This is an interview with Amanda Blake where she answers the question - what exactly did Miss Kitty do at the Long Branch saloon for 19 years? Interview on the Mike Douglas show in 1974
This entire interview used to be available here on UTube. It was wonderfully entertaining as only the lovely Amada Blake can be. It was taped after she had announced that she was leaving Gunsmoke after 19 seasons, but as you can see, she still looked fantastic....love this lady!
Not the best written show but the personalities are what makes most good great shows any way...When my father was watching back in the 60's..No-Body Talked..Lollll
Almost every episode of Gunsmoke for 20 years had prostitutes in it, in the Long Branch. That’s what all those women were doing going upstairs and down from the rooms and mingling with men. There weren’t saloons on the western frontier with women just hanging out there, nor were they merely just entertainers or servers. Kitty started the series as one of those girls and even the network decided to give her a promotion because they didn’t want Matt’s love interest to be a sex worker. 🙄
Amanda Blake had a beautiful voice!! Gunsmoke would not have been the same without her!!
Yes a beautiful voice! Miss kitty is my favorkte!❤

Amanda Blake was so wonderful as Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke. She will always be remembered for her role. Matt and Kitty were really inove.
She is so cute!!! TY for sharing.
I enjoyed the show so much but Miss Kitty was my favorite. Such a beautiful lady
Amanda Blake was 45 years old here and still looked really good for her age.
Adirondack - MY GOSH, she was in her 40's, NOT 80's!!!!
The Gunsmoke radio show said flat out that Miss Kitty ran a brothel.
Simply my favorite Western Gunsmoke
Her face is perfectly beautiful.
love this. wish there were more of the program available to watch
When talk show host we're talk show host and not clowns like Maury Povich and Jerry Springer
Yes indeed, I used to watch the Mike Douglas Show back in the 70s.

Thanks for uploading!
@chatte578 No problem! Are you a Gunsmoke fan?! :D That makes me happy
The real Long Branch was on the respectable side of town. Not sure that it was a brothel.
She was such a gorgeous woman ❤❤❤❤
I love gun smoke
Call it naivete' but I never saw "Madam".
I saw "Business Woman".
When was there ever an episode that showed prostitutes at the Long Branch?

When the girls went upstairs with a guy. Subtle, but it was there. You didn't think they were going to play scrabble, did you.
Do know where all this interview is ???
I didn't know that Kitty was a madam. I thought that she was just the owner of the Long Branch. Little did I know that you could get some kitty too.
You couldn’t though because as a madam she wasn’t for sale.
I loved Amanda Blake...very attractive - physically and every other way...Wish she had stayed with Frank instead of that turd in Austin...
