  1. Kitty Russell, played by Amanda Blake, left Gunsmoke in 1974 because Amanda Blake decided to retire from the show. After playing the character for nearly 20 years, Blake wanted to focus on other aspects of her life, including her work with animal welfare—she was a passionate animal rights advocate.

    Her departure was a personal choice rather than a storyline decision or contract dispute. The show continued without Kitty, introducing new characters to fill the void.
