7. Michael Landon Could Make People Cry On Cue
One of the most difficult parts of acting is being able to cry on cue. Even adult actors struggle with being able to do so at time, so imagine how hard it could be for a child actor.
Michael Landon (Charles), had the uncanny ability to get the child actors on the show to cry when the script called for them to. Melissa Gilbert (Laura), once described how he would make himself get all emotional before he came up to her and said “Do you know how much I love you?” Gilbert said that she’d instantly get emotional in response, and they were able to capture her reaction for the scene.
Just think about that the next time you watch an emotional scene on the show!
