How could anyone say he was horrible, they seemed to have had so much fun on the sets. Sometimes people with a massive sense of humor can be misunderstood, I know!!!
Michael was much more than a great actor. He was a GREAT HUMAN BEING. I always try to remember him as he asked for: With smiles and laughs, but it isn't that easy. ( You understand me, my Little Joe. I'm sure you understand me if many times I cry thinking of you)
Little House On the Prairie depicts a very hard life. The Ingalls never have money, they often barely make ends meet. The settlers of Walnut Grove toil in the fields and when their crops fails, Charles is often away finding whatever work he can. It's often dangerous, such as using dynamite to clear a mine. As much as I love the show, I would never want that kind of life for myself. Michael Landon probably never worked that hard, even one day of his life. He lived in luxury and so did his children. Little House is really about the strength and unity of family life. It's dealing with heartache and facing adversity. There's always a lesson in human kindness and relationships between people. It's a show we can learn from because his message is very clear. He often uses religion as a comfort zone. The show will go on. I often wonder if he could have lived the kind of life he portrayed.
@loungeblogger - she did several plays and she was Pres. of the Screen Actors Guild. In her life, she married several times and has 3 boys. She hasn't become a big screen star but everything certainly WAS ahead of her.
