Michael Landon put frogs in his mouth
Pranks seemed to be a big part of the filming culture, and it was Michael Landon who often led the charge with his creative and funny antics. One hilarious prank was revealed by Rachel Greenbush, who played the youngest Ingalls sibling, Carrie.
The mischievous duo of Greenbush and her on-screen sister, Melissa Gilbert, would sneak off to the creek during breaks for some frog-catching adventures. With their slimy little friends in tow, they’d return to the set to surprise Landon
In a playful twist, he would take the unsuspecting frogs and pop them in his mouth, then stroll over to fellow cast and crew members. With a cheeky grin, he’d open his mouth to let the frogs jump out, sending everyone around him into startled fits of laughter and panic.
