| He played the laconic rancher with no name on the revolutionary NBC series. Among Westerns, only 'Gunsmoke' and 'Bonanza' lasted longer. James Drury, who starred as the no-name, no-nonsense foreman of the Shiloh Ranch on The Virginian, one of the longest-running Westerns in the history of television, died Monday of natural causes. He was 85. Drury died at his home in Houston, Texas.   "Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?"

| Sorry to hear this. Around 1970-ish, James did a meet and greet at our school. I had no idea then - or now - why he came to a tiny, out of the way town in northern Michigan, but it was cool to see The Virginian in person. | |
