NBC’s hit series Bonanza was one of the longest-running Westerns ever, and it starred Michael Landon as Little Joe Cartwright. The Cartwright family has wealth, and the show features their lives in Virginia City, Nevada. Unfortunately, many of the Cartwrights couldn’t hang on to a relationship with the women — and Landon said it led to rumors that the Cartwright men might be gay.

Many of the Cartwright family members in ‘Bonanza’ didn’t have long-lasting relationships

The Cartwrights always had each other in Bonanza, as they certainly couldn’t depend on having a long-lasting relationship. According to Outsider, the “Cartwright Curse” was named after the family. The curse meant that the main character in a series doesn’t get to have a close relationship with the person they’re in love with either dying or leaving.

Lorne Greene played Ben Cartwright, and Ben had three wives throughout his lifetime. Elizabeth Stoddard died during childbirth, Inger Borgstrom was shot with an arrow by a Native American, and Marie DeMarigny fell off a horse and died.

Aside from Ben, Hoss Cartwright, played by Dan Blocker, was also unlucky in love. Emily Pennington fell in love with Hoss, but she’s suffering from a fatal illness. She leaves without telling Hoss what’s going on, and he later learns the truth from the other Cartwrights.

Michael Landon’s character, Little Joe Cartwright, also deals with tragedy. His wife, Alice Harper, died from a henchman.
