US actor James Arness was born James Aurness on May 26, 1923 and died on June 3, 2011. James Arness would have been 88 years old at the time of his death.
He rode a number of different horses - Marshal , Faithful Old Buck .
Reports say Dillon's horse, Buck, retired into helping mental patients, learn to ride, until it's death in 1992. The horse was said to 45 years old, subtract that from 1992, you're at 1947. Gunsmokes first aired in 1955...that would have made the horse 8 years old, at the first episode.
Gunsmoke - 1955 Taps for Old Jeb 11-5 was released on: USA: 16 October 1965
He was 15 years old, and was taught some chords by his school pal Ian James.

He's still around. His website says he posts a personal message every month, but the latest entry is a couple of months old. Hope that's just because he's on vacation or something. http://www.jamesarness.com/ Update: Jim passed away in June, 2011, but his wife, Janet, has continued to update the website.
