Oh goodness im stuck with this show 7 days a week About 8 hours a day. Now its in color. Matts pink shirt. Chester and the dr so funny. Chester always broke..oh lord he built a house under ground. I thought husband would laugh himself silly.. kitty got kidnapped by the brother s. Its was funny to ..we love them all. Can t believe they're. All Dead
@@dawnwallace6337 all except the guy who played Buck. I think he's still alive. Anyways he was in the movie Cowboys and Alians I think it was called. I'm old. I forget things. Lol. Though I was around when Gunsmoke first aired.

@@FactsVerse The narrator has a very obnoxious voice. Very cold attitude towards such a sensitive subject. Fire him please. Thumbs down for him, not Miss Kitty.
Amanda Blake Gilbert was on the Board of Directors for the company in Kansas City, Missouri that I worked 30 years for and I was fortunate to have met her a few times during the 1980's and she was such a wonderfully warm, charming and lovely woman.💕
Still watch the show today at 81. She is as big a star as Matt. My favorite line of hers was when her and Matt were watching a young couple "stage away" after being married. Matt said, you know, its funny how some people can't see what's right in front of them. Kitty replied in a perfect tone, Tell me about it. I thought she died from breast cancer.
My husband and I watch Gunsmoke every day even though we probably have seen episodes ten times over. I only wish there were episodes showing more affection between her and Matt. Love the show still today.
@@FactsVerse Wow that’s a hard one. So many to choose from but the one of many that comes to mind is about a young man who is mentally challenged without family is housed at an orphanage. The ending shows him reading to children. He also loved animals.
@@mimime5376 My husband passed away in May of this year. We also watched Gunsmoke pretty much daily and saw the same episodes over and over again but we didn't mind. I haven't watched it since he passed away but I think that I'm going to start watching it again. Sweet memories! 💖
I'm soon to be 60 an I watch Gunsmoke an have ever since I was a youngster ! I now watch reruns on ISPN ! An I to have seen all them at least 10 fold but still enjoy watching them !
@@Nostalgic_1 I extend my condolences to you losing your husband. The funny thing about Gunsmoke is that I never saw one episode until last year. I was cleaning, sat down for a break and my husband was watching it. I liked what I saw and watch it daily. For this past Christmas I got my husband (and myself) the 65th anniversary collection. That’s every episode! Guess I better stock up on popcorn lol. Get a bag for yourself and enjoy. I’m sure your husband will be watching with you. Take care of yourself and make it a Happy, Healthy New Year! 😊🙏🏼💖
This is the first I I never heard of this. Interestingly enough my grandmother was the first person I knew with it died in 1989 also and tried to keep it secret for fear that we wouldn’t love her anymore. She got hers from a blood transfusion in 1982. Just a shame how badly we treat people with diseases. It’s known that when people had cancer in the early times of understanding cancer that just saying somebody had it would be shunned for fear of catching it. I hope we’ve come along way and understanding how things are contracted. My thoughts go out to all the people who passed from this terrible disease.
@@smeeagain3102 , I'm on disability, as well. I watched it often and it was better than any movies out there today! I laughed so hard when Johnny would be on the stand and give one of his cocky infamous remarks to the defense and then he'd smile. So great!! Amber Turd ... I have never seen someone lie so much and how Johnny and his attorney would chuckle. I just pray Hollywood realizes the mistake they made!! 😊
Miss kitty was a tough cookie for that time period but she had a heart 💜 of gold and was a softie when the situation called for it. R.I.P Amanda Blake.
@@edwinahughes9052 big pharma is not our friend. They don't want us well. They make money keeping people taking meds. Plus the one who are really ill are used as experiments. Big pharma actually own the hospitals. You don't believe me do your research. We have been fed deceit for a long time.
@@wendyclem4803 don't know why you think I support big pharma. Fauci has been responsible for finding cure for HIV/AIDS for 40 years and hasn't found anything.
In that day, AIDS was very misunderstood. It's no wonder Amanda kept it a secret from the public. She was not only talented, but very beautiful. May she rest in peace.
At first it was reported as cancer then I thought it was liver failure brought on by viral hepatitis. Interesting to hear that it was later said that she had AIDS. Guess they didn't know what it was initially.
