The Tragic Death of James Arness’ Wife & Daughter - บันเทิง
Do you know why James Arness never kissed Miss Kitty? Find out why here: th-cam.com/video/uH-tz7yoR5I/w-d-xo.html
He met his first wife in CA. She had a child by her first marriage, and he adopted him. She had mental problems and he ended up getting custody after their divorce. His daughter died by suicide. His first wife died accidentally by drug overdose. He was married to his second wife until he died. So many errors that it’s insulting to Mr. Arness’ memory.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info about James. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Thank you for the clarification. Even the author is clueless. Not even acknowledging his inaccuracies and just asking the same question he asks everyone about what they want to see. It's all about the clicks.
Hr divorced his first wife because she had mental problems. He never divorced Janet. Story is NOT accurate!
@@FactsVerseaccurate ones!

Is there a profile about Bill Bixby?
James brother was the Mission Impossible actor Peter Graves.
Im so sad he went thru this. I love watching him on Gunsmoke. Thank you😊
NEW: Florida cops have obtained a second sex tape involving Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler - this time, showing her having sex with another woman. This follows the video recorded by Ziegler’s husband, state GOP chair Christian Ziegler, showing him and his wife having a threesome with a female friend.
Is ANYONE surprised by their sheer hypocrisy?? 🤨
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I do not think the facts about either wife to be correct.
Should be called "Made up Facts verse". So many untruths!
James Arness was a great actor
A veteran actor said Jim had confided to him that they'd were in therapy because he avoided discussing his daughters death, he later told Bill O'Rielly that he lacked the maturity to deal with it the right way which lead to family therapy. Other actors said Gunsmoke kept him away from home too much but you'd never know he half owned the show because he was such a low key humble boss behind the scenes.
Very interesting, than kyou so much for sharing this info about Jim. May they all find peace 😢😢
I love Gum Smoke. I wasn't aware of the tragic loss of his Daughter 😥
I find it interesting how he and his brother Peter Graves kept such separate identities. This is apparent by how his brother Peter chose a different last name so he didn’t receive any favors from his brother James’s success.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Actually,Graves was a family name also. So that was not true.
@@sonjanewstrom6228I said he chose a different last name but I didn’t say it was made up. If I decided to use my mothers last name versus my fathers, I still have chosen a different last name.
Just wandering why shots of actress Ruta Lee keep appearing when speaking about Mr. Arness' daughter? Mrs Lee, to my knowledge, is close to 90 and still alive and well
I liked Gun Smoke. I like watching shows that are from the past. Like little house on the prairie.
Me too
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?

I didn’t know that Amanda Blake “Kitty” died of complications due to AIDS! So sad!
Most people didn't know she was a lesbian either.
HOLD IT!!!!! RIP Jim
This video is not true. Google him and get the facts
What happened to his boy
I did not know that he had his second wife are divorced. I thought they were together all that time. So when he was living in that house, he was alone? Wow!
He and his second wife were not divorced. They were married for 33 yrs until his death in 2011.
Why when the narrator was talking about the daughter did the video show a picture of a young woman who appeared to be angry with Matt Dillon?
Good question.
That’s what I thought ,that women was Ruta Lee.
Is this going to be a long story
🤔 Not really. This is TH-cam not the real world ,with all the best bits cut out. Mary Poppins is always watching !!..
The woman is Ruta Lee, an actress!
Glad to see the implied Fox News thumbnail is back.
What the hell does Laura Ingraham
have to do with James Arness and his family?

It’s sad that all this misinformation can stay on the internet. Much of this not factual :(
James Arness was still married to his second wife at time when he died
Thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
A president who sometimes don’t know his name? Thinks he’s running for congress???!?
Enemies won’t take advantage of that?

I never heard how tragically James wife died. His daughter yes, drugs are terrible and I feel for anyone dealing with that. Also why do your video clips not always line up with who your talking about?
This is a lot of false information.
This is such a bullcrap channel!
