Melissa Sue Anderson's Only Daughter Grew Up To Be Gorgeous Like Her Mom
When looking back on the beloved '70s series "Little House on the Prairie," fans are often eager to find out what the leading ladies of the show look like today. Melissa Sue Anderson, who played Mary Ingalls, has since grown out the youthful image "Little House" viewers knew and loved her for. Though fans have a good idea of what Anderson looks like now, others may not be as familiar with her daughter, Piper Harmon, nor that she grew up to be just as beautiful as her famous mom.
Harmon and Anderson posed together for a photo at the Genesee Country Village & Museum that the latter shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, in September 2014. The two seemingly coordinated their periwinkle blue outfits — perhaps indicating Harmon inherited her mom's famous style. The photo also revealed Harmon inherited some of her mom's signature traits, whether it be her prominent cheekbones or shining complexion. Fans gushed over how stunning the mom and daughter are. "Oh my you both look so beautiful," one X user wrote. Harmon and Anderson are clearly a knockout force both together and apart.
Piper Harmon is following in Melissa Sue Anderson's footsteps
Though she's best known to the world as Mary Ingalls, actor Melissa Sue Anderson was more concerned about being a dedicated mom to her two kids, Piper Harmon and Griffin Sloan, than she was about performing. She ultimately left the entertainment world to prioritize raising her kids. "I really don't feel like I'm missing anything," she told People regarding her retirement. "It's a lot of work just taking care of the kids."
Piper Harmon is now leading her own life that she mostly keeps under wraps. Her X profile does, however, reveal some aspects of her personal life. Piper married Jeb Harmon in October 2016, and they've since gone on several adventures together — like birthday trips to Disneyland, as shown in a February 2019 X photo where Jeb treated his spouse to an eventful day any bride would kill for. Piper shared another fun anecdote on social media — "Husband appreciation post: When he takes you to #HarryPotter trivia brunch and #TaylorSwift concert all in one day," Harmon wrote in a July 2018 tweet.
