In 1980, Anderson earned a 'TP de Oro' Award (considered to be Spain's most prestigious award for television) for 'Best Foreign Actress' for her role in "Little House on the Prairie". This followed a successful visit to Spain in 1979 to appear as a guest on RTVE's program, 625 Lineas. In 1981, she earned a Young Artist Award nomination for her performance in the Canadian slasher film "Happy Birthday to Me". After leaving "Little House", she continued acting in television series like "The Equalizer", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1980s)", CHiPs and "Murder, She Wrote", and was the associate producer for the next to last television project Michael Landon made before dying: "Where Pigeons Go to Die" (1990).
