Auction History Result 9s0010 GUNSMOKE group of 2 TV final draft scripts 1959 Lucy Marlow's personal copies, Change of Heart! Date Sold 9/5/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Group of 2 Original Vintage Television Scripts (each measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], each has 34 pages) (Learn More) Gunsmoke, the 1955 - 1975 long-running cowboy western television (TV) series starring James Arness (as Marshal Matt Dillon), Milburn Stone (as Doc), Amanda Blake (as Kitty), Ken Curtis (as Festus), Dennis Weaver (as Chester), and Buck Taylor (as Newly). Note that Dennis Weaver left the show in 1964, which was a sad day for the show! Important Added Info: Note that these scripts are both identical final drafts for the episode "Change of Heart" (which aired on April 25, 1959) and the screenplay was written by John Meston, and Lucy Marlow played Bella Grant in this episode. One wonders why Miss Marlow received two copies of the script. One of them has what looks like coffee staining on the cover, and perhaps after that happened, she asked for and was given another script. It is one of eleven scripts that is the personal property of actress Lucy Marlow (her name is written on the cover), who appeared in this production (we are auctioning the eleven scripts in eleven separate auctions). Miss Marlow started acting in 1954, and after an uncredited appearance in "Lucky Me", she got a giant break playing Lola Lavery in "A Star is Born" in 1954. That same year, she met James Dean and they became good friends until his sad passing the following year. After A Star is Born, she appeared in five more movies and several TV appearances, but in 1955, she married Andy Carey, who was the third baseman for the New York Yankees, and she mostly retired and had two children. She remained retired and passed away in December 2018. She spent her last few years with her daughter, who has consigned these scripts to us, and it is a 100% certainty that these were her personal scripts (and some include very rare stills from those productions, and her name is written on some, and this information is noted above). One wonders what kind of career Lucy Marlow would have had had she not married and retired, and of course, we can never know that, but this auction gives one person a very rare opportunity to own her own personal script from this production! Condition: good to very good. One of the two identical scripts has stains on the cover. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the exact condition of these scripts.
