When it comes to iconic actors starring on television, there's no one more memorable than Melissa Gilbert portraying Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. And as she gets ready to guest luminary on When Calls the Heart, she's lucky to hold another actor in her life to navigate the planet of Hollywood — her husband of 11 years, The West Wing starTimothy Busfield.