She loved her animals, she lived a couple few miles from us. Her husband was bisexual and that's how she got aids. And paws is now in San Andreas and it's very cool I ended up a few miles again from it. But she knew her husband was bisexual and she knew he gave it to her. May she rest in peace.
I lived in Austin TX where Mark Spaeth (Amanda's 4th husband) was a City Councilman and it was known he was a bisexual and was somewhat effeminate. I had left, then moved back to Austin and I received a welcome letter from Mark as part of his city council duties upon my return as my new banking position had been announced in a local paper. I still have the letter as I thought it cool to have a signed personal note from Ms Kitty's husband. She was a part of my childhood.
Amanda Blake got AIDS from her husband who didn't bother to tell her that he had gotten it. Nice guy, right? Because of the delay in telling her, her treatment was delayed and didn't help her much. Very sad and unfair!
That I believe is pretty much it in the nutshell, those Hollywood men were swashbuckling switch hitters, how dare they try to associate Africa with that man-made disease, even though it might have started in a lab somewhere in Africa, don't even try it you got it from her selfie switch hitting husband
Amanda was spectacular as Miss Kitty. Not just a stunningly beautiful woman, but also feisty. There is an opening scene in one of the half hour episodes where she, after having been in a brawl with a troublemaker, asks Matt: When are you gonna get around to shooting him?😄
I was always so fond of Ms Blake. I remember when she passed and i remember all things and speculation that were said. I remember reading that she was angry and hurt because her former cast mates didn't care thst she had aids. Who knows? Its just a terrible way to exit life.
didn’t know she died relatively young or that she was such animal activist, which was fantastic. so she and her husband helped save Cheetahs from fading out. that’s totally amazing. i hope she didn’t go in too much pain. hope you’re happy, wherever you are. :) 🌷🌱
I also still watch Gun Smoke. Amanda Blake was great as Miss.Kitty. I loved her relationship with Marshall Dillon. R.I.P Amanda and thank you so much for your love of animals and all you did for them.
There was no way of even testing the blood supply then, anyone who had surgery that required a blood transfusion would have been in danger at that time.
david valensi, basically very true. Aids testing was highly unreliable back then and there's ZERO proof that she had aids. She was not a drugs user nor ever promiscuous.
Grew up watching Gunsmoke . Loved Amanda Blake, I always thought She was in love with James Arness. It seems sad that She died so young . Rest In Peace . 💕.
Never really knew what Amanda Blake died from til this video. She was a great actress, grew up watching her on "Gunsmoke," Miss Kitty will always have a special place in my heart.
We just love Gunsmoke….my husband received the series for his birthday but we still watch on television too ….miss kitty Amanda Blake was amazing I’m sad they should’ve had Matt and her marry but I guess it wasn’t in the cards ☹️☹️
I found read elsewhere her husband was a politician that cheated on Amanda, and passed on the aids to Amanda. This new version of her contracting aids in Africa is bizarre. I think you should look further into the husband antics.
Love Gunsmoke it's on 6 to 8 times a day...the early episodes are the best ...black and white just fits the show the latter color ones are good but nothing like the black and white...Miss Kitty was some gal...!!!
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Amanda but sad at the same time sad because it's about her death. What role do you most remember her for?
Poor Lady, she was a great actress, loved her as miss Kitty. Doc, Festus , and Miss Kitty would come to the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo for many years. I was a kid feeding the stock, she walked by and said you look hot how about a big glass of lemonade? So I took a break and miss Kitty bought be a lemonade. I could tell she loved the animals.
One major theory I always heard was she contracted it from a possible blood transfusion from a surgery she had had a few years before. Whatever the reason, I guess it really doesn't matter because we lost a great woman to a terrible disease
In the early stages of the Aids/HIV epidemic it was not well know that it could be passed on through contaminated blood. So yes, it was very possible that is how she contracted it.
I use to wave to her ,she lived down the rd from on simmerhorn rd in Galt ca ,she always sat passenger ,but never actually had the pleasure of talking with her .
What's stupid is in this video they say "Chances are she didn't get it from her husband, most likely she got it on one of her many trips to Africa". Ok, but you don't get AIDS just because you went to Africa, so the question still remains HOW did she get it? I mean their explanation is about as stupid as it comes.
You don’t contract AIDS from visiting Africa. Did she have a “friend” on the side in Africa? Was she injured and received a blood transfusion with tainted blood? Without the answer that last part is pure speculation without a base and could’ve been left out. I do love me some Gunsmoke though and the chemistry with costars and her portrayal as Ms Kitty were aware some to watch.
