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.
Although originally distrusted by Matt and the townspeople, Festus was eventually accepted by them and became the only full-time official deputy marshal of Gunsmoke. In episodes such as Deadman's Law, he was in charge of the town.
