My wife and I met Michael on the set of Little house years ago. He was very cordial and welcomed us. We did notice that he had a gaggle of writers following him around grasping at his every word. He was using an immense amount of obscenities while speaking, but not with us. We also met Richard Bull (Mr. Olsen), and he and I talked for a long time. He said he admired my career as an Engineer, and I was very flattered, he was a very nice fellow to talk with. Katherine McGregor (Mrs. Olsen) had little interest in speaking to us and was in our view rude. Interestong visit to the set indeed!
I went to high school with Armando Torres, one of the security guards killed by Landon's stalker. He was only 18 yrs old and had just graduated high school. I remember reading back then that it was supposedly his first day on the job. So tragic....
He was filming at a library in South Pasadena when I was a kid at continuation school across the street. I was blessed to meet him on a day I was suicidal. He shared his sandwich with me and gave me four Highway to Heaven shirts and hats. I had previously lived with an abusive estranged father and always wished he was my Dad. Yeah..,not a happy kid, but he touched my heart and life and he will always be in my heart. I may be here today because of him.
I went to Vermont in 2003 as an exchange student and the mayor´s wife of that little town worked on the set of Bonanza and when she talked so bad about Michael Landon, I could not believe her. I was even angry at her, as he was always portrayed so positively on German TV like the best husband, father and friend. Years later I found out that she was right. What she told me was the Landon was the complete opposite of Dan Blocker, the sweetest man she ever met.
Far as Michael goes, guess that's why they call it 'acting' ! But even in real life in his case, apparently, as many of these comments show. Like the old song states "Ain't it hard to discover that he ain't really where it's at ! " ? I guess he let it all go to his head, and became controlling, instead of just being damn glad of his success, and treating others around him better !
I used to like watching his camera commercials with his family at Christmas time. I was a young boy in foster care and it made me feel a part of their family.
Landon was generally disliked by the most of the adult cast of Little House due to being a tightwad. He not only refused to give Karen Grassle a raise when the show became popular, he diminished her role out of spite for her even asking. The child actors had fonder memories of Landon, but even they soured on him when he had an affair with a makeup artist in the series. Melissa Gilbert refused to talk with Landon for several years because of it, though they later reconciled.
Yes, you're right. Victor French also died of cancer, at age 54 (albeit lung cancer). It's still a pretty young age though, to die from lung cancer. Yeah, actor Kevin Hagen really resented Michael because of the whole money issue.
I imagine that a lot of actors and their management probably tried to put the squeeze on Michael Landon. I heard that he was very generous, but did deny certain actors' requests for raises. Business is business though. If you think about it from a business standpoint, I personally,, don't let it affect my opinion of him and his brilliance.
@@pxpunklv lets be honest......Michael Landon was a Jew......nothing he did for money against people should be surprising..........he tried to hide who and what he really was but they can't hide and control their greed............
What folks should realize is a tv character is just that. The actor's job is to portray the character . Andy Griffith and Lucille Ball had that same image.
Great examples of that are "All in the Family" with Archie Bunker and Edith Bunker. Neither actor was remotely like their characters there! Carroll O'Connor showed more of himself in "Heat of the Night" while Jean Stapleton was an accomplished actor on stage and film and nothing like the Edith character. They both did absolutely amazing jobs of portraying characters so unlike themselves in real life.
Sad how quick pancreatic cancer can be. He was diagnosed on April 2nd and died July 1st. I'm sure he had symptoms for some time before the diagnosis. That is what happened to my cousin who was about that same age when he died. After experiencing abdominal pain for a couple of months and losing weight he finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed. There was nothing they could do and about 3 months after diagnosis he passed.
Il paraît que Michael aurait refuser la chimio...quoi s'il en soit il est parti trop jeune. Il aurait apportait encore tellement de belles séries..pour faire réfléchir les gens et mettrent les les valeurs de Dieu au centre de son travail . QUE Dieu lui ouvre les portes du vrai paradis..lui et Victor french.😢❤❤❤🇨🇵🇨🇵🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏✝️🙏🙏
I definitely believe he had it for a lot longer but only went to the doctor when it got serious. In general, men don't go to the doctor for anything until it is very bad. And by the time they finally surrender to the doctor, most of the time, it is too late to do much.
Back in the days in the 80s I was going to write a booklet on celebrity graves...yes, way before Findagrave came out. I went to Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. One of the maintenance men showed me where Landon's mother was buried. He said Landon refused to put a marker for her, it just had the round metal piece with the number ID. Not been back there to check but even in death he loathed his mother. Just a tid bit for you!
I don't blame him for that, she was an abusive pos who hurt him as a child and humilated him, I would not do it either. I have no plans on getting my father his grave either when its his time, the VA will do that for him. I wont.
@@jszoradi8650Yes, I remember when young reading about it then saw the movie which was devastating. I don't blame him at all as I believe she was truly an awful mother and person.
I read Karen Grassle's book and she wasn't a big fan of him either. As far as I remember partly because of money - I think she had asked for more and in revenge he cut her role down. But he was a father figure to Melissa Gilbert, they were very close, though they fell out when he married Cindy, but reconciled before he died.
