I would love to be an extra for this if it’s in Shreveport, LA.
I am 13 turning 14 in a few months but I can play Laura.The first Laura had an impact on my life. I learned from the series. All of my family love Little House On The Prairie. I can be a great Laura Ingalls if you gave me the chance. Thanks!
I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. I used to watch LHOTP all the time. Laura I. is a lot like me. We are both adventuresome, curious, and have lots of personality. My grandparents live in rural Montana, so I know lots about country life. I like animals, am a good friend, and am very creative. I hope you will consider me for this role and I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Fern
