"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

They even cancelled Gilligan's Island so that Gunsmoke could stay on the air. We have this hottie to thank for that decision... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Paley Babe indeed... https://imgur.com/a/TknNqaI Hot chicks prefer Gunsmoke ;)

You know what I fucking bet...

I bet this character was inspired by and made for 1915 New York born Gunsmoke superfan Babe Paley...



I bet you she spoke with an uppity transatlantic accent and that's why they did this.

I can't find any interviews with her actually speaking on YouTube, but I bet this is the answer.

Sigourney Weaver played her in a movie, and that's all we have to go on as far as how she may have talked...



There's a SLIGHT touch of transatlantic going on there, but not a lot. You'd think they'd try to make her portrayal as accurate as possible, but with no clips out there of Babe actually speaking, who knows.

This is my theory though.