I am a professional archaeologist. I have been down here for about 44 years, but I'm originally from SoCal, about 15 minutes away by freeway from Hollywood. I'm 65 and 1/2 now, which will probably help you understand my interest in all this stuff. Your channel popped up about a week ago, and I have been subscribed ever since. So very glad you have the news clippings! Definitely sell them if you can't keep them! People think that people like us are weird. Like I said, I'm an archaeologist (PhD). Our interests are different from those of others. God bless, and love your channel! 🤗🇲🇽
Crazy stuff, i probably read 80% of those tabloid papers as a young teenager growing up. My late grandmother used to love those tabloid papers. Wow what a blast looking back at the way we would consume our news back then. Thanks Scott for the trip down memory lane. I loved little Joe Cartwright character on bonanza re-runs
I used to read them all the time when people like Dolly Parton & Tammy Wynette were in them. Back in the days when celebrities were actually interesting (even if you couldn't believe half of what was written about them) LOL 🙃
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing! I ❤love Michael Landon!! I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and my mom and I loved Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven! I still will watch both even now from time to time! I’ve seen both of those Tv movies 🎥!! Rest in Heavenly Peace Michael Landon!
I've read that Michael Landon was TOTALLY against Guy Williams joining the cast of Bonanza after Pernell Roberts ( who played Adam Cartwright) left the series. Even though the Adam character was supposed to get married, the push back from the fans was SO hard that they had the Guy Williams character ( cousin Will Cartwright) leave with Adam's fiancé instead. Michael Landon had a lot to do with that, too, apparently ! I guess he didn't want yet another 'handsome man' in the cast to compete against him for fan letters ! Pernell Roberts was ALWAYS my personal favorite on the show, and once he left ? I left too.
I always liked the Adam Cartwright character. He just came across as the best actor they had on that series. It's no wonder why he left after the 5th yr . Pernell was much more talented and much less egotistical too. He played so many tv & movie roles. My Favorite was Trapper John MD.
@@dmzabo3914 I agree. I heard that when he got the Trapper John part he actually got permission to do some hospital rounds with a real doctor to get familiar with what a good bedside manner looks/feels like. Now that to me is really doing your homework, and getting into your part !
There is a cancer cluster at the Santa Susana area including Chatsworth and Simi Valley (close to where the filming of the show occurred). There was a nuclear meltdown in 1959, and there is a lot of information about it online. I grew up and went to school in the area and I personally know 4 that have died of rare cancers and have a good childhood friend with stage 4 rare cancer.
I have never heard of the meltdown, that's absolutely frightening. I used to live close to the Handford Nuclear Site for approximately 20 years, up in Washington State. That kind of thing was always in the back of my mind!
@@karenleemallonee684 Not only was there a meltdown but Rocketdyne (now Boeing) used to do considerable testing in the area. "In the Dark of the Valley" is one documentary about it. The area is still contaminated and there is ongoing controversy about clean-up. Weird fact-where I went to school was property very close to Spahn ranch and we used to do crafts in a building we were told was used by The Family at one point.
Micheal Landon did an interview for LIFE magazine in May 1991 about his diagnosis. He admitted he smoked many packs of cigarettes a day for most of his adult life. He said he smoked so deeply that "smoke would come out from his shoes". He also admitted he drank too much and didn't have a very healthy diet. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are among the biggest risk factors for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Thank You for sharing Michael Landon’s death … I remember knowing he died from Pancreatic Cancer but never any details like you shared and didn’t realize he only lived 3 months after diagnosis. My Uncle died of it but didn’t realize he had it … he lost 30 pounds in one month … and died quickly after he entered hospital! My Aunt said he was in terrible agonizing pain! I did see his guest appearance on Johnny Carson Show … thank you again! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My father almost mirrored Landon's illness and death. My father thought he had a bleeding ulcer until April 8th, 1991, his 56th birthday, when they opened my father up for surgery on a bleeding ulcer. However, when they got in, they closed him up. He had pancreatic cancer and was very advanced. After one treatment, my dad said he wanted quality time left, not quantity. We joked with my coffee-drinking truck driver father about the coffee enema treatment. I asked if he wanted cream or sugar with it. My dad lasted a little longer and passed on September 12t2, 1991.
Pancreatic cancer that is a bad one. I went to see a friends dad who had it he ended up dying of it. My uncle's doctor thought he had an ulcer by the time they figured it out, it was cancer and it spread to other organs he died of pancreatic cancer also. I was young and I felt very helpless and pained.
My mom did the same thing. She bought and saved every single People magazine through the early 2000s that was devoted to a departed celebrity. She has newspaper obituaries for everyone from the mid 60s through the early 90s. I recently found a stack of newspapers from when Elvis died in some of my Uncle's property. I have five or six of them, and they are all in near mint condition. I love stuff like that too.
