Michael Landon may have passed away over 30 years ago, but his legacy certainly lives on, thanks to his acting roles in classic TV series like ‘Bonanza‘, ‘Little House on the Prairie‘, and ‘Highway to Heaven’.
Though, while many of us would remember him as a familiar face on our screens, he was also a doting husband and loving father whose ultimate goal was to ensure he bonded with his children.
Perhaps his desire to be the best parent to his kids stemmed from the fact Landon’s own childhood was tumultuous – his mother struggled immensely with her mental health. Landon even saved her life after she attempted suicide on several different occasions.
