Melissa Gilbert- Laura
Melissa Anderson- Mary
Missy (Melissa) Francis- Cassandra

I guess Micahel landon ahd a thing for melissa's:D

Hey, yeah. I didn't know Missy's real name was Melissa. I guess Michael Landon also had a thing for hiring siblings. Well, the sisters that played Grace and the sisters that played Carrie don't exactly count since they were twins playing one character (except for the episode "The Godsister.") But Melissa and Jonathan Gilbert were brother and sister, and Matthew and Patrick Labyorteaux were brothers.
