Jennifer Landon's father is the late A-list actor Michael Landon. As the Los Angeles Times reported, the "Little House on the Prairie" star died in July 1991 at age 54, just three months after being diagnosed with liver and pancreatic cancer. The actor discussed the trauma of losing her famous father at age 7 with People in 2005, where she said: "I was not ready. I wasn't ready to hear it at all, not at all." Landon recalled the harrowing moment she was asked to say goodbye to her father before his passing, telling the outlet, "I cried when they did that. They took me over there. I was like, 'No, I don't want to! I don't want to.'"

In 2017, Jennifer shared with Smashing Interviews Magazine what Michael was like off-set when he was at home with his family. "He was incredibly fun and very funny," Jennifer said of her father, adding that she "had a lot of respect for him." The "Yellowstone" cast member has said that Michael had a harmonious relationship with his kids, which set the tone for a pleasant home life. "It makes for a very calm household, I think, when parents have very clear roles with their kids about what is expected and what's not and then everything just goes smoothly," she explained. While her father may have died while she was young, Jennifer has recalled a few happy memories she shared with him.
