Roberts hated Bonanza
Yes, it’s true. Roberts, who played Adam Cartwright, was not the biggest fan of the show. In fact, he said it not only glorified wealth, but was demeaning towards woman and overall, low brow humor. After pushing for changes in the script, he just left the show to join a theater company. The show said Adam went to sea to explain his absence.

Mysterious Death
Between his cooking books and guest appearances on cooking shows, Victor Sen Yung kept busy. Yeah, the cook, Hop Sing, was an acclaimed chef in real life too! Tragically, he was found dead in 1980 at home and authorities noted it as, “mysterious circumstances.” Upon investigating, they uncovered he died of asphyxiation due to a faulty stove’s gas killing him in his sleep. He died before finishing his second cookbook.
