Amanda Blake, played the role of Kitty Russell, and was the owner of the Long Branch Saloon, on the longest running Western Series ~ "Gunsmoke" (The show ran for 20 years on the CBS Network).

It's a mystery about her sex life. It was no secret that she had gay and lesbian friends. There's a Western themed bar in California, she would go to often.

In a way, it was good that she never let much (if any) of her private life be told. Because, back in the days when she was in Hollywood, if any story got out about her being a lesbian. She would have been fired immediately, and would have never worked in Hollywood ever again.

Amanda Blake, did die from AIDS, but, all that is known, is that it was from a blood transfusion. So, whether Amanda Blake was gay / lesbian or not ~ we may never know.
