James Arness, from “Them!” to “Gunsmoke” and "How the West Was Won." Times TV critic Howard Rosenberg interviewed Arness (or tried to) in 1981 as he began working on “McClain’s Law.” Arness was thrifty with his comments – except when it came to the environment. |

1. Marshal Dillon spent his off time in the Long Branch Saloon, which probably had a whorehouse upstairs; drinking coffee, which probably had whiskey in it; hanging out with Miss Kitty, who was obviously a madam and his main but not exclusive squeeze; and ogling the bar floozies, who often propelled the plots. Occasionally he shot someone who needed killing. MY HERO!
2. Arness also played a hostile vegetable from outer space in The Thing. He had range.
