Melissa Gilbert started her career as a child actor. She gained prominence at just 10 years of age, playing Laura Ingalls Wilder, the second oldest daughter of Charles Ingalls (played by Michael Landon) in the NBC series Little House on the Prairie.
The late actor and filmmaker Landon played the role of her father for nine years, and it turns out to have stemmed from personal relationships. In a recent interview with People, Gilbert talks about her special bond with the co-star.
The interview happened during the 50th anniversary celebration of Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion and Festivals. Gilbert revealed that Landon was a father figure for not just her but the majority of the cast.
The Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival lasted three days (March 22, 23 & 24). It was an interactive experience and tour celebrating the TV series and providing fans with a unique opportunity.
“Michael Landon was like a father figure to many of us, obviously, and a very, very important influence in my life,” says Gilbert, explaining her own experiences in fatherhood.
She revealed that her father passed away when she was 11 years of age, and it was while working on the series. Therefore, the actress says Landon watched over her in a much more paternal way.
Gilbert added that they had become very close and that their family had also vacationed together. They also celebrated New Year’s together.
Landon seems to have tried to fill the void of Gilbert’s missing father, and the actress appreciates the effort. She remembers him to this date as a great man and a great father figure.
Melissa Gilbert remembers Michael Landon as a great person
Apart from being a great ‘father figure,’ Gilbert also reveals that Landon was special to other members of the cast as well. Landon was a very giving person and went above and beyond for people close to him.
Gilbert remembers Landon giving amazing presents to his cast members. He would also announce the Rose Parade for NBC for free, and instead of the money, he would give Christmas gifts to the cast.

Not only that, but Gilbert also contributes to the success of the program for Landon. She says, “It blows my mind that all of this is because of him. These people are here because he wrote this show and directed it and produced it, and I know that he would be incredibly proud if he could see this.”
Unfortunately, the actor died in 1991 due to pancreatic cancer. She ended the interview by saying, “This is a legacy. A hundred percent.”
Although it’s been 50 years since the release of Little House on the Prairie, the show and its cast are equally famous. The show started in 1974 with popular main cast members like Landon, Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson, Sidney Greenbush, and Dean Butler.
Back in 2022, Gilbert remembered the actor on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of his death. She wrote a heartfelt essay through PanCAN, which is a charity fund for people affected by the disease.
“Today I am missing my mentor, my acting partner, my favorite director, father figure, friend, and boss. Today I am missing my Pa. Today I am missing Michael Landon. So much so, that I can feel it in my chest, in my heart. I am aching for him,” she says.
All About Michael Landon
Gilbert’s ‘father figure’ Landon was an American actor and filmmaker who is known for his role in the hit series Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven.
He was born on October 31, 1936, as Eugene Maurice Orowitz in Forest Hills, New York. He was the son of Peggy and Eli Maurice Orowitz. His father was Jewish, and his mother was Roman Catholic who used to be a professional comedian.
Landon’s childhood was marked by challenges, including his mother’s suicide attempts, which led to stress-related issues such as bedwetting. He attended Collingswood High School in New Jersey and showed talent in javelin throwing.

Despite initially pursuing athletics with a scholarship offer from the University of Southern California, Landon shifted towards show business after a shoulder injury ended his athletic career. He then began appearing in various television shows and movies, gradually building his acting career.
He then gained huge recognition through his role in the series Bonanza, where he was also a writer and director. After his role in the series, he went on to appear as the main cast of the series The Little House on the Prairie, where he is also the executive producer, director, and writer.
During his lifetime, the actor has been married three times and also has 9 children. Among his children, 5 of his children are active in the entertainment industry; Mark Fraser Landon, Leslie Ann Landon, Michael Landon Jr., Christopher Beau Landon, and Jennifer Rachel Landon.
Landon suffered a severe headache during a skiing vacation in 1991. After the checkup, he was diagnosed with a severe form of pancreatic cancer known as exocrine adenocarcinoma.
He did several surgeries and procedures during that time, but his disease was terminal. He passed away on July 1 at the age of 54 years, in his Malibu house at 1:20 pm with his wife at his bedside.

