AP. FRESNO, Calif., April 30â Ken Curtis, a singer and actor who played the scruffy deputy Festus on the television series Gunsmoke, died in his sleep on Sunday at his home. He was 74 years old. His death was attributed to natural causes, said A. C. Lyle, a producer at Paramount Studios.
Gunsmoke is also the most unique television series that has ever been broadcast on television. Not only was it originally a radio series, but when CBS television decided to put it on television John Wayne introduced it. The actor William Conrad portrayed Marshall Dillon when Gunsmoke was on radio. However, he could not have the same part on television. William Conrad was obese. His role was acceptable on radio, due to his very distinctive voice.
