Great Bio of the lovely Ms. Blake. I remember back in the mid 1980's becoming acquainted with her shortly after her then husband had died. We would get together at her favorite restaurant in Paradise Valley. She was always fascinating to be with, and her affection for her beloved animal family was legendary. RIP dear Amanda.

Amanda Blake was world class. My favorite episode featuring her was " Stella" when Jacqueline Scott played Stella, a lady who bought a saloon across the street from the Longbranch to put Kitty out of business. The rivalry between the two characters was great. Every episode with Jacqueline Scott was a good one. She was such a multi-talented actress, along with singing and dancing.

When I was a grad student in film production at UCLA our first assignment in editing class was to edit part of an episode of Gunsmoke from the original footage. All of us from that era remember that fondly: How good the camera work and direction were.

Thank you for paying kind respects to Amanda, someone who in her own way changed my life and the lives of many for the better. My father was long-time friends with many in Hollywood, and Amanda and Frank were is long time family friends. My father, a rodeo cowboy, Stuntman, part-time casting agent and actor who was long time friends with Amanda, Ken Curtis, Milburn Stone, and of all the the Hollywood celebrities I knew when growing up, Amanda holds a special place in my heart for her tough, determined and compassionate heart. My father was also a Navy pilot who introduced Amanda to general aviation in the early days of her gunsmoke carrier, and later in the 70s she and Frank bought a Cessna 411 and hired a professional pilot for their business and pleasure travels. I expect they used the Cessna to commute from their ranch to Hollywood and when she said she did not like airplanes was a practical concern related to the old 411 and some close calls in their aircraft and I seem to recall Amanda and Frank having had a close call on a bush flight they took in Africa. My warmest memory of Amanda was during one of their close calls in the Cessna 411, in the mid-70s when they flew with us in their airplane on a fishing trip to Twin-Lakes lodge in British Colombia Canada, and we were clearing customs in Abbotsford BC, and I as a young boy when I noticed a taxiway marker light that had been damaged buy a propeller or something, next to where we were parked, and I tapped it with my foot and and it fell over and lens hit the tarmac and broke. My father started scolding me quite harshly for demolishing the light, (as it did as the harbor master in Cookoo's Nest kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjXeHh_lK5nodk), just as Amanda and her pilot walked up to see why I was getting such a tongue-lashing. Amanda, Frank and their pilot said looked at the broken taxi-light and said : "LOOK! that that boy could not have damaged that light, it was taken out by a propeller, look at how it's been cut up!", but to protect his ego, my father doubled-down with his scolding. Amanda pipped up and said "THAT'S ENOUGH!" but my father persisted. Amanda again Said "STOP IT NOW!" and my father aside and sad "Look Mel, you do that and you'll ruin that boy, so quit acting like a little boy and grow up and apologize to your son". My father refused to apologize. Amanda placed her arm around me, gave my father a stern look (as we've seen in Gunsmoke) and Said, Come on, you don't have to put up with that, you're coming with us and ushered me up the air-stairs to their airplane as my father stood dumbstruck. On the way to the fishing lodge a couple of hours away, Amanda instructed me to stand-up to my father and anyone who tried to walk-over me and that my father and other would respect me if I did, Frank and his sons who were a bit older than me also lovingly expressed some life-shaping advice and encouragement about to deal with my father and people that still resonates with me today. The wake-up call Amanda administered to my father also changed how my father related to me and others, and without Amanda standing up to him, I think our lives would have been much the worse, and I am eternally grateful for Amanda and Frank for being the people they were and for being there for me. To continue with the flying close call story: When we arrived over the lodge, Amanda's pilot requested the airstrip elevation, but the lodge owner reported the elevation which was about 4800ft, rather than the field length which was only 2800ft, right on the edge for the big heavy old Cessna 411 and we landed fast and spun-out on the grass, nearly running off the end of the runway, through the boat dock and into the lake. I also remember while viewing a slide-reel with Frank and Amanda of one of their Africa trips. Amanda loved Africa, and my father asking Frank why people go to Africa, and Frank said: "Hell, other than the animals I see no reason, it's hot, dusty dammed uncomfortable but if Amanda loves it I'll go with her" Frank also related to my mother how troubled his son's were from his troubled marriage with their mother, and how Amanda was the best mother his boys could have had, and he could love her more for mentoring them into the fine young men they were. Thank you again for producing this and anyone who took the time to read this and for a moment to remember Amanda, and ponder what she gave to the world and so many others.

