Скачать или смотреть Dan Blocker DIED, No One Expected It

In 1972, "Bonanza" was at the height of its popularity, one of the most beloved shows on the planet. At its core was the Cartwright family, and the heart of that family was Hoss, the gentle giant adored by all of America. Actor Dan Blocker went in for what was supposed to be a routine gallbladder surgery. But afterward, the unthinkable happened: a post-operative blood clot took his life. He was only 43. It was the first time in the history of primetime television that a show's main character had died. The producers didn't try to replace him. They simply "killed off" Hoss off-screen, dedicating the new season's first episode to him. But without its gentle giant, the show lost its soul. The death of Dan Blocker marked the beginning of the end for "Bonanza" and became a bitter reminder that even the greatest stories can't last forever.