Thank you Scott for making this mini documentary on Michael Landon. It brought back a lot of memories for me when I worked on a TV movie called Love Is Forever in 1983. Michael Landon was the Executive Producer and starred in the movie with, Jürgen Prochnow, Edward Woodward and Priscilla Presley. I was hired by Hall Bartlett (Director, Producer and Writer). Hall and Michael Landon were in a huge disagreement on the making of the film and by the time we were in Post-Production things started to get very intense. I was in the presence of Michael Landon quite a few times, in the screening room and in the editing room. He was mostly silent, so there wasn't any friendly moments. It was the only film I had worked on that the Executive Producer wasn't introduced to his editing staff and there were no, "Good mornings, thank you, or goodnights." Michael Landon was (in my opinion) not a nice guy. I've seen fist fights in cutting rooms and the people involved would still say, "Thank you, see you tomorrow." I'm sure it had to do with the deep lines forming, we were clearly on Hall's side and that is what made him not want to be friendly toward us. But, there was something beyond that, something not quite right about him. I didn't know all the negative stories about him until I watched this video, now it makes sense to me why he seemed to be unfriendly. Our cutting rooms were at Goldwyn Studios (aka Warner-Hollywood, The Lot) and Hall Bartlett in fear of Michael Landon stealing the film footage, had us pack up the film and editing equipment in the middle of the night and move it across the street on Santa Monica Blvd to a building who rented KEM editing machines. We were told that we couldn't leave our homes and drive directly to work, that we would have to make sure we weren't being followed. One day, I felt I was being followed and I pulled over and they pulled over too. I waited, and then I went back home, which I believed I was still being followed. Within a few days, Lawyers got involved. We kept working under Hall Bartlett to finish the film. Michael Landon was not able to take the film and he wasn't able to make his changes. Because Hall Bartlett was the Director and a Producer on the Film and Michael Landon being the Executive Producer (and Star) didn't legally have the advantage over Hall. The Director's Guild has very strict rules on who is at the helm of a film. I did feel sorry for Michael Landon because the film was very badly made and I always wondered if Michael Landon was able to make it the way he wanted it produced, that it might have been a good movie.
Michael seemed to really know his stuff. Maybe that's why he was so pissy.. He could've at least said hello and whatnot though. But I guess being silent is better than being a complete a-hole.
I borrowed a Melissa Sue Anderson's book from a co worker and she was really full of herself. Something about actors having a larger role to play as parents than regular people. Allison Anagram's book was really a fun and good read, but she had a lot going on at home as well which was shocking.
The Loneliest Runner was the movie about bedwetting. I remember hearing Michael doing an interview about the movie and he said it was semi autobiographical. It really was a good movie.
I always loved Michael Landon on Little House on the Prairie and on the Highway to Heaven series after. He was a talented actor. He is very much missed to this day.❤😢
He’s in the documentary The Gerson Miracle. He was healing his cancer doing the coffee enemas but as soon as he mentioned it on the tonight show, doctors swooped in and convinced him to take traditional cancer treatments which killed him.
Another great share, thanks, Scott. Wow. Despite being both a true crime fan and a Michael Landon fan, I'd never heard of that shooting incident at Universal and had to look it up. Nathan Trupp is circa 75, still alive and presumably still in prison.
I remember that tv movie about Michael Landon. It was good. It didn’t portray Landon like the saint the public thought he was. The movie showed the divorce and how he really treated his kids. I watched on Amazon, but it has a different title now for some reason.
Well it’s easy too say he didn’t treat someone right after he passed but he can’t defend himself every one his kids except Michael Jr hasn’t said anything negative about Michael Landon Sr just JR has and had a reason money
WOW - neither did I....Due to the size of his crypt, I assumed he was in a casket. He has one of those 'room size' crypts with room for several more caskets in the wall, loads of pictures of him, mementos, etc.) No ego there.
Her ending on the show was an example of Michael Landon’s spite. When she asked to leave the show to pursue other roles, Landon had her character killed off in a fire so she could never return.
My great uncle Floyd worked for the studios and was close to a few actors. When he got killed in an accident with the equipment truck, Michael Landon stopped by his house and gave my great aunt Faye $500 to help with the funeral. Also the guy who played "Hoss" on bonanza sent a big flower arrangement in the shape of a guitar.
Thanks again. I'm joining your Patreon in the beginning of Jan. My suggestion to prevent all families from going through what this family did is to bring in a home transitional team, which you can do through hospice even if your loved one isn't in hospice. We just did this in October with my father, and even though it was only a few days, they were so kind, explained each time he progressed, prevented an aggressive "death rattle" with morphine, and of course the other things you mentioned. It doesn't matter if your family member is a regular Joe or Little Joe. Dignity. Appreciate your work.
What a magnificent obsession, it’s a remarkable collection and a tribute to you for your diligence over the years, thanks so much for sharing it and the considerable insight you have garnered from the cultural, biographical dig that you have undertaken over the years… Just marvelous - thanks!
He’s not alive to defend himself. He was human and flawed, probably rubbed lots of people the wrong way over the years. All I know is the he was dedicated to making the Littie House books come alive for generations. It’s one of the only shows I 💯 trust my daughters watching!! And they love it!! RIP, Michael Landon. Thank you.
I always dislike how they talk about actors and actresses after they’re gone, a lot of it I’m never sure about cause as you said: He’s not here to defend himself! He did a great job with little house too!
Totally agree🙏🏻 My siblings and I (7 of us) grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and we grew up in Simi Valley where they filmed LH. My parents were very strict (mostly my wonderful dad) as he was a narcotics agent for the LAPD. and LH was one of the best shows on TV @ that time for a family to watch together 🤗 It always had such amazing story’s with respect and morals. I still watch it all the time on Pluto TV 🤗 it brings back wonderful memories of growing up and having all my siblings and parents gathered around in our certain spots in the living room every week to watch LH 🥰 and my dad would make a big pot of popcorn before it came on, he could make the best popcorn ever! And my sweet little Italian mama would give us our baths and we’d all be in our pjs and we’d hurry so we could get in our certain favorite spots in the living room before another sibling would steal it😄 It happened all the time! lol We had an amazing childhood that all my siblings say the same as myself.., If we could go back to our childhood, we would❤️
I loved Michael Landon, from watching Highway to Heaven on my cell phone. I was shocked to hear all the negative comments about his short life. He had a traumatic life. Good bye, dear Michael. Suzi Q.😢❤
Michael landon has been gone for 30 years let him rest in peace he always said he wasn't like his tv characters. I still watch lhotp and highway to heaven those were characters he played as far as those who worked with him should have said something while he was still alive and could defend himself. Let him rest in peace
HE WAS BORN SAME YR OF MY DAD, ALWAYS LOVED MICHAEL LANDON , AND YES I SAW THE MOVIE AND IRONICALLY LANCE KERWIN PLAYED MICHAEL LANDON GREAT MOVIE RIP LANCE KERWIN 😢🥀💔🙏
I remember reading a story in National Enquirer a few years ago that a playground in NJ that Michael's wife had donated to after his death, had callously thrown away a plaque with Michael's name and dedication on it.

