🇨🇦 Lorne Green was a Silver Fox, with a voice no one can forget. So manly. I crushed on him and on Hoss, even as a child. I am now watching it, on my Android tv box in 2022. Such memories! Lorne Green and the Bonanza crew live on!
He died 2 years after this interview at the age of 72! He looks great! He will live on for future generations who discover what a great series Bonanza was!
I watched the episode several times about the opera singer, Thomas Bowers. Hoss brought him to the house and Ben, Adam and Little Joe met them outside and explained things to them. The sheriff came to the Ponderosa once he found out where Thomas Bowers was, in order to arrest him. I remember it being Sara of the ladies group that made arrangements for the singer to come into town, but she did not know what he looked like. What a shame that Mr. Green fabricated that part of the episode. On the other hand; It could have been that he did not remember since this interview was in 1986. The Bonanza episode was “Enter Thomas Bowers.” In addition, Mr. Raymond St. Jacques was the first black actor to star in a leading role on a western series. He was cast as Simon Blake on “Rawhide” in 1965. That was long before Bonanza’s cowboy. Mr. Ray Martin was correct that 1963 was the middle of the Civil Rights marches/movement, which was 1954-1968. I have a feeling that Mr. Pernell Roberts had something to do with the Thomas Bowers episode, based on his activism. Mr. Greene was an amazing “Pa/Ben” on the show and it’s good seeing him being interviewed.
Miss the dear Lorne Greene. Remember him as a newscaster, when I was a child, before Bonanza. He had a very distinctive voice. Great actor, always remembered.
Once you've seen a few episodes of Bonanza, you realize that Ben Cartwright was the epitome of integrity, love and compassion. There are a few episodes that exemplify these principles. The one with Ossie Davis, as a single black father of 3 children in 1963 was especially powerful! Everyone trusted Ben and his boys. Lorne was my #2 favourite only to the handsome, virile, tall Pernell Roberts! Love the show!
It was available on Foxtel here in Australia pretty much since Foxtel started. It was on Nick At Nite when I was a kid in 1997. It moved to TV1 when Nickelodeon became a 24/7 Channel then to Fox Classics when Fox Classics became a 24/7 Channel.
PESSOAL, SAIBA QUE ATÉ HOJE,EU JÁ COM MAIS DE 60 ANOS, ESSA MÚSICA DE ABERTURA DO FILME BONANZA TOCA PROFUNDAMENTE MEU CORAÇÃO, QUE JESUS CRISTO CUBRA MR LORNE GREENE E TODOS OS OUTROS ACTORES COM SEU MANTO DE AMOR. FAN DO RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL
What strikes me with this interview is the keen interest Lorne Greene has with Ray Martin’s intelligent questions ..Martin totally engaged him and encouraged a glimpse of the human being not just the actor
Great interview. Another thing that brought down the barriers between blacks and whites, was Motown. I remember, and i believe that Motown music made a bigger change for civil rights and inclusion than even MLK did.
Love Bonanza but its a shame that the whole interview was about it. Sad that they (the Cartwrights) are all gone now. Lorne died the year following this interview 😔

He died in 87 not 88.
I watch Bonanza every day, sometimes two or three times a day my most favorite program and I love you Lauren Green
Ben Cartwright was an amazing character. Lorne Greene played it perfectly.
RIP Lorne Green. One of the best actors of his generation.

Didn't he die in 1989?
1987, on September 11. @@barryetherton4889

Mizzizzippi, how I spell that state.
THE MAN
pretty dad lorne!
10 gallon hat? That's not Erik.
He reminds me of uncle iroh from avatar
"it will be playing 20-30 years from now"
35 years later and Bonanza is still on TV here in Norway.:D
Miss the dear Lorne Greene. Remember him as a newscaster, when I was a child, before Bonanza. He had a very distinctive voice. Great actor, always remembered.
He would had made a good Jedi Master in Star Wars.
Dear Lorne Greene will always love and miss him
love the tennis shoes
I'm still watching Bonanza today on you tube and loved it as a boy in Rhodesia. Awesome series.
God bless Lorne Green! I too miss him, watching him as a boy left an indelible impression on that I carry to this day!
One of my Heros.. RIP Lorne
Would have been excellent to meet him
I loved him always -- especially as Fred Fusco in HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN with Mike Landon. Feb 12 -- the same birthdate as hubby.

Wow, Lorne had two hair colors. Brown and white.

The episode. “The Wish” with Mr. Ossie Davis aired in 1969. “Enter Thomas Bowers” aired in 1964. The handsome Mr. Pernell Roberts was my favorite too!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful clip of Lorne.
Glad you enjoyed it
Remember Ringo? Still love that song!
I've got box discs of Bonanza & love to watch & watch them sometimes.
Lmao love his outfit🤣
Thank you Mr. Rutherford for posting this video. It’s nice to hear from Lorne Green himself about these subjects that I have often wondered about.
Glad it was helpful!
Funny enough since the mid 2000s bonanza has been on cable tv here in Australia & hasn't been off at all.
It was available on Foxtel here in Australia pretty much since Foxtel started.
It was on Nick At Nite when I was a kid in 1997.
It moved to TV1 when Nickelodeon became a 24/7 Channel then to Fox Classics when Fox Classics became a 24/7 Channel.
That’s how a voice sounds

I want a man like Lorne Greene now! Where are they? He had it all. Would make a great partner.

Issue.
Is-Sue the girl for me.
Time 7:41, issue!
Nice they talked about Bonanza, the thing that will endure the most after all the dust settles.
It's on freeview here in the UK.
I tuned in yesterday on TV Land.
What strikes me with this interview is the keen interest Lorne Greene has with Ray Martin’s intelligent questions ..Martin totally engaged him and encouraged a glimpse of the human being not just the actor
Show was fantastic I still watch it
The man himself
He had a grand voice his songs are good
SOU APAIXONADA POR ESTA MÚSICA DO SERIADO BONANZA
The midday show with ray martin legendary tv in the 80s/90s.
I ALWAYS REMEMBER OF BONANZA FOREVER.
FAN DO RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL
What a lovely man he was.
Great interview. Another thing that brought down the barriers between blacks and whites, was Motown. I remember, and i believe that Motown music made a bigger change for civil rights and inclusion than even MLK did.
❤💫
Ray Martin is Dr Joseph Mengele,s double
Love Bonanza but its a shame that the whole interview was about it. Sad that they (the Cartwrights) are all gone now. Lorne died the year following this interview 😔
PA died in 1987 at the age of 87. I cried when he died.
He was born in Feb. of 1915, so was only 72 when he died - which makes it even more tragic.
@@voiceofreason7856 Sorry my typo.
Lorne Greene was known as "The Voice of Doom" when he was a newscaster in Canada during WWII
Fake eyebrows.
Eu também gosto muito
The eyebrows are real, the hair's not.
