David Dortort
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Dortort is a Hollywood producer and writer, best known for his role as producer in the television series Bonanza (1959-1967) and The High Chaparral (1967-1971). Much of Dortort's energies in the late 1960's went to the newer series, therefore leaving the production of Bonanza mostly to his associates during its last five and a half years (1967-73).
Other series produced by Dortort were The Cowboys (1974), and a prequel series featuring younger versions of the Bonanza characters called Ponderosa (2001), which was produced with Beth Sullivan.
Dortort is also the author of at least two books — "Burial of the Fruit" (1948) and "The Post of Honor" (1949).