I was a movie extra in the 80s and one of the projects I worked on was Highway to Heaven. We filmed the episode at Knotts Berry Farm. I was in a few background scenes and was actually told where to sit/stand by Michael. He directed that episode. I can confirm that he definitely swore alot. He was very pleasant otherwise.
ML cut Karen out a lot towards the end but brought her back for the finale. Katherine MacGregor/Harriet Oleson had enough and would not come back, not even for the finale. He really did hurt a lot of the cast by not sharing the wealth.. So sad.
Watched Highway To Heaven when I was a kid, Michael Landon and Victor French had great chemistry. I believe French died right after the series concluded.
My dad collects Studebakers. On our honeymoon 25 years ago in Cancun. The amazing thing was a restaurant, called the same. It was owned by thw Kelley's the last family who was the last to own the rights to the name. Apparently they kept them when they closed it. Anyway I ramble 😂, they let me take load of photos for dad, showed me around, they had the last Avant, which was Micheal Landons. It was parked in their garage in the house they owned there. I still have pictures. If you would like a copy, I will go to his house and dig them up. Most in Turning Wheels know him by Mother Tucker. (Dad)
I love it that not only are you a collector of items but an archivist like I am. I collect very old 78 rpm records and cylinder records from the 1880s to the 1920s but I also try to trace down paper works. when Gloria Caruso daughter of tenor Enrico Caruso was still alive I contacted her via phone and we started talking I wanted to ask her if she had any card de visite of her father and she said we have a trunk full of paper stuff in the attic if you can preserve it it's yours! well, that wasn't what I expected it would cost me a lot to ship it to Europe but boy! I right away sold my motorbike! and paid for shipping one less fake Harley but a ton of history gained it had letters one from Rudolph Valentino and a card de visite from Napoleon Bonaparte and a lot of sketches and caricatures by Caruso and a hell of a lot more way too many to mention. so I get your enthusiasm and drive to preserve history.
I love love your voice. I live in Rhode Island and I first saw you is when I watched Jorden the lion he is the cutest..lol and I beleive he was in your van you did a tour with a few other guys from utube. I heard your tour and I followed you ever since. Maybe one day I will get to meet you but I am greatful for ytube where we can talk to our favorite people to me you are a star/ and I am greatful for all that you do. I didn't realize how much you did and I want to send hugs and love from the littlest state in the USA..most Rhode islanders have big hearts and small pockets..lol❤
Just thought I would say that he probably hadn't had it long before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer its a fast moving cancer that took my grandfather just in 19 days after being diagnosed. RIP Michael Landon
Organize it, auction it, donate to cancer society eBay Also great video you made, Scott It’s pretty amazing he remained handsome throughout his career He was young starting out and managed successful series through his life That is quite an accomplishment
Whether he was a jerk or not, I don’t know, he’s not alive to defend himself, so I’m not going to comment one way or another. Every actor goes through hell before they make it I do know that much. He was a good actor, I do know that much.
I checked out Mark Devlin and his research, post being a DJ, and his findings have thrown up a lot of odd tales of Cedars Sinai hospital and celebrity deaths. It seems there are times when a celebrity might require urgent care and the individuals are swept past nearer hospitals, only to end up dead at Cedars.. His first book, Musical Truth vol. 1 is certainly a starting point for anyone interested in strange goings-on in the entertainment industry and music business in particular.
I remember when Scott, on one of his many 'driving around LA' videos, was driving by Cedars Sinai and listed off the various celebrities that had died there. The list went on for a couple of minutes like a who's who of the Hollywood elites /actors. It was incredible the number of them that have died within those walls !

Landon was abused as a child if you didn't already know.
@@jszoradi8650Yes, I remember when young reading about it then saw the movie which was devastating. I don't blame him at all as I believe she was truly an awful mother and person.
Very interesting! His daughter Jennifer (who screamed from the top of the jungle gym, poor thing) now plays Teeter on Yellowstone.
I think that is the same daughter who won a few Emmys for her work on a soap opera.
I don't think so
Wow didn’t know that.
Sell them as misc files of celeb trivia, don't throw them out. Great stuff!
Another stellar vlog from Scott Michaels. Every one of these you do is always consistently top quality and fascinating.
ideally those files should be saved. electronic media is precarious.
I read Karen Grassle's book and she wasn't a big fan of him either. As far as I remember partly because of money - I think she had asked for more and in revenge he cut her role down. But he was a father figure to Melissa Gilbert, they were very close, though they fell out when he married Cindy, but reconciled before he died.
Wasn't she a drunk?
