By 2024, after a staggering 68 years since the premiere of “Gunsmoke,” only a handful of cast members are still with us. The series, a beloved icon of classic American television, starred James Arness as Matt Dillon, who sadly left us in 2011. Among the surviving actors, Buck Taylor, who joined the series later as Newly O’Brien, is from the original cast. The enduring legacy of “Gunsmoke” lives on through its reruns, captivating and engaging new generations while paying tribute to the beloved cast.
