acting career, Arngrim has also done a lot of work as an activist, which is how she met the love of her life, Robert Paul Schoonover.

Schoonover was a director of the South Carolina AID Hotline when they met, and in no time, the two were married.

The couple walked down the aisle in 1993 after Arngrim ended her four-year marriage with Donald Mark Spencer. Spencer was a Florida-born actor famously known for his part in “NCIS,” “Malcolm and Eddie,” and “Hide and Go Shriek.”

With her second wedding, the actress chose a non-traditional route. She wore a black tuxedo instead of a wedding gown. Arngrim is proud of never giving up on love because she would have never met her “soul mate.”

Arngrim is a woman of many talents, an actress, and a New York Times best-selling author. She published a book titled, “Confessions of A Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated” based on her portrayal of nasty Nellie.

Why Did Alison Arngrim Call Her TV Father “Bad”?

Looking back at her time on “Little House on the Prairie,” the actress revealed that Michael Landon, the ultimate family man on the show, was the opposite in real life.

Even though Arngrim clarified that she did not have a problem with Landon, she confessed that she did not like the environment he created on set.

She called them “manic” and said he would drink and smoke on set and make bad sexist jokes which created a “booze-drinking culture on set,” said Arngrim.

Even one of the co-stars that played Landon’s wife on the show confessed that he once refused to pay her minimum wage and made hurtful jokes about her body and inappropriate jokes.

Many people believed he was the good family man he portrayed on television, but Arngrim said he was far from it, starting with him driving a Ferrari and being married three times.

Aside from the ups and down in his life, the comedian still admitted that Landon was a good person at heart, very hard working and creative.

Landon might have had too much energy that many people could not keep up with, but Arngrim did not mind how “wild” he was, but she believed being a teenager influenced her view of him. “He’s not everyone’s cup of tea; that is absolutely true,” she remarked.
