What was kittys last name on gunsmoke

Ellis first appeared in the radio episode "Billy the Kid" April 26, as "Francie Richards" - a former girlfriend of Matt Dillon's and the widow of a criminal - but the character of "Miss Kitty" did not appear until the May 10, , episode "Jaliscoe". Amanda Blake appeared in episodes of the television series, with her last being the April 1, , episode titled, " The Disciple ". In the radio series, Kitty's profession was hinted at, but never explicit; in a interview with Time , Macdonnell declared, "Kitty is just someone Matt has to visit every once in a while".

A running gag is that while she and Matt Dillon have feelings for one another, the only time they get together is an episode where they are just about to share a meal together, when she is called outside; she comes back to find that poor Matt, who is quite tired,-has fallen asleep on her bed.

Kitty then becomes so furious that they storm out of her room in a bad temper! Cancel Delete. Sign up with: Google Facebook Twitter Email. Upload a file: Or drag a file here to upload. Newest Oldest Top Comments. M0unta1nGrammy 2 months ago. I grew up watching Ms.

Blake on Gunsmoke. I idolized her. I named my only Daughter Amanda in her honor. Turns out my daughter has red hair just like Ms.

I still watch Gunsmoke every day to get my Kitty fix. Like Reply Delete. Reply to username. Enjoyed this article on Kitty thank you! Angelstarr 4 months ago. While rumors stated how Amanda Blake needed to be informed in advance if Blacks were to be on the set so she could be absent, this is absolutely FALSE. In fact, one of the nuns ran into the Long Branch looking for Matt Dillon.

Amanda Blake Ms. Kitty rushed over to the nun, placed her arms around her and walked the nun Susan Balson over to the Marshall and to Doc to make sure that Balson was ok. So, be careful what you read without data to back it up. I think Amanda Blake was one of the most beautiful women to grace the screen.

It was a special character made so thanks to Amanda Blake who by all accounts was indeed, a special lady. I find appalling any hints that she had a racist bone in her body.

It simply doesn't fit with the good, fair and decent person she was in life. Shame on people who say otherwise. Like 1 Reply Delete. WhiteRook 10 months ago. Amanda Blake had a uncredited role on the tv series Steve Canyon. Read that amanda had to be informed the day before if there was going to be a black person on set, so she could absent herself from set.

She would not come in to shoot that day. Any history as to why? He was an anti-civil rights advocate and is documented to have been quite pleased when Martin Luther King, jr.

Is that true? I do not understand why anyone would try to destroy the reputation of a woman who had such a hard life after her death. Perhaps it is because she can not defend herself. Makes her an easy target. Like 5 Reply Delete. Dayton 12 months ago. Why the "beauty mark"? When she started playing Miss Kitty, she didn't have the "beauty mark" on her right cheek. It was added later. Or did she always have it, and just covered it with make-up? I'm not certain why the beauty mark became part of the character, but Amanda kept it after she left Gunsmoke.