Zendaya Is Thriving – Inside ‘Dune 2’ Star’s Life and Some Remarkable Fashion Moments
Zendaya—there’s hardly any millennial or Gen Z with a social media presence who doesn’t know the name. She is currently one of the most…

Zendaya—there’s hardly any millennial or Gen Z with a social media presence who doesn’t know the name. She is currently one of the most prominent celebrities in the West, and she owes a big chunk of that attention to her fashion sense. With Dune 2’s success and Challengers lined up to release in 2024, Zendaya is as busy as ever.
Zendaya is popular for her role as a disturbed teen addict, Rue, from the show Euphoria and as the latest Mary Jane in the Spiderman franchise, where she is seen alongside her beau, Tom Holland. Despite being the youngest Primetime Emmy-winning actor in a lead role, Zendaya is a woman of many talents, one of which is to serve looks.
Zendaya was recently seen in London for the premiere of her new film Dune 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Dune, which was released in October 2021. Given her track record of serving looks on every red carpet that she marks her presence on, her costume was one for the books.
Thousands of fans who were on the lookout for her look were not left disappointed.
Zendaya stunned the red carpet to the premiere with Mugler’s suit of armor known as Machine Human. The shiny silver suit is from Mugler’s Fall-Winter 1995-96 collection. It is an artistically crafted semi-nude armor from the Mugler archive, and the actress carried it beautifully.
Given that the theme of her new release revolves along the line of sci-fi meets magic, the futuristic armor was a daring yet appropriate choice for the premiere.

While the original piece featured the model with a matching headpiece with the armor and a long black cape, Zendaya’s devoted stylist, Law Roach, played around with the intricacies and replaced the headpiece and the cape with a pair of matching silver gloves and a Bvlgari necklace. Needless to say, the actress looked mechanical and divine.
She later changed into a more comfortable look with Mugler’s black draped dress from the designer’s Fall 2024 collection. The simple yet classic look was accessorized with a pair of vintage Bvlgari earrings and everyone’s favorite Louboutins.

While the armor was a definitive standout fit, Zendaya has had various other noteworthy looks in her book as she promotes her new release. From the custom Louis Vuitton gold look in Paris to the custom Torishéju look in Mexico City, Zendaya remains the queen of the red carpet, all while following the theme of her latest project.
Zendaya may seem like a look-serving machine addicted to slaying her red-carpet outfits, but there’s no denying that she owes many of her fashion moments to her longtime stylist, Law Roach.
Who is Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach?
Roach and Zendaya share a long-term collaboration that extends over 10 years. Roach comments that his collaboration with Zendaya has been fruitful for both of their careers and that he is proud to have a creative counterpart where there is a lot of faith, trust, and experimentation—the ideals of fashion.
We cannot, however, discuss Zendaya’s fashion dominance without mentioning her iconic Cinderella moment from Met Gala 2019.
The Met Gala is New York’s most exclusive event, taking place every year on the first Monday of May. Each year hundreds of celebrities mark their presence at the Gala with a line of exquisite designer wear, making it the most anticipated fashion event of the year. The Gala is an invite-only event, with Vogue’s CEO Anna Wintour making the final call.
The Met Gala serves as a platform for both emerging and established designers to showcase their designs according to the theme. The attendees wear designer outfits and walk through the dreamy carpets, showcasing the artists’ vision to hundreds of photographers gathered right below the infamous Met staircase, as celebrities make their way through the steps of the Met.
The theme for the 2019 Met Gala was ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion,’ and the year saw some of the best Met Gala appearances by multiple A-listers. Zendaya, along with Roach, appeared in a custom Tommy Hilfiger Cinderella gown.
As divine as the gown was on its own, the look went off the charts when Roach, with a couple of waves from his wand and a wisp of smoke, made the dress glow up like a Christmas tree! 8 The final result was a dreamy, magical look taking us on a nostalgic ride to the world of fantasies and fairy tales, and it really happened.
Some of Zendaya’s other iconic looks include
1. Custom Emerald Green Vera Wang Gown with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit that she wore to the Emmy Awards in 2019.

2. The Chocolate Brown Giambattista Valli gown, with a theatric train and a voluminous skirt which she wore to the 2018 Oscars.

