Matt Dillon is a fictional character and the central figure in the American television series "Gunsmoke," which aired from 1955 to 1975. He was portrayed by actor James Arness and served as the U.S. Marshal of Dodge City, Kansas. While Dillon was not a real sheriff, the show was inspired by the Old West and featured stories and characters reminiscent of that era.
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.

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.
