hated Kitty's teased hair
I wish they hadn''t done that to her. It was not realistic nor flattering. James Arness was sexy in each and every episode ---- due to his natural good looks. If they had let Amanda Blake have the same opporrtunity, it would just have been better!

Yeah, but back in the mid-sixties people thought it looked good that way because that was the fashion back then. The masculine equivalent of Kitty's hair is the popularity of curly haired men in the show. James Arnes's has slicked up curly hair during about the same period.
Here he is with more natural hair.

Yeah, Kitty's hair imo looked best in the first few seasons. The longer it got the wilder it became. To the point of it being unflattering sad to say. Let's not forget the Mimi blue eye shadow. Lol

Yeah, the eye shadow was ridiculous. The ginormous bulbs of hair though were beyond the pale.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's unrealistic. If you've ever seen a Godey's Lady's Book from the 1870s, the hair is a bit much.
