The entry titled "Q: I am a great fan of Pernell Roberts who was on the first six years of "Bonanza." He is the only one of the original four still living and I am wondering where he is now and what he is doing. Did he remarry, does he have a girlfriend and does he do any acting now? Also, a few years ago, I thought I saw him as a spokesperson for a Christian Children's Network advertisement. Does he still do this kind of work?," and any of the comments about it.

A: Roberts, who has been married three times, divorced his last wife, Kara Knack, in 1996 after 14 years of marriage, according to Wikipedia. He is now retired—and made his last TV appearance (to date) on a 2001 episode of Diagnosis Murder. As for the Christian Children’s Foundation ads, that’s not him—it’s TV actor and Roberts look-alike Alan Sader. He’s been their spokesman for 15 years.
