    Fess Parker Dies at Age 85

    By fortunato  |  Posted March 18, 2010  |  Baltimore, Maryland
     

    From AP:

     

    'Fess Parker,  a baby-boomer idol in the 1950s who launched a craze for coonskin caps as  television's Davy Crockett,  died Thursday of natural causes. He was 85.

     

    Family spokeswoman Sao Anash said Parker, who was  also TV's Daniel Boone and later a major California winemaker and developer, died at his Santa Ynez Valley  home. His death comes on the 84th birthday of his wife of 50  years, Marcella.'

     

    Another role model passes away.

     

    Although I remember him more for his Daniel Boone series, I did enjoy his work as Davey Crockett.