3. Hot pink two-piece outfit from Tom Ford with a metallic crop top and a floor length skirt which she wore to the 2020 Critics’ Choice Award.

As a child actor who started out at Nickelodeon, Zendaya has already had a long career in the entertainment industry. However, if we follow her style and fashion choices through the early 2000s, we can observe that her journey in fashion, like any other celebrity, has not been exempt from some faux pas. She has indeed come a long way.
A lot of this credit goes to her stylist, Roach, which Zendaya makes clear by acknowledging his importance in her career, especially in fashion, every chance she gets. The bond seems to be strong, and the partnership seems to be working fine for both of us.
Zendaya’s knack for creativity and an unfettered choice in fashion has established her as a fashion/global icon at the young age of 27. Her impeccable taste in style, along with her ability to experiment and take risks with different ideas and designs, contribute to her iconic looks.
While clothes, accessories, and makeup do add a materialistic advantage to Zendaya’s already conventionally perfect features, the confidence she emits as she walks along the carpet truly makes her a woman of magnetic presence.

Taylor Russell is a talented Canadian actress who has already marked her name in the entertainment industry. She is well-known for her portrayal of Judy Robinson in the Netflix show Lost in Space (2018-21).
Other than that, she is also well-known for her performances in Falling Skies (2015), Waves (2019), Escape Room (2019), Words on Bathroom Walls (2020), and Escape Room 2 (2021).
As the professional life of the actress is no secret, what the people are more invested in is knowing other less-known facts about her. And, one of that is her love life details.
Who Is Taylor Russell Dating?
The present relationship status of the Vancouver, British Columbia native actress is unknown. It seems like Russell is currently single and giving more of her focus towards her career.
The possibility of her being single comes after going through various reports from different online news outlets that state the same. To this date, the actress has not opened up on anything about her personal life.
Additionally, she also hasn’t given any hint on whom she might be dating via her social media handles. She has only shared limited pictures mostly of/alongside her friends and families, and images related to her profession.
However, if that’s not the case and if she does have a boyfriend, then Russell has done an incredible job in keeping her relationship a secret, away from the eyes of the public as well as the paparazzi.
Taylor Russel’s Relationship with Lucas Hedges
In the 2019 movie, Waves, Russell played the role of Emily Williams. Accompanying her in the male lead role was actor Lucas Hedges who portrayed the role of Luke.
The American romance-drama movie’s plot revolved around modern family issues and relationships. Its synopsis is “Traces the journey of a suburban family – led by a well-intentioned but domineering father – as they navigate love, forgiveness, and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.”
In the movie, Hedges’ character was shown as Russell’s love interest. Due to their amazing chemistry in the movie, many viewers believed that they were dating each other in real life.
However, all of the speculations were wrong as they weren’t in a relationship. Russell and Hedges were only friends and talented actors who portrayed their characters very well. Although the rumors were wrong, the one thing it proved was how amazing performers Russell and Hedges are.
Quick Look Into Russell’s Bio
Hailing from the suburbs of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Russell was born in 1994. She celebrates her birthday on the 18th of July every year, making her 27 years of age.
As per her date of birth, her zodiac sign is Cancer. She stands at an average height of 5 feet 4½ inches or 1.64 meters.

While one of her brother’s names is Mason, the other one’s is undisclosed. Additionally, the details of her parents are also not disclosed.
Initially, she was raised by her parents in Vancouver, but later they settled down in Toronto, where Russell spent most of her childhood and teenage years.

