I agree with you. All you said is true. I do believe He was the hottest man that ever lived. I have not found any other man that I loved as much as Michael Landon. I would like to add. That Michael Landon once said Himeself NO ONE is perfect. I think if He would of lived his life like He did on screen, He would of been perfect... But that is not possible because the only one on earth that has ever been perfect is Jesus Christ!

>>Michael Landon personified on screen the ideal 'man',
>>in that Little House and Highway portrayed him as
>>gentle,kind,loving,forgiving etc,etc,... but alas
>>that was celuoid fantasy. In real life he drank, and
>>smoked heavily, had 2 or 3 failed marriages and even
>>in his will did not divide his estate equally between
>>all his children, causing some resentment after his
>>death. He obviously did not lead the angelic life of
>>his screen parts in thes 2 series. He was just an
>>ordinary man, although talented actor/producer, with
>>the same weaknesses as all the rest of us, so lets not
>>put him on a pedestal!
