* Ronald Reagan] among his last acting roles in 1965, played the shrewd banker William Chapman Ralston, with Vaughn Taylor as financier Asbury Harpending, in "Raid on the San Francisco Mint" and [[Admiral]] David Glasgow Farragut, with June Dayton as Mrs. Virginia Farragut, in "The Battle of San Francisco Bay," the story of the 1856 seizure of power by the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. Reagan was cast too in "No Gun Behind His Badge" as the historical Thomas J. Smith, the marshal of Abilene, Kansas, in 1869 and 1870, in which capacity he tried with fatal results to avoid the use of firearms in the line of duty. (However, as the article on Smith says "The television dramatization does not accurately depict the circumstances of Smith's death and decapitation." In particular Smith was using a gun at the time of the incident that killed him.) On September 30, 1965, Reagan played James B. Hume in "Temporary Warden," the story of a warden at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, Nevada. In still another appearance, Reagan played [[U.S. Senator]] George Graham Vest, a [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] from [[Missouri]], in the 1964 episode "Tribute to the Dog." The episode focuses on Vest's famous defense of the dog as "man's best friend" in a lawsuit filed by a grandfather (Ralph Moody) and his grandson (Danny Flower) against Carter Johnson (Charles Cooper), a property owner who in a rage kills a playful dog trespassing on Johnson's property.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0556919/|title=Tribute to the Dog on ''Death Valley Days''|publisher=Internet Movie Data Base|accessdate=September 10, 2018}}</ref>
