Gilbert revealed to People her change in attitude about aging was thanks to husband, Timothy Busfield, saying, “Through his inspiration I found the courage to be just me.”A post shared by Melissa Gilbert (@melissaellengilbertbusfield) on
But the decision to let just the aging process naturally run its course was not something Melissa embraced easily, especially during her stint on Dancing With The Stars, which she says “was the peak of Botox, fillers, spray tan, hair extensions, big boobs. That was the epitome of all the stuff I’m opposite to at this point.”
“I just had to sit back and reevaluate and find my way, and I’m actually really glad that I did,” Melissa told the mag. “I feel healthier than I ever have, physically and emotionally. I’m stronger.”A post shared by Melissa Gilbert (@melissaellengilbertbusfield) on
Melissa decided to have her breast implants removed because she was worrying about them leaking as she got older. But as for quitting Botox, that took a little longer.
“A couple of years ago I decided that I would try to sneak in a tiny bit of Botox to see if Tim noticed. The first thing he said to me was ‘What did you do?’ And he said, ‘I can’t read your expressions. I don’t know what you’re feeling.’ And he was right,” Melissa shared.
Since then the star has eschewed all plastic surgery, Botox and fillers and has even stopped dying her trademark red locks, telling People, “I’m done with enhancements. I look great for my age and I feel great and I’m happy.”A post shared by Melissa Gilbert (@melissaellengilbertbusfield) on
