Saturday Matinee – Fess Parker, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone & stuff

Here’s to Fess Parker (August 16, 1924 – March 18, 2010).

When Disney’s semi-historical series on Davy Crockett ran out (Crockett was killed at the Alamo), Fess Parker had garnered a lot of fans. What to do next? Cast him as Daniel Boone, of course.

As Daniel Boone, Fess Parker’s costar was Ed Ames, who portrayed an Indian scout. Here he is demonstrating his famous hatchet throwing skills.

Have a great weekend folks, and R.I.P. Mr Parker.
