Closer - 03.27.23 Michael Landon Haunted by his Past

Michael Landon became a TV legend as a star of Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. Now, Closer has the inspiring inside story about Michael's difficult childhood and how it inspired him to do better than his parents.  But even as told stories on television about the power of kindness and family, Michael struggled to be a good husband to three wives and father to his nine children. "He gave us the best of what he had to give," his stepdaughter Cheryl tells Closer. "And what he had was considerable." Also in this issue: Sally Field talks about her life at 76; a look back at the last romance of Joan Crawford; and a Q&A with Criminal Minds star Joe Mantegna.