I am a professional archaeologist. I have been down here for about 44 years, but I'm originally from SoCal, about 15 minutes away by freeway from Hollywood. I'm 65 and 1/2 now, which will probably help you understand my interest in all this stuff. Your channel popped up about a week ago, and I have been subscribed ever since. So very glad you have the news clippings! Definitely sell them if you can't keep them! People think that people like us are weird. Like I said, I'm an archaeologist (PhD). Our interests are different from those of others. God bless, and love your channel! 🤗🇲🇽
Crazy stuff, i probably read 80% of those tabloid papers as a young teenager growing up. My late grandmother used to love those tabloid papers. Wow what a blast looking back at the way we would consume our news back then. Thanks Scott for the trip down memory lane. I loved little Joe Cartwright character on bonanza re-runs
They still sell those cheap tabloids in the supermarkets. Somebody's gotta be buying them.
back then we didn`t realise that they were hiding their buddies crimes and scandals while doing a hatchet job on everyone else!
I used to read them all the time when people like Dolly Parton & Tammy Wynette were in them. Back in the days when celebrities were actually interesting (even if you couldn't believe half of what was written about them) LOL 🙃
Scott this was fascinating & wild !! . What a great idea for new series. Clipping files. Please do more of these 🖤
Some of the costars are speaking out that he was not a nice guy.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing! I ❤love Michael Landon!! I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and my mom and I loved Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven! I still will watch both even now from time to time! I’ve seen both of those Tv movies 🎥!! Rest in Heavenly Peace Michael Landon!
Hahaha. He was a mean drunk to innocent young people on his tv set.. he was a monster.. I was there. No man is a hero
I've read that Michael Landon was TOTALLY against Guy Williams joining the cast of Bonanza after Pernell Roberts ( who played Adam Cartwright) left the series. Even though the Adam character was supposed to get married, the push back from the fans was SO hard that they had the Guy Williams character ( cousin Will Cartwright) leave with Adam's fiancé instead. Michael Landon had a lot to do with that, too, apparently ! I guess he didn't want yet another 'handsome man' in the cast to compete against him for fan letters !
Pernell Roberts was ALWAYS my personal favorite on the show, and once he left ? I left too.
I always liked the Adam Cartwright character. He just came across as the best actor they had on that series. It's no wonder why he left after the 5th yr . Pernell was much more talented and much less egotistical too. He played so many tv & movie roles. My Favorite was Trapper John MD.
@@dmzabo3914 I agree. I heard that when he got the Trapper John part he actually got permission to do some hospital rounds with a real doctor to get familiar with what a good bedside manner looks/feels like. Now that to me is really doing your homework, and getting into your part !
My mother and I always thought Pernell Roberts was the best looking of the brothers.
Pernell was so much better looking than Michael, he was my favorite too
@@dmzabo3914 yes
There is a cancer cluster at the Santa Susana area including Chatsworth and Simi Valley (close to where the filming of the show occurred). There was a nuclear meltdown in 1959, and there is a lot of information about it online. I grew up and went to school in the area and I personally know 4 that have died of rare cancers and have a good childhood friend with stage 4 rare cancer.
I have never heard of the meltdown, that's absolutely frightening.
I used to live close to the Handford Nuclear Site for approximately 20 years, up in Washington State. That kind of thing was always in the back of my mind!
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. So sad.
@@karenleemallonee684 Not only was there a meltdown but Rocketdyne (now Boeing) used to do considerable testing in the area. "In the Dark of the Valley" is one documentary about it. The area is still contaminated and there is ongoing controversy about clean-up. Weird fact-where I went to school was property very close to Spahn ranch and we used to do crafts in a building we were told was used by The Family at one point.
But important to remember too that he drank huge amounts of alcohol and smoked.
That nycklar meltdown definitely doesn't sound safe though.
Micheal Landon did an interview for LIFE magazine in May 1991 about his diagnosis. He admitted he smoked many packs of cigarettes a day for most of his adult life. He said he smoked so deeply that "smoke would come out from his shoes". He also admitted he drank too much and didn't have a very healthy diet. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are among the biggest risk factors for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Glad to see a new fresh post from you. I do admire you for keeping the Hollywood past alive
Thank You for sharing Michael Landon’s death … I remember knowing he died from Pancreatic Cancer but never any details like you shared and didn’t realize he only lived 3 months after diagnosis.
My Uncle died of it but didn’t realize he had it … he lost 30 pounds in one month … and died quickly after he entered hospital! My Aunt said he was in terrible agonizing pain!
I did see his guest appearance on Johnny Carson Show … thank you again! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sad -yes 3-months
My father almost mirrored Landon's illness and death. My father thought he had a bleeding ulcer until April 8th, 1991, his 56th birthday, when they opened my father up for surgery on a bleeding ulcer. However, when they got in, they closed him up. He had pancreatic cancer and was very advanced. After one treatment, my dad said he wanted quality time left, not quantity. We joked with my coffee-drinking truck driver father about the coffee enema treatment. I asked if he wanted cream or sugar with it. My dad lasted a little longer and passed on September 12t2, 1991.
That's very sad. I'm sorry for your loss of your father. 💞
Pancreatic cancer that is a bad one. I went to see a friends dad who had it he ended up dying of it. My uncle's doctor thought he had an ulcer by the time they figured it out, it was cancer and it spread to other organs he died of pancreatic cancer also. I was young and I felt very helpless and pained.
I'm so sorry lost my own dad to cancer and a friend to pancreatic cancer
My mom did the same thing. She bought and saved every single People magazine through the early 2000s that was devoted to a departed celebrity. She has newspaper obituaries for everyone from the mid 60s through the early 90s. I recently found a stack of newspapers from when Elvis died in some of my Uncle's property. I have five or six of them, and they are all in near mint condition. I love stuff like that too.
