Who Is Still Alive From ‘Have Gun – Will Travel’?

Television viewers had plenty of Westerns to choose from in 1957, but Have Gun – Will Travel offered a different kind of gunfighter. Richard Boone‘s Paladin lived comfortably at San Francisco’s Hotel Carlton, dressed in expensive clothes and often enjoying the finer things in life. However, when one of his clients needed help, he was always willing to travel anywhere and face almost any danger.

The CBS series premiered on September 14, 1957, and ran for six seasons and 225 episodes before ending on April 20, 1963. It became one of television’s most popular Westerns, ranking among the top four shows during each of its first four seasons. The show had a small principal cast: Boone, Kam Tong as Hey Boy, and Lisa Lu as Hey Girl. Nearly 70 years after its premiere, Lu is the only one still alive.
