00:00 Melissa Gilbert's career took off with Little House on the Prairie in 1974.

00:05 At the age of only 10, she was discovered by Michael Landon and undertook the role of

00:10 Laura Ingalls.

00:12 She saw Michael as a father figure, as her adoptive father died only a year later.

00:17 The series ran for nine seasons from 1974 to 1983.

00:22 Sadly, Michael Landon passed away far too early at just 54 years old as a result of

00:48 I love you so much."

00:50 So after all these years, Melissa Gilbert is still thinking about Michael Landon, the
