Where To Watch
How well do you know the women of TV westerns?
Remember Miss Kitty, Dulcey, Wrangler Jane, Jemima and Hey Girl?
Westerns are primarily known for their cowboy heroes. But there are some strong women on those classic shows, too. The Long Branch Saloon didn't just run itself.
From sharpshooters to wranglers to ranch owners, these women carved memorable roles. See if you can match them to the correct TV series.
Good luck!

You got 13 out of 13
13 out of 13. I love my westerns. My Mom always watched "The High Chaparral" and "Lancer". "Daniel Boone" would make a very good addition to the western lineup. Veronica Cartwright said she was fired from "Daniel Boone" because Patricia Blair didn't want to work with her because she was making her look old. She said, "Her or me." I would have said to Miss Blair, "Good luck with your next series!"
* 12 of 13! Many good guesses!

Missed one. Guessed on 4 -5. So, considering the fact hat I 'gambled' heavily . . . . . . . .
13/13. Love the old Westerns. Still feel insulted when Paladin calls the helpers "Hey Girl" or "Hey Boy". Never understood that because otherwise he seems to treat them with respect.
I agree.
The important thing is they were treated with respect, at a time when, in real life, the Chinese were not even noticed.
To put it into perspective for you.
The next time you go out to eat, use the server's/waiter's/waitress' name instead of 'Waiter!'.
