SO LONG, NANCY GATES...


You were a cowgirl supreme, Ms. Gates, a veteran of the cinematic West,  spanning such rollicking entries as "Gunfight at Dodge City"; "Rawhide Trail"; "Cheyenne Takes Over"; "Check Your Guns"; "Stranger on Horseback"; "Masterson of Kansas"; "The Brass Legend"; "Nevada"; "Comanche Station"; and the Red Ryder serial, "Roll, Thunder, Roll!"


You also covered such unique ground as "The Atomic City"; "No Man's Woman"; "Hell's Half Acre"; "Target Hong Kong"; "The Master Race"; "Hitler's Children"; "The Spanish Main"; "At Sword's Point"; "The Bottom of the Bottle"; "Magnificent Roughnecks"; "Suddenly!"; "Some Came Running"; "Death of a Scoundrel"; "Top of the World"; "The Great Gildersleeve" movies; and the science-fiction spectacular, "World Without End". 


On the small screen, you were just as dynamic, with guest starring roles on "Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre"; "Bonanza"; "Rawhide": "Maverick"; "Wagon Train"; "Tales of Wells Fargo"; "Laramie"; "Damon Runyon Theater"; "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"; "Burke's Law"; "Perry Mason"; "Hawaiian Eye"; "The Millionaire"; "The Mod Squad"; and "77 Sunset Strip". 


As you ride off into the sunset, be assured that you leave us a legacy of unequaled fun, excitement and bold adventure: the essential ingredients that all movie fans crave and will always celebrate.
