Nellie and Almanzo had many scenes collectively, particularly in season six. Do you might have a favourite reminiscence of the long-lasting “cinnamon” hen scene (when Laura swaps the cinnamon for cayenne pepper)?
Alison Arngrim: The hen was scrumptious. It was scrumptious baked hen with out cayenne pepper. Our stage males have been great cooks. I had the perfect meals at that job. Then our prop man introduced us a scrumptious, scrumptious, scrumptious herb roasted hen. And we sat there, and at one level, Dean, I believe you stated one thing like, “Should we put pepper, not loads, only a pinch of pepper on high, simply to scent it?” And then that was it. We began. And I believe you (Dean) went first, the place you froze and checked out me, and your eyes acquired vast, after which I began, and it was contagious. And we each, our eyes acquired larger, we each acquired crimson.
Then I’ll do the ingesting water factor. So whereas we’re doing this, I am going and drink an enormous cup of water and I can not drink it. I begin to put it down and Michael says, “No, no. Keep spinning it. Don’t even minimize. Refill her glass as a result of, pay attention, you are going to gulp down the entire glass of water. Don’t put it down till it is empty. I do not care if water comes out of your nostril, I do not care if it comes out of your eyes, we’ll simply do it, I promise, it is extra enjoyable.
I drank and water got here out of the edges of my mouth and nostril. And, after all, it is hysterical. It’s sensible. He’s completely proper. It was the one strategy to go. You need to chug all of it out. And then we run into the kitchen, screaming whereas we’re with the pump and every little thing.
(Alison has since made her cinnamon hen YouTube channel).
