Fans can’t believe who the director of the new horror movie Drop is related to.<\/p>\n

He is the offspring of one of the major stars of the long-running frontier saga Little House On The Prairie from the 1970s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turns out Christopher Landon is the son of Michael Landon and Lynn Noe.<\/p>\n

Michael played Charles Ingalls on the series from 1974 until 1983.<\/p>\n

After that Michael starred on another hit series, Highway To Heaven, from 1984 until 1989. And early in his career he was on the TV series Bonanza.<\/p>\n

Michael died in 1991 at the age of 54.<\/p>\n

Christopher, 50, has worked as a screenwriter on the thriller Disturbia and most of the films in the Paranormal Activity found-footage horror series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He wrote and made his directorial debut on the satirical thriller film Burning Palms (2010).<\/p>\n

Fans have taken to Christopher’s Instagram to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re Michael’s son, wow,’ and, ‘You don’t look like him except for that smile, which is cool.’<\/p>\n

Christopher’s sister is\u00a0Jennifer Landon is also in show business.<\/p>\n

She plays foul-mouthed, pink-haired Teeter on the smash hit series Yellowstone.<\/a><\/p>\n

Her west Texas<\/a> accent is so thick she is comically difficult to comprehend at times, much to the amusement of Cole Hauser’s strongman Rip Wheeler.<\/p>\n

But in real life, Jennifer is far from a west Texas wildcat.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old actress is actually from Malibu, is from a Hollywood family and grew up around TV sets, even acting as a child on a popular show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jennifer’s mother, Cindy Landon, also worked on Little House On The Prairie: she was a makeup artist on set.<\/p>\n

Michael and Cindy were wed from 1983 until 1991.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael divorced his second wife, Lynn Noe, and married Cindy in in Malibu in February 1983.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy was pregnant with Jennifer at the time.\u00a0They welcomed a son, Sean, in 1986.\u00a0<\/span>Before Michael met Cindy, he was married twice.<\/p>\n

His first marriage was to Dodie Levy-Fraser, and he adopted her son, then they had a son of their own. His second wife was Lynn with whom he had five kids.\u00a0He fathered five children with his second wife, Lynn.<\/p>\n

‘It is devastating beyond comprehension to lose a parent, especially at an early age,’ she told the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.<\/p>\n

‘When dad was fighting the disease, Sean was too young to understand. I understood more; I knew if he was doing well or not well on any given day.’<\/p>\n

She added, ‘When he passed away, I suddenly saw things differently and questioned everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Even today I question rules and structure. I can’t say how much his death has affected me, but I know it’s a significant part of the fabric of who I am.’<\/p>\n

Jennifer has acted for many years.<\/p>\n

She is also known for her role as Gwen Norbeck Munson in the CBS soap opera As the World Turns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Landon played dual roles on As the World Turns; her regular character Gwen Norbeck Munson, and a lookalike named Cleo Babbitt. Landon left the show in 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jennifer won three Daytime Emmys for her work.<\/p>\n

She has also appeared on House in 2011, Chicago Med in 2017, The Resident in 2018 and The Orville in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
