Yellowstone and Little House on the Prairie may not seem to have a lot in common, but the two shows share a connection.
Long before Yellowstone was the ruling Western/rural drama that swept the hearts of audiences nationwide, there was another long-running series that held the title. While not your traditional Western , Little House on the Prairie certainly appealed to rural audiences similarly to how Yellowstone does now, albeit with a "family values" mindset rather than the political "hoo blah" the Paramount series suggests.
Unlike some of her siblings, Jen Landon didn't ever appear on Little House. The actress wouldn't officially begin her acting career until the 21st century, and since the long-running series went off the air in the early '80s, she never had the chance. Though, she did appear in one of the final episodes of her father's next series following Little House, Highway to Heaven, where she played a little girl.
In his time on Little House, Landon became a household name. The series' commitment to family values, simple living, and it's over-all feel-good attitude was a marker of its success, and is why the series still appears regularly on reruns today. But following the three Little House made-for-TV follow-ups, Landon shifted from the Western genre to something more spiritual set in modern day .
Jen Landon is Following In Her Father's Footsteps In addition to Jen and Mark, Michael Landon had seven other children, including actress Leslie Landon , filmmaker Christopher Landon , and filmmaker Michael Landon, Jr., who created the Love Comes Softly and When Calls The Heart franchises for Hallmark. Understandably, Landon's work in the film industry paved the way for his children to continue the Landon name in Hollywood, either as writers, directors, or actors.
