The Only Surviving Stars Of Bonanza
By VALERIE ETTENHOFER
The classic western series Bonanza aired for 14 seasons on NBC in the '60s and '70s, featuring the adventures of Ben Cartwright, a widowed patriarch, as he raised his three sons.
Tim Matheson
Not all of the show's original cast are with us today, but Tim Matheson, who played Griff King, a parolee turned ranch hand, is among those remaining.
Since then, he's had a career in film and TV, starring in productions like “Animal House,” “Hart of Dixie,” and “The West Wing,” while also directing and tackling political issues.
Mitch Vogel
Child actor Mitch Vogel, who played Jamie, had his last on-screen appearance in 1978, only five years after the show's finale.
Vogel now resides in southern California, where he participates in music, church activities, and "Bonanza"-related events, as reported by Wide Open Country.
