Arngrim said she agreed that Landon was a world away from the wholesome family loving farmer portrayed on the hit show. The 59-year-old actress spoke to after former co-star Karen Grassle, Landon's on-screen wife, accused the late TV star of refusing to pay her a 'fair wage', mocking her body, and making 'disgusting' jokes about sex, in her upcoming autobiography. Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson in the hit 1970s show, said although she thought Landon was a 'marvelous' person, he was also 'manic', 'drank, smoked' told 'terrible jokes' and propagated a 'Mad Men' sexist and booze-drinking culture on set. Little House on the Prairie's leading man Michael Landon may have portrayed a wholesome family man on screen, but in reality, the actor was 'more mad, bad, and dangerous to know', according to a former co-star.
