Lorne Greene
HOLLYWOOD (Special)
Lorne Greene probably is the best known actor from Canada ever to invade the Hollywood sets. His name already was a household word in Canada before he headed for the land of klieg lights to make an even bigger name for himself.
He did not think twice when I asked where, in the world, he would like to live.
"Among friends," he said, adding, "People are nice if you let them be, if you treat them as human beings."
Greene could live anywhere because he has made friends everywhere as Ben Cartwright, the patriarch of the NBC Television Network's popular series, "Bonanza",
"I enjoy people," Greene said candidly, in commenting on the tremendous public response wherever he goes, even on a recent vacation.
"We (my wife and I) were in a restaurant in Rome," he said, "when we toasted a Mexican family at a nearby table. Soon they and their teenage children came over and invited us to their home if we ever came to Mexico.
"A family from San Francisco sent over a bottle of champagne. A Japanese family came over, apologized for the interruption, and then said they wished to express not only their own appreciation of the series, but also everyone's back home. They asked if they might take our picture."
Greene drew crowds, and stopped traffic, wherever he went -at Michaelangelo's statue of Moses, along the Via Venito on Easter Sunday, at the airport in Rome (where the porter dropped Greene's bags on recognizing ‘Signor Bonanza').
In Jamaica people sat in cars outside his hotel room for five hours to meet him. In London some stayed until midnight upon finding him out for the day.
In Spain, Greene's press conference set a record for a public figure, attracting 1ll reporters. In Ronda, Spain, the manager of the tourist bureau closed shop to escort Greene personally.
