I loved Fess Parker as Daniel Boone when I was a little boy. (I was too young to see Davy Crockett). A few years ago, I produced a travel film for Petra Haffter, a Director friend of mine, about the Central Coast of California ("Highway One - Street of Dreams"). I suggested we interview Fess for the film, as he realized his dreams living in Santa Barbara. It was fun meeting him and very moving, as he still embodied a quiet and steady heroic quality. Although some of his land use development strategies were controversial to some folks, Fess was a cool guy who built an enduring legacy on and off the screen.
Mr. Parker was a Real Person!!!
