Ben Cartwright, the patriarch of the clan, was one of the best. He was played masterfully by Lorne Greene. The unassuming Canadian actor was raised by immigrant parents who taught him the value of love and silence. His world changed forever when the producers of Bonanza took notice of his talent. They were impressed when he guest starred on an episode of Wagon Train.
He, in turn, changed the show forever. He threatened to quit after the first 16 episodes unless the writers turned Ben into a loving and three-dimensional character. They listened, and the 2nd-most-popular TV dad of all time was born.
The show became a massive hit that earned Lorne a staggering amount of money. He used it to build a replica of the show’s ranch and used the recognition to release several successful albums.
What set Lorne apart was that the massive fame and fortune he accumulated never went to his head. He still found time to raise his children and is remembered fondly by everyone he encountered.
Lorne died of pneumonia after an aneurysm surgery, and his funeral was proof of the impact he had on the world. It was meant to be a small service, but the chapel overflowed with mourners. Many of them had to listen to it outside through loudspeakers.
Lorne also earned plenty of awards and accolades throughout his career and after his death. He’s got a star on both the American and Canadian Walk of Fame and even has his face on a Canadian postage stamp. Like and subscribe for more on the life and death of the biggest western TV icons. Watch our video to learn why Lorne Greene’s funeral is proof of his incredible legacy.

Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. Which Bonanza episode is the most memorable for you?
Much like my late father, a good, decent, and honorable man. Really couldn't ask for much more.
Lorne just nailed his role of Ben Cartwright on Bonanza which I still watch occasionally. He was the kind of father every boy wished they had. Kind and understanding yet tough as nails. 😊😊❤❤
"Ringo" is a great song. Love Lorne Green as an actor. He was incredible.
Lauren Green was a great actor he was also an accomplished musician on the guitar I enjoyed him in Bonanza and Battlestar Galactica he was great

Just loved His examples begin a parent ... loved His examples how to deal with serious situation ...even though HE was rich He Neve showed off and help each and everyone that he came across R.I.E.P Ben Carwight
Lorne Greene was the fatherly and grandfatherly figure for men to imitate due to his strong and endearing qualities that he brought to the characters that he played. I can't imagine Ben Cartwright being played by anyone other than Lorne Greene and as Admiral Odama in Battlestar Galactica he seemed to have the weight of all humanity on his shoulders but he was like a Ben Cartwright in outer space. But his private life surely showed his character especially when being involved in helping animals. An exceptional man.

We are still watching some of the episodes every day. I would say that the whole series would be very interesting all the way till the end. Their family bounding is very heart- touching and well behaviors. Father(Ben cartwright's ) and sons relationship is very strong in this series.
Ben Cartright was wealthy, tough, but a very compassionate man

I've always wanted Ben Cartwright to hook up with Victoria Barkley from the big valley. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
He was known as, "The Voice of Death" in Canada as he was the man assigned to read the names of the dead everyday on the radio during WW2

I have watched many " Bonanza " episodes and what I admired about the series was that there were no ' copy cat ' actors. Each one had their own personalities. And it wasn't always about fighting and gunplay. Some episodes were humorous about helping people instead of killing them. A TRUE MASTERPIECE OF A PROGRAM !

I used to hear his Ringo record on the radio. He had a good singing voice.
I saw an interview with Lorne Greene. When asked about four men living on the ponderosa and never any women around. The interviewer asked "were you all gay?" Lorne replied " no, but thank god Hop Sing was"

Lorne Greene was a very good actor in his time ! The episode of Wagon Train, Battlestar Galactica and Bonanza I watched and a few other movies he played in. Those are the ones I caught a glimpse of him and recognize him. One night I wanted to see a science fiction series or a science fiction movie, and too my surprise there was Battlestar Galactica. And I said okay I can do this and that I did ! I didn't get to say this but rest in peace Ben Cartwright.

Not a Bonanza guy, myself... bit before me, really. Battlestar? That's more my speed and era... The OG version of Commander Adama! Also remember his part on Roots and his classic Alpo commercials! Code Red was a fave of mine as a lil kid, too! I recall he had a nature show, too. I'd confuse him with Marlin Perkins and my dad would laugh and correct me! lol! Good times, good times!!
Yes I'm a long time fan of Bonanza great show. I don't think I missed too many. I watched a lot of cowboy shows. It was the fun thing to do on Saturday.

He was such a nice guy, remember him more from Battlestar
Bonanza was the Swiss Army knife of tv shows …. Sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic…. Always a great show As for Mr. Green, I think Ben Cartwright over a period of time became more like Loren. Too bad Gunsmoke was on a different network…. I think it’d been so cool for Marshal Dillion to pass through Virginia city….

LOVED HIM
Usually people who turn out compassionate and kind experienced compassion and kindness early on. Most serial killers and violent offenders were horribly abused as children. It's interesting how it's taken the authorities, government, social services, etc, so long to connect the dots. A good case in point is that back in the 70s and 80s serial killers like John Wayne Gasey, Ted Bundy, and The Hill Side Strangler, etc were commonplace compared to today. I suppose if I connect the dots myself all this makes sense because I clearly remember walking around Hollywood with my father as a child around 1977 78 and seeing girls as young as 13 selling themselves on the street corners. You don't see that anymore and serial killers are rare today.
If everybody will be like the Cartwright family America will be a better country and Americans will be the greatest in the whole world 🌍❤️❤️❤️watching Bonanza.🇺🇲🦅

Who was your favorite Cartwright? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Lorne was spectacular on Bonanza. However, he's a completely different man on his interviews. I was stunned how different he was in real life, I could not see any likeness to his character on Bonanza. I was disappointed. Bonanza was his big break in acting. Only Pernell Roberts left and did not appreciate his fame. Sorry.
Banana was one of the best shows on TV
