'Little House on the Prairie' star Melissa Gilbert 'had to leave Los Angeles' to age gracefully
Briefly

"I looked at myself in the mirror several years back. I was living in Los Angeles, and I did not recognize who I was. I had overfilled my face and my lips. My forehead didn't move. I was still dyeing my hair red. I was driving a Mustang convertible... I looked like a frozen version of my younger self, and that's not who I was."
"I was stuck. I could feel myself fighting it. And I said to myself, 'It's time to age.' I had to leave Los Angeles to do that - not Hollywood - Los Angeles specifically."
"I stop coloring my hair. I had [my] breast implants removed. I decided to just be the best, healthiest version of myself without this pressure to look a certain way, and it paid off in a huge way."
"I finally found my feet as a woman, fully, 100 percent strong in my own knowledge, in my own accomplishments. Everything got easier. And a bonus? I have a lot more free time not staring in a mirror, sitting in a dermatologist's chair, or sitting in a hair chair."