How sad ..she wanted her cause of death private .. But instead it's blasted on You Tube Even in death she surely should have been able to keep her illness private 😢
We never missed Gunsmoke growing up. This actor always stole the scene when she entered the camera view. AIDS is a terrible disease, and it has taken many good people. Thanks
i was around 11 when i started watching Gunsmoke. along with George Reeves’ Lois Lane, Jeff’s mom in Lassie, women scientists in ‘50’s scifi movies, and Bette Davis, she was one of my models of womenhood. there weren’t that many in those days. Even Syd Caesar had only one woman comedian, Imogene Coca, whom i also loved, but that was the early ‘50’s. i liked strong women even as a kid. there definitely were other woman ‘stars’ in the ‘50’s - Nina Foch, Dinah Shore - but they were my models. Amanda Blake was amazing as Miss Kitty and i knew she and Matt Dillon had a thing. of course, in my early twenties, i realized they really had a Thing going. :) 🌷🌱 i’m sorry to hear she died only ay 60. 🥀
I remember, but had forgot. A lot of people back then got it from blood transfusions not saying that's how she was exposed, but they started scanning for it and that stopped.
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Amanda but at the same time are sad since it's about her death. What other types of video would you like to see?
I saw a documentary that said her 4th husband admitted to her is was bi-sexual , and she divorced him 3 months after their marriage , then he died 8 or 9 months later . He could of given it to her in the short time they were married .. Caught it in Africa ? Give me a break ..
I do not believe that she gave he last husband the disease. His family is probably trying to protect his image. I would like to see an expose on his life... maybe he was more promiscuous than detailed. This episode does not bode well Amanda Blake, and you should have done further research before making your final statement...quite irresponsible.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Grew up watching Gunsmoke. I was always waiting for Miss Kitty & Matt to get married...at least a kiss. Lol Retired now and so enjoy watching the reruns. Amanda was such a beautiful classy lady,/ unlike today's actors. Thank God for my parents, 3 brothers & for growing up in the 50s & 60s. Gunsmoke will last forever....
That she died of A.I.D.S. is of no consequences as far as I'm concerned. There are other means of acquiring the disease besides unnatural sex, or by tainted needles. I doubt that Ms. Blake had either in her past. RIP to one of my favorite TV personalities. I'll always think of her beauty and generous spirit.
@@Acejustforalaugh I knew someone that got it from a blood transfusion, in the early 80's he was in the Army and was in a Jeep that rolled over, this was before they knew what AIDS was and weren't testing blood donor's yet, they had to operate on him and the blood they gave him was tainted, he died from it by 1985, I think it was in 82 was when he was in the accident.
@@swolfe9668 " On August 16, 1989, Blake died of liver failure brought on by viral hepatitis at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento, California." Not AIDS.

How she died was what shocked me most. Both ways is tragic
She caught AIDS from her bisexual husband. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
One of the great actresses of our time. Truly a remarkable beautiful soul.

It's ironic that this video shows so much of Ronald Reagan who procrastinated for so many years to help the fight against AIDS...
Wonderful actress

Loved her!
I was surprised that she had raised those cats.
She was a great actress loved her on gunsmoke
You don’t contract AIDS from visiting Africa. Did she have a “friend” on the side in Africa? Was she injured and received a blood transfusion with tainted blood? Without the answer that last part is pure speculation without a base and could’ve been left out. I do love me some Gunsmoke though and the chemistry with costars and her portrayal as Ms Kitty were aware some to watch.
her husband was gay and he infected her with HIV
How sad ..she wanted her cause of death private ..
But instead it's blasted on You Tube
Even in death she surely should have been able to keep her illness private 😢
We never missed Gunsmoke growing up. This actor always stole the scene when she entered the camera view. AIDS is a terrible disease, and it has taken many good people. Thanks
You're a true fan! We're happy to know that you love Gunsmoke. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
Tragic death. No matter the cause
i was around 11 when i started watching Gunsmoke. along with George Reeves’ Lois Lane, Jeff’s mom in Lassie, women scientists in ‘50’s scifi movies, and Bette Davis, she was one of my models of womenhood. there weren’t that many in those days. Even Syd Caesar had only one woman comedian, Imogene Coca, whom i also loved, but that was the early ‘50’s. i liked strong women even as a kid. there definitely were other woman ‘stars’ in the ‘50’s - Nina Foch, Dinah Shore - but they were my models. Amanda Blake was amazing as Miss Kitty and i knew she and Matt Dillon had a thing. of course, in my early twenties, i realized they really had a Thing going. :) 🌷🌱
i’m sorry to hear she died only ay 60. 🥀
I had never heard about her having aids that was a real surprise
I remember, but had forgot. A lot of people back then got it from blood transfusions not saying that's how she was exposed, but they started scanning for it and that stopped.
