Sigh.
Gad, if Michael Landon were still alive, I would have guessed he’d be in his sixties by now. But to have a son that age... wow, Landon was older than I thought.
Stunning that his son was 60! Wow. I thought he would be about 40-45. Guess I’m getting old.
Adopted.
Per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Landon, Michael Landon was born in 1936. So he’d be 73 today. He was a father at 13? ...Um... This son must have been adopted.
Okay, I’m old.
Michael Landon was born 31 October, 1936 — that would make him 73.

The child was adopted, so I guess Michael was a young adult and the kid in his teens?
I was about to say that... He sure started young.
Wow! I was in love with Michael Landon. Does that mean he’d be around 80 if he were alive today?
>>Wow. I thought he would be about 40-45. Guess I’m getting old.
Michael Landon was only 55 when he died so we still see him that way IMHO.
He was 20, kid was 8 when he married his mother.
Yeah, that’s more shocking than Michael Jackson turning 50.
Well, the truth is truthguy, we are ALL getting old. I’m a college student now and had a pair of shoes fall apart in class - they were loafers I bought about 20 plus years ago. One of the kids was laughing with me about it and I said, “These shoes are older than you honey.”
Born in ‘36. 72
I know how he feels.
73 and probably still good looking like Tony Curtis has been in his latter years.
Thanks. Noted it from other posts after I posted. That makes me feel a little better. I wish they’d bring back shows like Bonanza or Little House on the Prairie. Everything is reality shows and I don’t need to watch reality, I LIVE it.
kinda like I felt when I realized I saw 3 generations of Boones play baseball then retire.
