Aug. 15, 1964 - Actress Amanda Blake, Kitty, the saloon girl in the “Gunsmoke” series and her real-life cattleman from Arizona, Jason S. Day, were married today.
Some 225 persons, including many of the other stars of the long-running TV show, attended the 20-minute ceremony at Christ Unity Church of Los Angeles.
On hand were Burt (Quint the blacksmith) Reynolds, Dennis (Chester) Weaver, and Peter Graves, brother of Jim (Marshal Dillon) Arness, who was unable to attend the wedding but was to attend the reception later.
A vocalist sang several numbers with a love motif before and after the ceremony, performed by Dr. Ernest Wilson.