Thank you Scott for making this mini documentary on Michael Landon. It brought back a lot of memories for me when I worked on a TV movie called Love Is Forever in 1983. Michael Landon was the Executive Producer and starred in the movie with, Jürgen Prochnow, Edward Woodward and Priscilla Presley. I was hired by Hall Bartlett (Director, Producer and Writer). Hall and Michael Landon were in a huge disagreement on the making of the film and by the time we were in Post-Production things started to get very intense. I was in the presence of Michael Landon quite a few times, in the screening room and in the editing room. He was mostly silent, so there wasn't any friendly moments. It was the only film I had worked on that the Executive Producer wasn't introduced to his editing staff and there were no, "Good mornings, thank you, or goodnights." Michael Landon was (in my opinion) not a nice guy. I've seen fist fights in cutting rooms and the people involved would still say, "Thank you, see you tomorrow." I'm sure it had to do with the deep lines forming, we were clearly on Hall's side and that is what made him not want to be friendly toward us. But, there was something beyond that, something not quite right about him. I didn't know all the negative stories about him until I watched this video, now it makes sense to me why he seemed to be unfriendly. Our cutting rooms were at Goldwyn Studios (aka Warner-Hollywood, The Lot) and Hall Bartlett in fear of Michael Landon stealing the film footage, had us pack up the film and editing equipment in the middle of the night and move it across the street on Santa Monica Blvd to a building who rented KEM editing machines. We were told that we couldn't leave our homes and drive directly to work, that we would have to make sure we weren't being followed. One day, I felt I was being followed and I pulled over and they pulled over too. I waited, and then I went back home, which I believed I was still being followed. Within a few days, Lawyers got involved. We kept working under Hall Bartlett to finish the film. Michael Landon was not able to take the film and he wasn't able to make his changes. Because Hall Bartlett was the Director and a Producer on the Film and Michael Landon being the Executive Producer (and Star) didn't legally have the advantage over Hall. The Director's Guild has very strict rules on who is at the helm of a film.
I did feel sorry for Michael Landon because the film was very badly made and I always wondered if Michael Landon was able to make it
the way he wanted it produced, that it might have been a good movie.
Michael seemed to really know his stuff. Maybe that's why he was so pissy.. He could've at least said hello and whatnot though. But I guess being silent is better than being a complete a-hole.
PS- Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing that.
Maybe he was not nice because he thought the film's quality was poor.
I borrowed a Melissa Sue Anderson's book from a co worker and she was really full of herself. Something about actors having a larger role to play as parents than regular people. Allison Anagram's book was really a fun and good read, but she had a lot going on at home as well which was shocking.
The Loneliest Runner was the movie about bedwetting. I remember hearing Michael doing an interview about the movie and he said it was semi autobiographical. It really was a good movie.
I always loved Michael Landon on Little House on the Prairie and on the Highway to Heaven series after. He was a talented actor. He is very much missed to this day.❤😢
He’s in the documentary The Gerson Miracle. He was healing his cancer doing the coffee enemas but as soon as he mentioned it on the tonight show, doctors swooped in and convinced him to take traditional cancer treatments which killed him.
No, he waited too long to see a doctor and this type of cancer is very aggressive. Don't say things that aren't true.
@@victorialawhon2251 I speak the truth. Don’t speak on behalf of a documentary you never watched.
Another great share, thanks, Scott. Wow. Despite being both a true crime fan and a Michael Landon fan, I'd never heard of that shooting incident at Universal and had to look it up. Nathan Trupp is circa 75, still alive and presumably still in prison.
Not a dull moment in the entire presentation. Great episode Scott.
I remember that tv movie about Michael Landon.
It was good.
It didn’t portray Landon like the saint the public thought he was.
The movie showed the divorce and how he really treated his kids.
I watched on Amazon, but it has a different title now for some reason.
I saw that also, I wish I hadn't. Sometimes it's better not to look behind the curtain!
More than 2 movies about him
@@NuffinEditedWhat is the other movie about him?
@@beckigreenyes, would be curious to know
Well it’s easy too say he didn’t treat someone right after he passed but he can’t defend himself every one his kids except Michael Jr hasn’t said anything negative about Michael Landon Sr just JR has and had a reason money
I didn't know he was cremated. Great details to the story. Thank you
WOW - neither did I....Due to the size of his crypt, I assumed he was in a casket. He has one of those 'room size' crypts with room for several more caskets in the wall, loads of pictures of him, mementos, etc.) No ego there.
Are you sure "?? Wow.
I just learned today that Hersha Parady who played Alice Garvey on Little House died August 23.
Her ending on the show was an example of Michael Landon’s spite. When she asked to leave the show to pursue other roles, Landon had her character killed off in a fire so she could never return.
@@mjanovec Michael Landon wanted her to stay on the show.
This was really great. I thoroughly enjoyed the review. I hope you do more of these in the future as you go through your files.
Thankyou Scott loved this .. if you could do more as you have many that would be much appreciated..
Thank you for this. Again, you handled something that some, like me are interested in, with such grace and dignity. ❤
My great uncle Floyd worked for the studios and was close to a few actors. When he got killed in an accident with the equipment truck, Michael Landon stopped by his house and gave my great aunt Faye $500 to help with the funeral. Also the guy who played "Hoss" on bonanza sent a big flower arrangement in the shape of a guitar.
