Now, her memoir reveals a side of Michael Landon that fans rarely saw. Grassle describes a set where Landon held enormous power as star, writer, producer, and director. She says she was paid less than male colleagues despite carrying major emotional storylines. When she asked for equal pay, she recalls scripts becoming smaller and their relationship growing colder. She also describes off-color jokes, drinking, and a boys\u2019 club atmosphere. Grassle does not call Landon a monster, but portrays a complicated man whose control came at a painful cost.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"share-icons\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For decades, Karen Grassle stayed silent about her experience on Little House on the Prairie.
