00:00 On the set of Little House on the Prairie, the actors found themselves outside of the

00:05 set on multiple occasions.

00:07 That's how Charles Ingalls actor Michael Landon fell in love with his makeup artist,

00:12 Cindy Clerico.

00:14 But his son also dated a cast member from the popular series, Melissa Gilbert, who played

00:19 Charles' daughter Laura.

00:21 We'll tell you how this happy love came about.

00:25 Melissa and her theatrical dad weren't just co-workers.

00:29 After the death of Melissa's father, Michael Landon became something of a surrogate father

00:34 figure for the child star.

00:37 Our relationship was very close, and it grew even deeper when my father passed away.

00:42 Our families got close.

00:45 We went on vacation to Hawaii together every Easter.

00:49 In addition, they often spent weekends together.

00:53 Then the actress adds, "His son Mike Jr. was my prom date.

00:59 Michael Landon Jr. is the same age as Melissa."

01:03 He also starred alongside his father and later girlfriend in an episode of Little House on

01:08 the Prairie in the mid-70s.

01:11 About five years later, Melissa and Mike made public appearances as a couple.

01:17 However, their relationship did not last long.

01:21 Michael married his wife Sherry Gregory in 1987 and Melissa married her first husband

01:26 Bo Brinkman a year later.

01:28 While the actress of Laura is still in front of the camera today, Michael Landon Jr. now

01:33 works primarily as a director, producer, and screenwriter.
