Shannen Doherty attributes her passion for acting to her former Little House on the Prairie co-star, the late Michael Landon. Reflecting on her early days in Hollywood on a recent episode of the Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty podcast, alongside her mother, Rosa Elizabeth Doherty, she recalled landing the role of Jenny Wilder on the show’s final season at 11 years old (1982-83).
Doherty expressed deep gratitude for her time on Little House, stating that it remains the most significant experience of her career. She emphasized her close relationship with Landon, who portrayed Charles Ingalls, the patriarch of the family, until his passing in 1991. Describing Landon as a mentor who taught her invaluable lessons, Doherty reminisced about their bond and the lasting impact he had on her.
