Looking at all the photos of Lorne Greene, he appears to be very distinguished. Why is it that when men age they look really great! Yet, when women age they're suddenly over the hill, only able to snag occasional parts. Some women making efforts to look younger succeed only in looking clownish.
6/11 darn it! lol
He was a true star
And a Canadian gem! Good singer so I’m told
You got 11 out of 11
You must be walking tall after getting so many right!
Lorne also guest starred on Trapper John MD which starred Pernell Roberts.

That’s what I thought the quiz makers were going to ask. Not the Vegas shenanigans question. But I guess that’s what made it tough for some(like me)
Great actor ! Love Bonanza ❤️
7/11. Wasn't that big a Lorne Greene fan. I'm surprised they didn't list another series he starred in where he played a private eye, "Griff". It was only on for a year.

10 for 11. He is buried next to Michael Landon. I gotta say, Lorne had one of the best rugs
in Hollywood. I had no idea till Landon spilled the beans to Johnny Carson in one very
funny story. Everybody on Bonanza was bald except for Landon and the horses.

I remember him being on The Tonight Show once with Michael, talking about how none of his three boys had kept in touch--"I turn on the TV one day...this one's married, living out on the prairie...I've got three granddaughters I didn't know anything about..."
Thanks Mover, that gave me a laugh. Michael Landon's family life was a mess growing up, you read between the lines it seemed he wasn't loved but rather tolerated as a responsibility.
Might explain his idealized family "on the prairie". Greene took him under his wing and helped mold the man, he was in a real sense Mike's father.

10/11. #9.
6. Being of similar voice and build as William Marshall, always thought Lorne Greene was playing a white Blacula.

Not completely a Greene-horne.
BTW, in 1975 Lorne Greene took over the Brian Keith role from the 1966 Steve McQueen film "Nevada Smith", in a TV series pilot called (wait for it) "Nevada Smith". (Cliff Potts took the Steve McQueen role.)
