Well, once I saw Michael Jackson turning white, his turning 50 wasn’t so odd.

Eugene Maurice Orowitz (aka Michael Landon) would be 73 now had he lived. The son was adopted.

Reading the article, it said Michael Landon died in 1991 at age 54. That would have made him about 72 if he was still alive. Was Michael Landon a father at 12 years old? I doubt it. It looks like the writer of the article should have verified the dates.

Anyway, it is sad that both father and son are now gone.

Something is wrong with this. Michael Landon was born in Oct 1936. If he were alive today he would be 72. I seriously doubt he was a father at age 12.

My guess is that they missed his son’s age by 10 years.

The nuns told us we’d all be 33 in Heaven, Jesus’ age at “death”.

I suspect the Wikipedia info was based upon Landon’s publicity sheet. He always looked younger than he was and tended to be cast accordingly.

I had the exact same reaction. Guess Michael Landon will never be older than 30 in my mind.

maybe the girls should learn how to post them. Posting photos is actually easy. go to http://photobucket.com/ sign up for a free accnt. use the browse button to find the pics you want to post on your computer, or from a web page. click upload. photobucket will give you an address—— http://whatever.jpg when you want to post on FR use this html code in front of your pic address You now have pics available. You might want to open a notepad window to save your pic addresses, and the html codes for posting them Paste your pic address between the “” and you are good to go! Please try to post small pics (1 mb or less) as it burns badwdth, and those of us stuck in dial up land wont be able to view them.

Little House is on the Hallmark Channel in the daytime. Bring back Dallas.

He looked good 10 years ago (for his age).

In your 80s you have very few choices not to look odd.