@@user-76hanging-on Thank you, from my recollection , Amanda was a private and unassuming person, and very much like the character she portrayed. A tough, frank and practical lady with a strong heart for others. A few other Hollywood well-known personalities My father and mother new as friends, and whom I met whom I recall as down-to-earth and having a warm and special spirit were: Milburn Stone 'Doc', Fess Parker 'Daniel Boon', Cliff Robertson, and Jack "Mick" Lord (Stoney Burke/Steve McGarrett Hawaii-Five-O) And Sammy Davis late Jr's wife Altovise Davis. My mom and Dad worked with 'Marilyn Monroe' on Bus Stop, and they both came away with quite a heart-felt fondness for her. My mother later remarked after her death, "What as dear, sweet and special young girl, and Hollywood and those Kennedys killed her" (Based partly on what Norman Mailer said to my mom and dad before he wrote his best selling book about Marilyn and her death. I've thought for some time having something like a dedicated website like Facebook where others could share personal recollections about who people who are so close to our hearts were as people in addition to the characters they portrayed

Love the comments as they round out the story of her life. By the way you might want to have someone familiar with the actors background photos of the time period to more closely review the photo identified as Amanda & Frank. I believe the photo is of singer & entertainer Phil Harris. As for some of her latter episodes Hostage & Lost were great but they could have been better if done as 2 parters. Growing up in my late teens early 20’s there wasn’t many role models that could have handled the subject of gang rape recovery or literally bouncing back from being lost in the wilderness & connecting to & mentoring the wild child. Blake had the strength as an actress that could. True it was a family show but all the more reason. Stand Tall …. She stood taller than any of them. Someone should have told Mantley there are 2 types of complainers those who just want to make waves & those who want & know how to make things better. Cancer isn’t for sissies.

@@susanvonthun620 Thank you. In the photo of Amanda and Frank Gilbert, Frank does look a bit like Phil Harris. It's been a LONG time ago but that does look like how I remember Frank. I found other versions of the photo online and doing an image search there's a press photo titled "1967 Press Photo Gunsmoke star Amanda Blake and Frank Gilbert at wedding in AZ | eBay' with a description on the photo describing it as a wedding photo. They were both pretty much the strong, stand-up commanding type, Frank perhaps a bit to commanding. My dad did a bit of stunt double work on a few of the early Gunsmoke episodes and learned from the same stuntman and school as Burt Reynolds so he knew Burt, Dennis Weaver and but was long time friends with Ken Curtis, whom I met once and was much different than I expected. Dad used to book Ken, Milburn Stone and Amanda at rodeos and state fairs as Celiberty guests, as was common at the time, they always seemed to enjoy meeting fans and and locals. I recall every year at the Arizona, California and New Mexico State Fairs, Amanda, Ken and Milburn used to take great pleasure visiting children's hospitals and being with the kids. My dad asked Arness, Weaver and Reynolds and they always refused. Ken Curtis (Festus) and Milburn stone used to do short Stand-up comedy routine at Rodeo intermissions and at the Kids homes and hospitals just like you see on Gunsmoke and it was fun. One year at at the California Rodeo and fair in Salinas, someone brought two cute African American kids who had became separated from their parents to the Announcing Stand, where Milburn and Ken were waiting to do their routine. Kids were scared and crying and Milburn comforted them until their parents could arrive. My Dad, and Milburn chatted with the kids over he microphone, and the kids and audience quite enjoyed that. It took quite a bit of time for the parent's to arrive and they were quite astonished to see "Doc" Watching over their kids. My dad having turned the search and reunion into a bit of entertainment for the audience said over the Mic as the kids and their parents were leaving: "There goes two of the sweetest, and cutest little buzzards you've ever seen" 'Buzzards' Being old cowboy term of endearment for kids he use to refer to my sister and me , I.e "Come meet my two little buzzards", and the next day two representatives from the NAACP showed-up and threatened to sue the California Rodeo and State Fair, and my father for comparing the kids to "scavenger birds that eat rotten meat" Milburne and Ken Curtis were there and helped bring some sanity to the scene. Celebrities for the most part back then had a respect for their audience we don't see today, but Amanda, Ken and Milburn had a love for their audience and people. I wish America could return to that.

Back when the show was first on I was quite young - I still thought Miss Kitty was smoking hot. And yes Gunsmoke was the top western ever, in it's day it was more popular than Game of Thrones - for well over a decade straight. Watching it was an institution - and many of the people who watched it, like my grandparents, were born in the 19th century and could remember the lifestyle depicted. In the 1960's there was real nostalgia felt by these people, it was part of why westerns were so popular. PS - the oldest person I actually knew back then was born in 1872 and died at age 107.