We're happy to know that you learned something new about Amanda but at the same time are sad since it's about her death. What other types of video would you like to see?
This is mind blowing. Never heard of this stuff
She was beautiful. 😪
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. What is your favorite role of Amanda?
Love Amanda Blake and Gun Smoke.
Us too! Which Gunsmoke episode appealed to you the most?
Hope Amanda Blake's estate was passed to her animal charity, per her wishes, rather than to her relatives.
Animals are more loyal than people. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I saw a documentary that said her 4th husband admitted to her is was bi-sexual , and she divorced him 3 months after their marriage , then he died 8 or 9 months later . He could of given it to her in the short time they were married .. Caught it in Africa ? Give me a break ..
I was 10 years old and I was in love with her
Brings back memories. What is your favorite role of Amanda?
Amazing lady
I do not believe that she gave he last husband the disease. His family is probably trying to protect his image. I would like to see an expose on his life... maybe he was more promiscuous than detailed. This episode does not bode well Amanda Blake, and you should have done further research before making your final statement...quite irresponsible.
her husband gave it to her
Odd, no mention of transfusions during the oral procedures? Tainted blood is the usual blame.
Amanda Blake was a very good actress and a fine looking lady. Who's character of Miss Kitty in Gunsmoke projected a strong and very intelligent woman.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Amanda Blake seem to be a very beautiful decent woman anyone that loves animals that much cannot be bad😔✨💔✨
I said it was the aid's part that through me off. I have never heard of that before. 😢
She was smart enough to not to get mixed with that third husband . That stuff is to risky for anyone 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Grew up watching Gunsmoke. I was always waiting for Miss Kitty & Matt to get married...at least a kiss. Lol Retired now and so enjoy watching the reruns. Amanda was such a beautiful classy lady,/ unlike today's actors. Thank God for my parents, 3 brothers & for growing up in the 50s & 60s. Gunsmoke will last forever....
That she died of A.I.D.S. is of no consequences as far as I'm concerned. There are other means of acquiring the disease besides unnatural sex, or by tainted needles. I doubt that Ms. Blake had either in her past.
RIP to one of my favorite TV personalities. I'll always think of her beauty and generous spirit.
I'm not convinced that we know all the ways AIDS is transmitted. It's a very complicated disease.
Uh, "unnatural" sex isn't the only type of sex you can contract AIDS from, you can get it having "natural" sex just as easily you know.
Thank you for your beautiful tribute to Amanda Blake! Be safe and have a great day 👍

I knew someone that got it from a blood transfusion, in the early 80's he was in the Army and was in a Jeep that rolled over, this was before they knew what AIDS was and weren't testing blood donor's yet, they had to operate on him and the blood they gave him was tainted, he died from it by 1985, I think it was in 82 was when he was in the accident.
She was a very good actress.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Amanda Blake died from lung cancer and liver failure due to her smoking addiction. Supposedly, she had aids but that was never proven.
yes it was, Amanda gave an interview cursing her husband who gave her HIV
@@swolfe9668 " On August 16, 1989, Blake died of liver failure brought on by viral hepatitis at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento, California." Not AIDS.
I thought she was so pretty it's really ashamed that had died of such a tragic disease
Yes, Amanda is definitely pretty. May she find peace 😭
It's so sad but I knew I read an article about her death in my favorite
Amanda Blake was a beautiful women an we still enjoy watching Gunsmoke
We agree! What is your favorite episode?
Enjoyed her wardrobe as 'Miss Kitty.'
Us too! Be safe and have a great weekend 💕
I saw an interview that said one husband was bi sexual and brought it home.. .. Your thoughts please..
Amanda's husband was leading a double life. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
That's is exactly the story I have always heard. Very sad.
