FLIP, May 1972
Pete Duel's tragic and untimely death left deep marks on many — his family and untold thousands of loyal fans — but the one friend who probably had the most difficult adjustment to make was his co-star in Alias Smith and Jones, Ben Murphy.
Ben is a usually warm and out-going kind of guy, but he's kind of quiet nowadays. He had a strong friendship with the quite, introverted Pete [though this has since been discounted by Ben; he says he wasn't friends, but colleagues, with Peter]. They were near opposites in many ways, but working together every day ... Read More

There's one thing everyone knows about Pete Duel: he put a bullet through his head after watching himself play Hannibal Heyes in Alias Smith and Jones. Trouble is, as Sue Weekes finds, that may not be the whole truth...
'ALL HAVE A great show' were Pete Duel's last words to co-star and narrator Roger Davis as he walked off the Alias Smith and Jones set. Davis didn't think much about it at the time. The words only sounded significant when the show's producer Roy Huggins met him at Aspen airport and told him that Duel ... Read More

TV Star Annual, May 1972
In the early hours of December 31, 1971, Peter Duel whispered to his half-asleep fiancee, Dianne Ray, "I'll see you later," and left the bedroom of his simple ranch house. Seemingly moments later, Dianne was completely aroused by what sounded like a gunshot in the living room. She tore out of the bed horrified by her suspicion of what had happened. Her worst fears were confirmed when she found Peter Duel's lifeless body lying beside their Christmas tree.
Police investigators found the weapon near his body in a position which indicated that Peter had, indeed, pulled the ... Read More

Photo Mirror, September 1972
Alias Smith and Jones is anything but an ordinary Western. Oh, it's got lots of cowboys, six-shooters, and horses, but beyond that it takes its own course. Perhaps not as far-fetched as The Wild, Wild, Wild West, but it still has a television personality of its own. The story of Alias Smith and Jones, both on the set and off, is a very unusual one.
Concerning the content of the program itself, Smith and Jones are a pair of outlaws trying to go straight in the Old West. Unfortunately, going straight is not, for them at least, a ... Read More

Dear Rona, Rona Barrett's Hollywood, June 1972
Dear Rona,
During the week between Christmas and New Year's, my family and I took a trip to Los Angeles. On Dec. 30th, we took the Universal Studios tour. They were filming Alias Smith and Jones. The enclosed picture of Peter Duel was taken at 3 p.m. on that same day, when he was walking back to his dressing room. My Mom said to him, "Gee, Pete, you really are a doll." And with that, he gave us a great big smile.
Can you imagine the shock we felt the next morning hearing the terrible ... Read More
