RIP, Daniel Boone

'Daniel Boone' star Fess Parker dies
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Fess Parker, best known for playing Daniel Boone in a 1960s television series, died Thursday at his home near Santa Barbara, California, his publicist said. He was 85.

Parker followed his acting career with successful hotel and winery ventures around Santa Barbara.

Here's the most interesting part:
Parker is survived by his wife of 50 years, Marcella

In Hollywood? That's astounding.

Rest in Peace, Fess. You will be missed.

That is all.

50 years, married to the same woman? In Hollywood? My hat's off to the man.

I'll repost a comment someone left over at my blog about Fess Parker:

Aside from his acting roles, Fess Parker was a real life defender of property rights. As a real estate developer he learned firsthand how intrusive government can be.
