New Kid on the Hitching Post

Post by Janet the Wicked »

Hi, Ya'll!
My name is Janet. I have rediscovered Bonanza and especially Pernell Roberts, who I adore. How can anybody be that good-looking???
Growing up, we were a Gunsmoke family, so I didn't get a chance to see Bonanza until it went into syndication sometime in the 70's, if I remember correctly. At that time I was nuts about Lorne Greene. Anyway, I'm happy to have found a working Bonanza website; so many have simply died out, I guess. I came across Bonanza: Scenery of the Ponderosa site and am enjoying the background info about the actors and the show.
I searched Amazon to see if anybody had written a biography on Pernell, but I didn't have any luck. Is there someplace out there in cyber-land where I can find out background info on Monsieur Roberts? I'm an old movie buff and have many books and bios. I think Pernell's life may make for an interesting read.
I understand he left the show because he wasn't happy with the story lines and went on to pursue theater work. I don't get it because he looks like he was having a hellova time making that show, as do the other actors.

:welcome to Bonanza Boomers Janet

Take a few minutes to check out our guidelines for the board. You can find them here

This site provides a lot of information about Pernell Roberts. You can check his bio here and more information about Pernell in our forum for him, Pernell's Place and some of his 'greatest' threads, including a few members who actually met him and one that interviewed him.

We’re happy to have you here with us. Have fun! :cheer
