Fifty years after the first broadcast of the famous series “Little House on the Prairie”, still broadcast on TV, Alison Arngrim, better known as Nellie Oleson, presented her last show in Coucouron on Saturday evening, accompanied by her friend Patrick Loubatière.
This is a name that has left its mark on entire generations and which continues to enter homes through the little window. Nellie Oleson, the plague of the series “Little House on the Prairie”, was on stage Saturday evening, in Coucouron, an Ardèche town near Pradelles. And a few minutes before going on stage, while the public gathered in front of the multipurpose room, we were able to meet the actress and her sidekick on stage Patrick Loubatière, French teacher during the week in a high school in Montpellier “We have been friends for 22 years and we have been doing this duo on stage for 18 years.
Alison Arngrim lives in Los Angeles and comes to France during tours. “We want to make people happy, take them back to memories of the 80s. We offer a humorous show but not satirical, it’s positive humor,” says Patrick Loubatière while Alison Arngrim finishes getting ready.
“Little House on the Prairie is a worldwide success, the series is immortal.”
After each show, the actress takes the time to meet the public, respond to requests for signings and selfies. But for the first time, the dedication will take place this Sunday morning, at Lafarre, only for those who attended the show. Because in Lafarre, a passionate person has recreated La Petite Maison dans la prairie de Walnut Grove. Her name is Sophie Barbry.