Wow 😞 I’m so sorry about your great Uncle on how he passed😞
Also, thank you for sharing your story on what Michael and Hoss did for your family🙏🏻
@@Kittymay98 thank you..🙂
Ty for sharing these articles of Michael i always loved him great actor he was such a good looking mam🌺🙏🏻🇨🇦gone too soon so young🇨🇦🙏🏻
Well done, Scott. Thank you.⚘
Wow it was good to know all the details of Michael's death and how they got him out of the house. God Bless him and his family.
Jesus would have hated this verbally abusive man.
Great video Scott and I love this channel, and thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks again. I'm joining your Patreon in the beginning of Jan. My suggestion to prevent all families from going through what this family did is to bring in a home transitional team, which you can do through hospice even if your loved one isn't in hospice. We just did this in October with my father, and even though it was only a few days, they were so kind, explained each time he progressed, prevented an aggressive "death rattle" with morphine, and of course the other things you mentioned. It doesn't matter if your family member is a regular Joe or Little Joe. Dignity. Appreciate your work.
Man i lived on Gower and Melrose For 10 years , I regret not taking a tour. You were right around the corner. I'm into this stuff.
Thank you for sharing this Scott. ❤❤❤
Thank you Scott for everything that you do and share ❤
Thank you for watching!
What a magnificent obsession, it’s a remarkable collection and a tribute to you for your diligence over the years, thanks so much for sharing it and the considerable insight you have garnered from the cultural, biographical dig that you have undertaken over the years…
Just marvelous - thanks!
always love and appreciate this channel! Thankyou for always being so informative :)
may his Soul Rest in Peace the Actor Michael Landon
He’s not alive to defend himself. He was human and flawed, probably rubbed lots of people the wrong way over the years. All I know is the he was dedicated to making the Littie House books come alive for generations. It’s one of the only shows I 💯 trust my daughters watching!! And they love it!! RIP, Michael Landon. Thank you.
I always dislike how they talk about actors and actresses after they’re gone, a lot of it I’m never sure about cause as you said: He’s not here to defend himself! He did a great job with little house too!
I thought the same as well. We're not hearing his side of things.
💯 percent
Totally agree🙏🏻
My siblings and I (7 of us) grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and we grew up in Simi Valley where they filmed LH. My parents were very strict (mostly my wonderful dad) as he was a narcotics agent for the LAPD. and LH was one of the best shows on TV @ that time for a family to watch together 🤗 It always had such amazing story’s with respect and morals. I still watch it all the time on Pluto TV 🤗 it brings back wonderful memories of growing up and having all my siblings and parents gathered around in our certain spots in the living room every week to watch LH 🥰 and my dad would make a big pot of popcorn before it came on, he could make the best popcorn ever! And my sweet little Italian mama would give us our baths and we’d all be in our pjs and we’d hurry so we could get in our certain favorite spots in the living room before another sibling would steal it😄 It happened all the time! lol We had an amazing childhood that all my siblings say the same as myself.., If we could go back to our childhood, we would❤️
I loved Michael Landon, from watching Highway to Heaven on my cell phone. I was shocked to hear all the negative comments about his short life. He had a traumatic life. Good bye, dear Michael. Suzi Q.😢❤
So cool Scott. You have such a great collection of celebrity media. Priceless.
I love your videos! Do you have anything on Jonathon Frid or Dark Shadows? Thank you.
Loved that guy❤😊
Me too!
Michael landon has been gone for 30 years let him rest in peace he always said he wasn't like his tv characters. I still watch lhotp and highway to heaven those were characters he played as far as those who worked with him should have said something while he was still alive and could defend himself. Let him rest in peace
Kevin Hagen is dead. He lived in my home hown for many years. I met him once or twice and he was a nice man. Super friendly.
HE WAS BORN SAME YR OF MY DAD, ALWAYS LOVED MICHAEL LANDON , AND YES I SAW THE MOVIE AND IRONICALLY LANCE KERWIN PLAYED MICHAEL LANDON GREAT MOVIE RIP LANCE KERWIN 😢🥀💔🙏
That was an awesome video. Very interesting and original video content. Loved it!
Please don’t shed these old files!! Find someone or someplace that may want them!!!
His grandson was hit by a bus last year and died ..
I had read that, so, so sad! My heart goes out to his Mom & siblings.
So sad
Awesome video bro. He always reminded me of my dad. Sadly my pa passed away June 12th of 91. A month before Michael Landon passed.
Another great story. I always look forward to your videos.❤❤❤❤
I remember reading a story in National Enquirer a few years ago that a playground in NJ that Michael's wife had donated to after his death, had callously thrown away a plaque with Michael's name and dedication on it.
“Remember me with smiles and laughter,
For that’s how I’ll remember you all.
If you can only remember me with tears,
Then don’t remember me at all.”
From LHOTP season 2 episode 7 titled “Remember Me”
I remember him from Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven.
ThuYou, very Much for All Of information About (Michael Landon and his Family).It's Hard To Listen To His Bad Attitude, about People And 🧬 Life.REST IN HEAVENLY Paradise 🙏🏽🕊️🙏🏽 IN The ARMS OF Almighty GOD.✝️🕊️✝️REST ""MICHAEL LANDON""🌹🕊️🌹
I love your Tab truck in the background. I drank Tab back in the 60s and 70s. I wish it was still around. It had its own taste. Love Tab!!!
Tab tasted like garbage I tried to drink it ,thank God for diet coke
@8:03 Michael Landon’s son Chris is gorgeous. Now that’s what you call a good looking white man.
