Longforgotten "Miss Kitty"

I watch the "Gunsmoke" re-runs, almost every day, on the Westerns Channel. Amanda Blake's beauty takes my breath away. It's funny, EVEN in black-and-white, you just KNOW that she's a
redhead! The beauty mark on her right cheek highlighted an already gorgeous face. It's too bad
but "Gunsmoke's" success (20 years!) actually worked against her. Even though she left the show the year BEFORE it was finally cancelled, she found herself "typecast," and only able to secure work in TV shows like "Hart to Hart," and "The Love Boat." I mean, she HAD a movie career BEFORE
"Gunsmoke." Even though her life was cut short, I like to think she had a GOOD one; surrounded by friends, family, loved ones and a loyal fan base. Amanda will live on, in our hearts, via the
"Gunsmoke" re-runs, FOREVER! I love 'ya, "Miss Kitty." -

True that Amanda Blake portrayed Miss Kitty as beautiful, caring, sensitive, self-confident, intelligent, self-sacrificing, dependable, elegant and self-sufficient.
Neither Amanda nor Miss Kitty would be forgotten by her many fans, who esteem her dearly.

I had a "Miss Kitty" today. This bar I went to had a broiled chicken sandwich named after the Gunsmoke character. It brought back some fine memories of Amanda Blake and Miss Kitty. Such a shame she died too young.

Oh yes, Amanda Blake was quite lovely and beautiful. She carried herself with grace and poise and determination.
That is very wonderful for Amanda to co-form the Animal Welfare League with its "no kill" shelter, and wonderful that she cared for everybody.
Yes, that is tragic that we were left without Amanda at such a young age, and with all of the pain and suffering which she had to endure. Such a fine lady, who deserves to be remembered more as a great actress and beautiful individual. -

She was the first true feminist portrayed on TV.
And she didn't hate men, unlike how most feminist charachters are written to be like these days.
She could sure hold her own against ALL the men in the cast, and good writing for her part helped, too.

True, Amanda Blake is well-remembered for her role as Miss Kitty, and also very appreciated as a national treasure, great beauty and outstanding actress in everything she does.
Her Miss Kitty comes across as independent, authoritative, fearless, sharp and brilliant, and also very lovely, stylish, elegant, caring and romantic.
Amanda was taken very much too soon, and although the careless may not appreciate her many contributions to television, the caring appreciate her as Longforgotten 'Miss Kitty' plus everything else she has done for the sake of goodness.
