GILBERT FINDS EXTRA HEIGHT ‘WEIRD’
Former child star MELISSA GILBERT is adjusting to having a little extra height after undergoing surgery on her spine - the operation made her half an inch (2.54 centimetres) taller.
The Little House on the Prairie actress went under the knife over the summer (10) to replace a disc and fuse a vertebra in her lower spine after performing in a touring musical of the popular drama series with a broken back.
She has now returned to full health and is getting used to standing that tiny bit taller.
Gilbert tells U.S. TV’s The Talk, "I had surgery three months ago. (Now my back’s) perfect.
"The crazy thing is I’m almost five foot five, and I was only five foot four and a half, so they actually gave me height. It’s really weird."
