My interview with Alison Arngrim - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey everyone. I had the chance to interview Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson. She is a very nice person, and answers questions very well! So here is one of the answers to my questions that she said I could post.

Q: Was Michael Landon hard to work with?

A:Oh no. He was strict about certain stuff, (but then you do have to know your lines, don't you?), but he was very funny and liked working with kids. He always told you exactly what he wanted in a scene, you didn't have to "guess" like with some directors, (where they don't tell you anything, then yell at you for not readng their minds), and he wasn't stuck up. He ate with the crew and on days when we were crowded on location and had to double up in dressing rooms, he'd share his with Victor French.

-She says her favorite episode is "Bunny".

-She and Melissa Gilbert were friends off camera, and still are today.

Wow! Hey, thanks for posting this.

In television interviews and from reading through her website, it's easy to see that she was nothing like Nellie. Always a treat to see her. She's someone I have a lot of respect and admiration for.
