Before Melora Hardine acted in “The Office”, she moved towards the beloved.
The actress, who made her debut in Hollywood as a child, auditioned for “Little House on the Prey” when she was 9 years old. He was later cast in an episode to play the role of Belinda, one of the Albert Engels (Matthew Labytox) classmates.
The 57-year-old, who has recently launched a collage-style wallpaper line, has memories to help Melora Hardine’s storyboard, hit the hit series into life. He told Fox News Digital that Michael Landon, who acted as the beloved Patrik Charles Engels and directed the series, was determined by the partner “Prey” children.

“Michael Landon made everyone feel safe,” he remembered. “He trusted us, and we trusted him. He was one of us protective. And I think it was one of the most important lessons I learned early (in Hollywood) – surround yourself with people who make you feel safe.”
“I have always said that acting and making movies and TVs are one of the largest team games,” he shared. “And I am confident that Michael Landon was my first example. I immediately learned from him. And it just felt surprising to be around those who felt safe to be a fool in front, to fail in front. To fail in front. As an artist, especially young, it was nice that there is no constant justice or challenge.”

“It is about working with great colleagues and not tolerating A-Holls,” he said. “They had no-shed on the set. And I think it’s super important. If you feel safe, you can do great work.”

Hardine was already “already working in a long -standing” showbusiness when she joined the “Little House”. But the landon was different, he shared.
“I worked with people who were not as good as it was,” Hardin said. “We had school on the set, and it was very fun for other children in school with working with you.”

“Many times I was doing a film or something else, and I will be the only (baby) in the room,” Hardin continued. “I would be only one person in the classroom with the set teacher. And for other children it was a pleasure when you were in the classroom with them and then worked with them. It was joyful. We would also play the game. It was a very fun way to be a child an actor to be a child. It was definitely an attraction.”

Hardine revealed that the moment she moved on the set, the landon “so hot.”
“He did a great job with the children,” he said. “He really knew how to make us feel comfortable. He would let us talk. He was not a director director. He was very happy.

“I remember during my first audition, we had to do this flashback sequence together,” he missed. “I was a dancer. I started dancing at the age of 5. I was very serious about Ballet. He was not yet inserted as Albert, but was put as a young Charles (Engels). We danced together, and later he told me that he wanted to really want to participate as other girls because I didn’t hold steps on his toes like other girls.”
Hardine returned to the 1983 TV film “Little House: Look to Tumoro”. He played a new character, Mitchell, who was Albert’s love interest. He shared his first on-screen kiss.

“We both had a crush on each other,” he said. “This was an incredibly sweet moment. I think it was something we nervous about and we both enjoyed. It is a memory for me forever. And we became the best friends. She is the Godfather of my youngest daughter. It was a wonderful, lucky moment in our life.”

“Little House on the Prey” ended after nine sessions in 1983. Landon died of pancreatic cancer in 1991 at the age of 54. This was a time for artists.

“I was still very young when he died, but I remember we were all sad,” he said. “But I was just happy that I had with him at that time, at that time we shared on the set and the creative experience we shared. I would always remember him.”
Today, Harden is busy with its wallpaper line.

“My interest in art began to be really young,” he explained. “My father is an actor and an artist. And I think I have learned a very little learn from him that, yes, you can be an actor, but also important that you are emotional about other things, and I am emotional about art, and I have always been emotional about collage. I don’t think I was a great artist anytime. I tried to painting.”
“When I made my first film, I realized that what the collaging had done in the editing room is,” he shared. “It all goes together. I am a lyricist and it’s like collating, because you are putting words and tunes together in a way that are in some way together. I think it’s always that I am.”

In January, Netflix confirmed that a reboot of the classic show was given a green light. Streaming giants described it as “a converted adaptation”. It will feature Rebecca Sonenshin of “The Boys” and “The Vampire Diaries” as a shorner and executive manufacturer.

Hardine feels that it should be given a chance.
Hardine said, “Surely there is a place for some sweet, feel-gud content.” “I remember when a new ‘Hawaii five -0’ was announced. I thought, ‘I remember when I had a child, when I was a child, and I loved it. Can they do justice to it?”

“I think there is a great time for feel-gud content now,” she said. “We need some sweetness. We need some entertainment. I think there is a need for warmth and stories that celebrate commitment to the family. I think it’s important.”
“I think those good values of the old days will be a good thing for young people today,” he continued. “So much stuff is very good these days and so dark. And yet, ‘Little House’ was just so much love, heart and good values. Who wouldn’t want to experience today?”
