Yes Pernell Roberts did play on Bonanza for the first year or so. After that, he decided to quit and live in the country. He was the oldest brother, but I don't remember his name.

Parnell Roberts played the oldest son, Adam Cartwright. And boy, was he good-looking before his hair shifted to the lower part of his face! Sandy T.

So here's a challenge. How many times was Ben Cartwright married and how many children did he have by each wife?

And, I seem to recall that each of the boys had a different mother. If this is correct, does anyone know the name of Adam's, Hoss's, and Little Joe's mother ? I don't.

About 15 years ago, I remember seeing an article about the success of BONANZA. The article chronicled the cast changes, etc. It has been too long ago to remember all the particulars, but I seem to recall that Parnell Roberts went bald at a rather young age and actually wore a toupee during his stint on the show. I think that this was his choice. He wanted to be presented to the television viewing audience with hair rather than without it (seems he thought it helped his image a bit more as this was somewhat early in his acting career and being bald somewhat limited his career paths). It seems he also left the show because of some sort of dispute. I don't remember if it was money, contract, hair, scandal, personality conflict or what the dispute was. Of course, all this is dredging pretty far back into my memory. Can anybody verify the above? -- Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc. > The actor who played Candy was David Canary. Didn't Mitch Vogel play for half a season on Bonanza? Maybe it was only a guest shot, as this has been a long time ago. BTW, what ever happened to him? He seemed to be a pretty hot young actor on the rise in the early 70's, then kind of disappeared (sort of like Billy Mumy). -- Walt Tucker
