Akron Beacon Journal, December 6,
A lady called the Beacon Journal a few weeks ago to ask if the man who plays bristly Festus Haggen on “Gunsmoke” is the father of the actor who plays good guy Jim Buckley on the syndicated “Ripcord” series. After all, she said, they’re both named Ken Curtis.
No, I explained, they’re both named Ken Curtis because they’re the same person. She didn’t believe me at first, but I soon managed to convince her.
Still that woman came closer to the truth than a man who called the office when Curtis first joined the “Gunsmoke” cast. This man had bet that Festus Haggen was really comedian Howard Morris.
That was a typical call. Seems everyone tries to settle a bet by calling a newspaper. Trouble is, we don’t always have the answer.
(Inexplicably, the most popular bet call these days concerns Bing Crosby’s age. He’s 60, if you’re interested. The date of his birth: May 4, )
