While Little House on the Prairie may have been set in the 1800s, the original cast look back at one recurring hand detail that was very popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
In an episode of theLittle House 50 podcast, co-hosts Pamela Bob, Alison Arngrim, and Dean Butler remember how the actors would have manicured French nails while filming, and it was blatantly obvious in "The Wedding" episode in Season 5.
Bob recounts "the moment when we first see the nails, the French tips," when Mary Ingalls (Melissa Sue Anderson) accepts Adam Kendall's (Linwood Boomer) marriage proposal. The scene has a close-up of Mary's perfectly manicured nails, and they appear throughout the episode.
"They're shiny, shiny new. Beautiful. They are shiny new acrylics," added Bob.
Arngrim, who played Nellie Olsen, reveals that despite her love for doing her nails, she would remove all nail polish and colorful designs before filming. She believed it wouldn't make sense in a 1800s TV show, but
"And I don't know. Because Melissa Gilbert had the acrylics. Melissa Sue had the acrylics. They all had the French tips. It was so in the early eighties. And they all did and I did not. ... I said, 'I'm on a TV show and I have a full seven-year contract for a TV show where apparently I live in the 1800s and don't have nails,'" she said.
Bob jokes that he had no idea how Michal Landon, who starred as Charles Ingalls, didn't think anything of it at the time.
"It is so weird that Michael Landon was like, 'Yeah. I'm cool with it. It is weird to me,'" Bob said.
Arngrim adds that if Little House on the Prairie were set in a later time period, like the 1930s, they would have likely gotten away with it. In the end, the small, historically inaccurate details became a running gag among fans.
