What did Little House on the Prairie cast take as souvenirs from sets?
While interacting with the magazine, the cast members recalled the pieces of souvenirs picked up by them from the sets of the show. Each of the actors has different and very unique objects from their 1970s show. First up, Karen Grassle revealed that she took home hair strands, which she regularly used in the wig of her character. Grassle shared, “My hairdresser quietly gave me my hair and I actually used it from time to time when I was still young in parts where I needed a lot of beautiful hair, you know, because that wasn’t my hair.”
Next up, Matthew Labyorteaux spoke to the entertainment portal, where he stated that when he went to meet Michael London at the Amazon MGM studios after the show, he gave Matthew a piece of wood that he kept for the actor. The wood had been used in the construction of the sets, which was blown up in the last episode as per the script’s demand. The actor shared that, to date, he has carefully placed the wood in his house.
Arngrim could not take anything from the sets of the show, as her exit from the series was undecided at the time. She said, “I didn’t know that I was gonna be leaving when I left. And so I would have had to have stolen something, and they frowned upon that.”
