Here's a Quiz:

They were in a long lasting(popular) Western series together that started in the 50's and ended in the 80's.

These people were inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City in 1968.

Any idea who they are?
I will say, their original name is not who you remember them by.


Born= Beverly Louise Neill..Actress
February 20, 1929
Buffalo, New York, USA
Died= August 16, 1989 (aged 60)
Sacramento, California



Curtis Wain Gates....Singer..Actor
Born= July 2, 1916

Colleen wins the first round! http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/1.gif (broken link) http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/1.gif (broken link)http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/1.gif (broken link)http://bestsmileys.com/clapping/1.gif (broken link)

"Miss Kitty Russell" (she was 19 when she started on "Gunsmoke")

Her boigraphy is very interesting.
Amanda Blake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They say she died of aids.

Now you know the show, it should be easy to guess the other one.

I think the first answer is Bob Wills and the Lightcrust Doughboys. You know they performed in Fort Worth, for the flour company.
