Description
Flower Garden at Fess Parker Winery by Barbara Snyder
Fess Parker’s portrayal of the frontiersmen Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone during the 1950’s and 1960’s garnered him a legion of adoring fans spanning many generations. It might well be said that Fess’s similarity to those straight talking, hardworking country gentlemen is what endeared him to millions and helped him achieve success in the business world when he made the decision to walk away from Hollywood in the early 1970’s.
Originally from Texas, Parker enrolled at the University of Texas following his tour of duty in the U.S. Navy during WWII. He graduated from UT with a degree in history in 1950. After moving to California he worked on his Masters degree in drama at the University of Southern California. Parker began acting professionally in 1951 as a stage performer in the national company of Mister Roberts. In 1954 the stars aligned and Walt Disney cast Parker in the title role of Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
ess Parker was a man of great optimism and curiosity. A man who possessed an uncanny ability to envision what was possible in any given scenario. Accordingly, he was ever eager to embrace the next challenge. It stands to reason then that a desire to breach boundaries is woven into the fabric of the next generation of Parkers.
