I couldn't find anything with pictures, even on the Oregon pbs site. The older man looks a little like the real Pa, without the beard. The older woman looks a little like a matronly Dyan Cannon, if you're familiar with her. Plump, round face, blondish hair, but not real light.
The younger man is quite fair, blonde hair, blue eyes, almost Scandanavian looking. His wife reminds me a little of Holly Hunter. She's short, brown hair, not beautiful, but nice face. Has a very determined attitude.
The men have their differences, but being men, they don't say as much or let it get to them. Women need company more than men, I think, so that's probably part of it.
The women dress in plaid shirts and denim coveralls sometimes. Those clothes were around back then, but I wonder if women wore them. Maybe they did in such an isolated homesteading situation.
I don't know why the producers let the "outsiders" come in as often as they did for as long as they did. There's a lot more outside help in general, as with hiring people to do break up the soil and cut the hay. Maybe it's because these people are really going to spend the winter there, whereas in Frontier House it was for 5 months and then they were judged on how well they might have done through the winter if they had stayed.
