I agree Tonie, Little House and Michael Landon were obviously very impactful on that time of Wendi growing up.

I connected with Wendi online during the Christmas season of 2020. What connected me was the fact that she loves Jesus! I love connecting with Christians! She has such a good heart.

Another great interview & Wendi is so charming & down to earth. I wish her all the best life has to offer. I wish you had asked her about Victor French especially when she brought up going to the set of Highway To Heaven to see Michael Landon but Victor French was on that show too along with all the crew from Little House & Bonanza. Great interview!

Thanks a bunch! You know what I wish I had asked her about Victor French as well and if she recognized any of the crew. Funny how in the moment things like that don't always come to you.

What a wonderful interview with Wendi. I add myself to the huge list of Little House fans. I look for all the interviews I can that anyone does with any cast members of Little House. For Christmas my son bought me all the seasons of Little House on DVD. Now I don't have to watch the series on Prime that has commercials. :) I also have most of the books cast members have written, but do not have Wendi's yet. I'll be getting it soon. I look forward to more Little House cast members if you can get them to speak with you. Matthew (Albert Ingalls) and Patrick Labyorteaux (Andy Garvey) come to mind and would be a cool interview. Thanks John, for another awesome interview.

My pleasure Beth! Glad you are a great Little House fan and have enjoyed all my interviews with the cast. I am working on getting other cast members and we will see. Congrats on the gift from your son😀

Great interview once again. I never thought about the young young kids on the show. I'm sure I would have been the same way, will they even remember me? And shocked when they did. I didn't realize that Hersha had already passed away. :( I adored her too. Heck I adored all the characters on the show. Besides Allison Ingram, Katherine MacGregor was also one of our favorites. I figured anyone that could make that person so well hated had to be a wonderful actress or actor. Looking forward to your next interview as always! Love Jamie & Karl

Thanks Jamie! It is pretty amazing the effect Little House has had and continues to have on so many. It had to be pretty cool for Wendi to reconnect with fans after playing a child on the show. Alison and Katherine are great actors! Incredible cast.

Thank you for this, it was great. You are brilliant at interviewing your guests. Wendi is a lovely person & so down-to-earth. She was cute as baby Grace. My favourite part is when she’s falling asleep in the high chair. Adorable. x

Just a suggestion, I would love to see any update of the actors/actresses from Longmire. I have it on DVD and watch it from time to time. It was one of my mom's favorite shows. She passed away in Oct 2022. and about the last year her memory was pretty much gone. But she knew she loved the show and every so often she could tell us what would happen, and then later not remember anything. Thanks again for all your hard work on these shows we loved. Love Jamie & Karl

@ThatsClassicTV 6 ай бұрын

Appreciate the suggestion Jamie. I will do the best I can. In general, I focus on older shows but that's not to say some of the actors like Lou Diamond Phillips aren't from the 80's. Sorry about your Mom and I understand the connection Longmire brings to you in that regard. Very special💕