Did Sydney Sweeney Undergo Plastic Surgery? Truth Behind The Rumors
Sydney Sweeney is a talented American actress who came to the height of her career after portraying the role of Cassie Howard in HBO Max’s…

Sydney Sweeney is a talented American actress who came to the height of her career after portraying the role of Cassie Howard in HBO Max’s critically acclaimed drama Euphoria. She has been playing the role since the show’s initiation in 2020.
She gave an amazing performance and allured the audience through her portrayal of a teenage character in the show. Cassie in Euphoria has a lot of sexual shenanigans and goes through a lot of relationship trauma.
Speaking more about the show, it deals with different sets of grief, emotional drama, drugs, sex, sexuality, and violence. It also has a lot of nudity, and some prying eyes were keen enough to notice Sweeney’s physical appearance.
And for someone as beautiful and charming as her, the internet was forced to ask some tough questions. Two of them were: “Are Sydney Sweeney’s boobs real?” and “Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts real?” Here is what we know!
Does Sydney Sweeney have a breast implant?
One of the other reasons the topic of Sweeney possibly having a boob job started gaining hype was when she became an ambassador for Rihanna‘s Savage x Fenty underwear line.
She became an ambassador on June 22, 2020. On the same day, she announced the news via Instagram by sharing a picture of herself donning an outfit from the underwear line.
Following that, she shared more pictures to advertise more of her involvement in the underwear line. And those pictures also showed her physical beauty, including her breasts.
So, coming back to the topic: Does Sweeney have a breast implant? Did she undergo a boob job?
The answer to that question remains unknown to this date. Similarly, Sweeney hasn’t confirmed or denied these speculations. Again, however, it’s highly unlikely that she has a breast implant.
Sydney Sweeney believes the media’s biggest misconception about her is her boobs and hair
In October 2021, The White Lotus actress was featured on the cover of Wonderland Magazine’s Fall 2021 Issue.
In her feature, she candidly talked about several things. First, she was asked what the biggest misconception about her in the media was at one point.
At first, she didn’t exactly say it as she was on an 18-hour road trip with her father, Scott Sweeney. “I’m trying to work out how to word it because I know exactly what I want to say, but I’m sitting in the car with my dad right now,” she laughingly said.
But, after that, she mustered the courage and said, “Okay, it’s that I have big boobs, I’m blonde, and that’s all I have.”
In the same interview, she had also talked about pursuing a career in other fields of the entertainment industry while also being an actress. Some of the areas she was interested in exploring were writing, directing, or entertainment law.
Sydney Sweeney is proud of her work in ‘Euphoria’
In June 2019, Sweeney, whose height is 5 feet 3½ inches (1.61 meters), shared a lot of insight on her works in Euphoria during a conversation with HuffPost in a Build Series interview.
She first mentioned that she was initially nervous and hesitant when it was time to shoot her nude scenes. She even had a long conversation with her mother, Lisa Mudd Sweeney, on the same topic.
However, she eventually did the job and told HuffPost that she was very proud of her work on a project that wasn’t afraid to go to that limit to tell the stories truthfully. “The thing about the nudity in this show is that it’s not glamorized. It’s not, ‘Oh, here’s a pair of tits.’ It’s just real.”

“I had to look at the whole picture of the entirety of the show, and I just fell in love with the rawness and the situations and the emotions that all these characters go through.”
She continued, “I always tend to find things that scare me and there hasn’t been a TV show that has really represented a real look at growing up today, and I wanted to be a part of something like that.”
Furthermore, she stated that she fell in love with the arc of her character Cassie. She said, “If many people would read the page, you’d see the stereotypical blonde, sexual, popular, teenage girl. But really, there’s so many layers to her and she’s gone through so much.”
Has Sydney Sweeney done plastic surgery?
Another raising question among the public is if the 24-year-old Spokane, Washington native has gone through plastic surgery.
The plastic surgery talks were initiated after fans saw some differences in Sweeney’s before and after pictures. The notable changes that fans noticed were: 1) Loss of facial fat. 2) A subtle facelift. 3) Little change in her nose, possibly due to a nose job.

So, how true are all of these speculations? Did the actress go under the knives to enhance her beauty? Or are all of these talks just speculation?
The answer to all of these questions is still unknown. Sweeney hasn’t talked about going through plastic surgery, and without an official confirmation, nothing much could be said about it.
Thus, this gossip remains limited to rumors only – just like the talks of her having a boob job. Nonetheless, given how deadly plastic surgery or a boob job can prove to be, it doesn’t seem like Sweeney would take such a high risk.
It could only be said that she glamours her fans with her natural looks, which is enough. Furthermore, on Euphoria, her character looks even more appealing due to the incredible art of makeup.
