Pernell Roberts died
 

All the Cartwrights are gone now. :(

I liked him the best of all of them. :(

Bonanza
 

:) What a wonderful family show that was, one with values boy thats a rare
commodity these days isn't it. I must watch some reruns via Netflix! Thank you for the news, condolences to his family. Being born in 1951, I always had a secret crush on "Little Joe" lol:p

I saw that last week.

Did you know that Jean Simmons died too? (she died a couple of days before Pernell Roberts did)

I watched The Big Country when I found out she died, and then I had a little Bonanza watching marathon (I have some dvd's, and it was on cable too)

I love old movies. It's sad that the actors/actresses from those old movies are all leaving us now.

My long lost love "GONE" :Sob:

I can remember so well, when we watched Bonanza, I had the biggest
crush on Pernell Roberts.

Would even imagine being married to him someday and living on the
ranch. (my childhood dreams) :D

Everyone is getting older. We are looseing so many goooood actors
and actresses. I believe that there will never be a Hollywood like the one
that is passing away.

Jappy :icon_sad:

I have always had a 'crush' on Pernell Roberts too! I was in the 5th grade and Trapper John MD was one of my favorite T.V. shows! When I was on a family vacation in the Virgin Islands, we took a boat from St. Thomas to St. Croix for a day trip. When we were ready to set sail, my brother elbow'd me in my side :Poke: and signaled to me with his 'shifty eyes' :lookaround:, implying that I needed to check out the person who was facing us on the opposite bench. When I got the courage to actually take a look....I was completely awestruck! :eek: Sitting right there, across from me - was my Love!:In-Lurve: It was Pernell Roberts!!!!! :eek: I could not believe it! I could actually lift my leg and point my toes and I would be able to touch him with my foot! Ohhh boy, just could not wait to tell my friends about my brush with fame!! Of course, I was entirely too shy :icon_redface:to gaze into his eyes, much less ask him for his autograph or tell him that I secretly Loved :Heart: him....I was only in the 5th grade and all, but I remember feeling really anxious and then I suddenly came down with the uncontrollable giggles.....you know the kind of giggles that you CANNOT STOP!? I could not contain myself no matter how hard I tried and then my nostrils started to flare in and out and the snorting and watery eyes began!! I proceeded to make a complete and utter fool of myself when......... my brother stood up and moved to the back of the boat!! So there I was....sitting across from my crush of all time, giggling, snorting with watery eyes and flapping nostrils!:thud:

So that, is my personal 'brush with fame'....even though I couldn't muster the guts to actually say anything to him, and besides the fact that I was a complete and blubbering FOOL that day, I always kept this memory near and dear to my heart. RIP Pernell... RIP
