Who Is Still Alive From ‘Bonanza’?

Few Westerns have the legacy that Bonanza does. The series ran for a staggering 14 seasons on NBC from 1959 to 1973, following the adventures of Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene) and his three sons (Michael Landon, Dan Blocker and Pernell Roberts) as they went through good times and bad on their Ponderosa ranch.

While most of the core cast has sadly passed on, there are two familiar faces still with us, both of whom joined the series in its later seasons. Let’s catch up with the only two major actors from Bonanza who are still alive today, along with a look back honoring those we’ve lost.
