Scoop is saddened to report the passing of Fess Parker, known to generations as Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone. It is difficult to overstate the cultural impact of his portrayal of Crockett, which became a not-so-small industry in 1954. Coonskin caps and a hit theme song were just the tip of the iceberg.

His post acting career saw him turn into a successful real estate developer, hotelier and wine maker.
