Betty endicott stand-in for pernell roberts biography

Betty Endicott was born on March 31, 1931 in Sacramento, CA. She was married twice, the second time to actor Ron Hayes, an actor who appeared on Bonanzaand many other television shows between the 1950’s until the late 1980’s.

This friend happened to be married to Jimmy Lane, the associate producer of a new western called Bonanza. At his wife's prompting, he called Betty to ask if she would like to work on the show. He knew that she knew how to ride and was very comfortable around horses, and so offered her a job, saying she could learn the ropes of television as she went along.

She accepted and appeared as an uncredited extra in 78 Bonanza episodes beginning with The Hopefuls(Season 2 ~ October 1960) through The Medal(Season 11