It really sucked to hear how horrible Michael Landon was in real life. I've seen/read several stories about his drunken evil temper and attitude.
I was a movie extra in the 80s and one of the projects I worked on was Highway to Heaven. We filmed the episode at Knotts Berry Farm. I was in a few background scenes and was actually told where to sit/stand by Michael. He directed that episode. I can confirm that he definitely swore alot. He was very pleasant otherwise.
Pernell Roberts did the eulogy at Michael Landon’s funeral
Melissa Gilbert gave the eulogy, not Pernell Roberts.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Pernell also did it
Pernell gave the Eulogy at Victor Sen Young's (Hop Sing) funeral and he paid for his funeral!@@8catmom
Because the sheets were outside, he would run home as fast as he could to take them in.
Speaking of Kevin Hagen, I think the same thing happened with Karen Grassle (Ma Wilder).
She was drunk for most of her scenes, so they both a hot mess.
ML cut Karen out a lot towards the end but brought her back for the finale. Katherine MacGregor/Harriet Oleson had enough and would not come back, not even for the finale.
He really did hurt a lot of the cast by not sharing the wealth.. So sad.
@@DianeNivens I don't know why they're complaining because they all got residuals from the show.
Ma ingalls
@@katemaloney4296Karen Grassle was drunk in her scenes?
Watched Highway To Heaven when I was a kid, Michael Landon and Victor French had great chemistry. I believe French died right after the series concluded.
He actually died before the final episodes aired.
Victor's cancer took him fast, too.
Yes, so very sad😞 Michael and Victor where best friends and I’m sure Victor was right there to greet Michael 🙏🏻
Thank you Scott ❤
My dad collects Studebakers. On our honeymoon 25 years ago in Cancun. The amazing thing was a restaurant, called the same. It was owned by thw Kelley's the last family who was the last to own the rights to the name. Apparently they kept them when they closed it. Anyway I ramble 😂, they let me take load of photos for dad, showed me around, they had the last Avant, which was Micheal Landons. It was parked in their garage in the house they owned there. I still have pictures. If you would like a copy, I will go to his house and dig them up. Most in Turning Wheels know him by Mother Tucker. (Dad)
I love Pernell Roberts
I love it that not only are you a collector of items but an archivist like I am.
I collect very old 78 rpm records and cylinder records from the 1880s to the 1920s but I also try to trace down paper works.
when Gloria Caruso daughter of tenor Enrico Caruso was still alive I contacted her via phone and we started talking I wanted to ask her if she had any card de visite of her father and she said we have a trunk full of paper stuff in the attic if you can preserve it it's yours!
well, that wasn't what I expected it would cost me a lot to ship it to Europe but boy! I right away sold my motorbike! and paid for shipping one less fake Harley but a ton of history gained it had letters one from Rudolph Valentino and a card de visite from Napoleon Bonaparte and a lot of sketches and caricatures by Caruso and a hell of a lot more way too many to mention.
so I get your enthusiasm and drive to preserve history.
I love love your voice. I live in Rhode Island and I first saw you is when I watched Jorden the lion he is the cutest..lol and I beleive he was in your van you did a tour with a few other guys from utube. I heard your tour and I followed you ever since. Maybe one day I will get to meet you but I am greatful for ytube where we can talk to our favorite people to me you are a star/ and I am greatful for all that you do. I didn't realize how much you did and I want to send hugs and love from the littlest state in the USA..most Rhode islanders have big hearts and small pockets..lol❤
I hope you are well and going to show us around when we get to America xxxx love your channel ❤❤❤❤😂
I absolutely LOVE your videos!..I wish I would’ve had the chance to meet you when I lived in L.A.
Just thought I would say that he probably hadn't had it long before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer its a fast moving cancer that took my grandfather just in 19 days after being diagnosed. RIP Michael Landon
Organize it, auction it, donate to cancer society
eBay
Also great video you made, Scott
It’s pretty amazing he remained handsome throughout his career
He was young starting out and managed successful series through his life
That is quite an accomplishment
Meet Allison, Dean, and the cast of LHOTP last weekend in Cadiz Ky
Whether he was a jerk or not, I don’t know, he’s not alive to defend himself, so I’m not going to comment one way or another. Every actor goes through hell before they make it I do know that much. He was a good actor, I do know that much.
You should cover Sean Penn’s brother sometime!
Why
Wasn't Sean Penn on Little House once? One of the kids
😊❤Thanks Scott
I'd forgotten he was only 54.
Me too! Only 4 years older than I am now. Unreal to me. 😥
He didn’t deserve more than 24
Thank you! ❤
Thank you for sharing.
Wow didn't know a lot of this stuff. Thanks, Scott. Landon was no Hugh Beaumont, that's fo sho.
I checked out Mark Devlin and his research, post being a DJ, and his findings have thrown up a lot of odd tales of Cedars Sinai hospital and celebrity deaths.
It seems there are times when a celebrity might require urgent care and the individuals are swept past nearer hospitals, only to end up dead at Cedars..
His first book, Musical Truth vol. 1 is certainly a starting point for anyone interested in strange goings-on in the entertainment industry and music business in particular.
I remember when Scott, on one of his many 'driving around LA' videos, was driving by Cedars Sinai and listed off the various celebrities that had died there. The list went on for a couple of minutes like a who's who of the Hollywood elites /actors. It was incredible the number of them that have died within those walls !
My grandma is 95 & will be 96 on February 1st & her number 1 heart throb till this day is still Michael Landon
Good work, appreciate the info!
