Festus once said if he were God, he'd have put the mouth on the top of his head so he could put food in his hat and eat while riding his horse. Along with an eye on the end of his index finger to see around the corner in a gun fight. Genius, huh?

Did you know...
Ken Curtis 1916-91 served in the U.S. Army from 1943-45 during WWII serving in Italy where he was awarded the Bronze Star for his heroic actions.
Curtis was a singer before moving into acting joining Tommy Dorsey in 1941 and Sons of the Pioneers as lead singer, 1949-53 and from 1955-57.
Columbia Pictures signed Curtis to a contract in 1945 where he starred in many westerns, most notably with John Wayne, The Searchers & Rio Grande.
Ken is best known for his role as Festus Haggen, the scruffy, cantankerous, and illiterate Deputy on Gunsmoke, and the rest is TV history.
Ken died on April 28, 1991, in his sleep of a heart attack. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered in the Colorado Flatlands.
